International Climate Initiative- NAMA Development for the Building Sector

UNEP developed a five year project, funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMU) to facilitate building sector mitigation actions in Asia, assisting Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam, and to develop a sector-specific MRV methodology based on UNEP-SBCI’s Common Carbon Metric.

NAMA Development for the Building Sector in Asia

Public Buildings

• Lack of understanding and/or analysis of building performance • Lack of Awareness • Lack of Incentives at departmental/ministry level • Disconnect capital/operating budgeting • Lack of design or performance standards for performance • Lack of Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) criteria/guidelines


Barriers- Sub-sectors

Residential Buildings

• Lack of Awareness • Access to finance • Lack of building standards

• Limited guidance to market • Reluctance to regulate/enforce

• Risk • Capacity to enforce

• Highest consumption from post-occupancy installations • Decision based on lowest cost (inefficient) equipment, especially in entry market

• ‘Reactive’ market (actions triggered by equipment failures) • Low penetration rates in available EE finance and/or incentive programmes



Commercial Buildings

• Lack of Awareness • Market competitiveness/Financing • Lack of building standards

• Limited guidance to market • Reluctance to regulate/enforce

• Risk • Capacity to enforce

• Split incentives • Limited understanding/uptake of available technologies

• Access • Expertise/operations



Common • Information and Data • Energy Audits • Incentives • Enforcement and Compliance • Inter-Agency cooperation • Consumer Awareness • Benchmarks • Quality Assurance/Quality Control • Reduce Cost of Expertise • Minimum Energy Performance Standards

• Capacity Building • Supporting Legislation • Business Case • Finance • Monitoring • Increase Renewables

• Address Different

Challenges of New and Existing Buildings

• Also address issues of Resource Efficiency- Water, Waste, Material Use


Needs

• To develop a NAMA Programme in the Building Sector which will assist in realizing the potential for energy savings and significant GHG emission reductions through ambitious policy actions, resulting in high-performing public, residential and commercial buildings, and contribute to overall climate strategies and targets. The NAMA Programme will foster ambitious actions that will have transformative impacts on the building and construction market, stimulate innovation, and create market certainty to encourage a wide range of investments.

Develop Strong Goal for NAMA

• Strengthen enforcement of minimum performance standards and existing building codes for all building types (Residential, Commercial, Public/Institutional)

• Determine actions in sub-sectors with greatest potential to achieve impact at scale, deliver co-benefits, transform markets

• Develop a transition plan to performance based codes which facilitate integrated, energy efficient and cost effective building designs that achieve an overall energy performance standard.

• Transition plan must include developing internal capacities at various levels of jurisdiction, research support, and training/awareness raising in private sector • Targeted Trainings for Regulators, Codes Officials, Business and Industry

Councils

• Possible financial support/incentives for transition period

• Stimulate industry response, invention and action.

• Market penetration for efficient products and

solutions.

• Create market certainty for investment

Regulation- Minimum Environmental Performance Standards (Ambition: HIGH)

Mitigation Potential Market Transformation Innovation Co-Benefits

• Establish an Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings programme to demonstrate leadership, raise awareness, and stimulate market: Assess the performance of existing public buildings, establish benchmarks for new buildings and determine steps to realize ambitious targets for retrofitting and new construction.

• Initial Actions • Data Collection and Reporting on Energy Consumption- kWh/m2 /yr

and GHG emissions • Report against Performance Benchmarks that REQUIRE actions • Labelling system for public buildings

• Institutionalize (finance and support) a mandatory Energy Audit system for all public buildings, with results-based actions

• Building Improvement Programme-- Identify Best and Worst • Best Buildings become performance targets (for existing and baseline for

future buildings); Worst Buildings evaluated for retrofit or replacement • Fund Established or strengthened • % of Buildings become demonstration projects to exceed target performance and incorporate renewables (achieving greater efficiency and stimulating renewable market)

Leadership- Public Buildings (Ambition: Potentially HIGH)


Applying Technologies (Potentially High)

• Facilitate the application of accessible EE and Renewable Energy building technologies, including deployment in public buildings to demonstrate effectiveness;

• Implement greater incentives for building on-site renewables, including Building-Integrated PV, Solar water heating, and where feasible district energy systems

• Develop technology phase-out policy by raising MEPS for appliances and equipment, and/or disincentives (tax, penalties) for inefficient equipment. Ultimate goal to remove inefficient equipment from the market. (Market intervention similar to ban on incandescent bulbs)

• Consider investment to foster renewable energy building products to create jobs, provide greater accessibility to renewables, and to bring products to market more rapidly and affordably; Align investments with building policies (and/or mandates for renewables) to stimulate market demand and assure return on investment

• Potential programme on individual technologies

(e.g. Solar Water Heater incentives or requirement;

Lighting transition programmes)


Overcoming Data Barriers (Ambition: MEDIUM)

• Develop a robust building sector data collection system that supports effective policy development and provides foundation for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of energy efficiency actions.

• System would have multiple users and beneficiaries, including buildings officials, climate policy-makers, financiers, building owners/developers and research institutions.

• Data collection can be combined with certification or labelling programs.

• Supports the continuous development of ambitious policies through analysis and interpretation of data


Estimating Mitigation Potential: Common Carbon Metric (CCM)

ISO standard developed based on CCM, providing internationally adopted approach for measurement of carbon from building operations

• Example: Based on a sampling of 307 public buildings:

• Through input of available data (floor area and electricity consumption),

the CCM generates a CO2 estimate

• 895 GWh Electricity Consumption

• Floor Area (conditioned and non-conditioned) 5,949,502 m2

• Estimated 479,376 tons CO2

• ~150 kWh/m2/year (Baseline Performance)

• A programme to generate Relative Target (- 25%) electricity savings would result in:

• 671 GWh Electricity Consumption

• Estimated 356,541 tons CO2 (reduction of 122,835 tons CO2 annually)

• ~112 kWh/m2/year (Target Performance)

Estimating Mitigation Potential: Common Carbon Metric (CCM)

The Sustainable Housing NAMA of Mexico- Project Concept

Objective: To increase overall number of energy efficient homes Development of three performance benchmarks (and ambition levels) for residential sector: EcoCasa 1; EcoCasa 2; and EcoCasa Max (Passive House): each with associated technical and finance needs • Allows for different levels of scale • Costs estimated based on additional measures applied to each type of building • Passive House standard facilitates market development and technology

transfer • Financing to address additional investment costs:

• Subsidies to homeowners • Bridge loans to developers through revolving fund • Domestic and international support

The Sustainable Housing NAMA of Mexico

NAMA prioritized based on potential and impact: Housing stock by 2030 expected to increase by 56% over 2005 levels1

• NAMA will improve electrical, fossil fuel, and water efficiency in the residential sector by a ‘whole house’ approach. From this perspective, efficiency benchmarks are set for total primary energy demand based on building type and climate.

• The improvements are achieved through deployment of eco-technologies, proliferation of design improvements, and utilization of efficient building materials.

• MRV- For each activity, gas, water and electricity consumption, room temperature, specific temperature in walls, floor and ceiling will be measured (performance)

• Comfort for homeowners, Access to clean energy, Capacity building in sustainability for developers and homeowners, Economic savings, green jobs, Air Quality improvements and efficient Land Use
