1 NAMA Development for the Building Sector in Asia

2 Bali Action Plan Nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing country Parties in the context of sustainable development, supported and enabled by technology, financing, and capacity-building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner. Appropriate mitigation action is related to each country's particular national circumstances and priorities, which include economic and/or social conditions (national appropriateness) NAMAs can be policy-based or project-based Standards; Regulations; Financial Incentives Retrofits; Targeted building stock Support for NAMAs Unilateral Supported- Internationally (e.g. financial, technological) Credited- generate credits Subject to MRV (levels of stringency)

3 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 and Nuclear Safety (BMU) to facilitate building sector mitigation actions in Asia, assisting Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam, and to develop a sectorspecific MRV methodology based on UNEP-SBCI s Common Carbon Metric.

4 PROJECT PARTNERS UNEP-DTIE (Division of Technology, Industry and Economics- includes Energy Branch, SCP, Ozone Action UNEP- Regional Office for Asia-Pacific, Bangkok Supported by Thailand The Philippines Indonesia Viet Nam Observer partner countries: China, India, Malaysia

5 Why NAMA for Buildings? 1/3 of global GHG emissions is from the building sector- the single largest contributor of emissions 40% of global energy use 40% of waste generated by volume 25% of global water usage 40% of global material resources 60% of world s electricity consumed in residential and commercial buildings Energy used for heating, cooling, ventilation lighting, plug loads, water production, etc. Growth regions: Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Latin America

6 Why NAMA for Buildings? Building sector represents 10% of global GDP- higher in some rapidly developing countries Employs more than 111 million people, including within the sector s supply chain More than $7 trillion in annual expenditures in the sector- expected to increase to $12 trillion by 2020 Nearly $100 trillion will be spent in construction sector over the next 10 years Significant Opportunities for Co-benefits and Market Transformation

7 Why NAMA for Buildings? By 2030, 80% of the world s population will be living in cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America By 2030, 40% of the population (3 billion people) will need access to housing How to meet this demand in a resource efficient way? Need for housing, commerce, schools, hospital.. Contributions to Sustainable Development

8 Why NAMA for Buildings? Enormous potential for lowcost GHG emission reduction in the building sector Estimated economic mitigation potential by sector and region using technologies and practices expected by available in 2030 Source: IPCC 2007, 4 th Assessment Report, Working Group III

10 Project Approach Stakeholders Mapping: Who is involved in the sector? Who else needs to be? Engagement and looking toward implementation of mitigation actions: National Government; Private Sector; Local Authorities; NGOs, Research and other institutions Assessment- Taking Stock Existing regulations, data and projected targets, Policies in place (regulations, voluntary initiatives), assist in reviewing ambition and effectiveness Energy Efficiency and Renewable Targets and supporting programmes Identify barriers, Technology needs, financing and institutional capacity building Sectoral opportunities in national strategies

11 Project Approach Development Identify potential policy/project actions for consideration Estimate mitigation potential of various actions Estimate costs/benefits of actions- and the costs of inaction Build scenarios (policies, technology, finance and institutional needs) Identify potential co-benefits and synergies Facilitate Sectoral Strategies within NAMA Assist in developing sectoral approaches in national plans and NAMA strategies Liaise with UNFCCC on potential NAMA submissions Develop MRV methodology to support actions Capacity Building Identify training needs to support development and implementation of actions Jointly conduct workshops to engage stakeholders Develop support materials for project implementation

12 National Strategies and Goals Potential Action (Policies and Projects) Mitigation Impact What is the cost of the action Economic Savings Finance Institutional Framework to Support Mitigation Actions (Country level) Social Benefits Market Transformation - Public Actions - Private Sector Support Education and Awareness Raising Regional Network & Database to support NAMAs and Technology Technologies MRV Capacity Building

13 Common Carbon Metric A methodology used to define buildings climate impact Consistent with principles and standards for environmental performance assessments (ISO standards and WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas protocol) Allows for bottom-up, and top-down data compilation Meets the requirements that reporting is measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV); Methodology to support NAMAs Incorporated in UNEP-SBCI coordinated activities/workshops and UNEP s NAMA project in Asia Basis for ISO standard; Approved at Draft International Standard (DIS) stage Measuring Energy Use & Reporting GHG Emissions from Building Operations Energy kwh/m 2 /yr Emissions (equiv.) kgco 2 e/m 2 /yr kgco 2 e/occupant/yr

14 Identify and Align with relevant initiatives Capitalize on Existing Initiatives Assess scaling opportunities Current national initiatives Project/programmes with international support Evaluate synergies with SCP, Ozone to further promote sector opportunities Identify sub-sector opportunities Lighting Cooling and Refrigeration (ODS) Building Controls Insulation/Building Envelope (ODS) Identify potential implementation strategies Local Authorities Private sector engagement International support Identify Co-benefits of Mitigation Actions Economic and Social

16 Support for Data and Regional Network Development of Database to support NAMAs and Building Sector initiatives Baseline performance Data Needs -- Align Data collection with Global frameworks MRV requirements and level of stringency Structure to provide for further policy implementation Measure progress Regional Network Engagement of national and regional stakeholders International expert network to support sector Scaled opportunities for finance, technology transfer Opportunities for replication (local, national, regional)

17 NAMAs for the Building Sector in the UNFCCC Registry Type: NAMA seeking implementation support Name: Introduction of metering system and billing on the basis of measured consumption in district heating systems in Serbia Description: Almost all residential consumers connected to the district heating (DH) network in Serbia are paying their bill based on the floor size, instead of actual heat consumption. This billing system prevents consumers provides no incentive for energy saving. The NAMA involves installation of metering devices of heat consumption by each consumer, a necessary prerequisite for billing on the basis of actual heat consumption. Measures to be introduced include heat allocators with radio modem, thermostatic radiator valves as well as rehabilitation of 50% of existing substations in Serbia (approximately 12,500 substations) and installation of heat meters, automatic control, pumps with integrated frequency converters, plate heat exchangers, valves, etc. The NAMA will contribute to climate change mitigation through reducing the consumption of heat at residential sector, which is generated by fossil fuels. Time requirement: 4 years from 2013 Estimated full cost for implementation the NAMA: 212 m EUR in total. 0 incremental cost. Financial support need is 212 m EUR in grant or loans. Estimated GHG emission reduction: 6,582,340 tco2e for 20 years (0.32 MtCO2 per year) Source: UNEP RISOE Centre

18 NAMAs for the Building Sector in the UNFCCC Registry Type: NAMA Seeking Support for Implementation Name: Energy Efficiency Improvements in Public Buildings: 23 schools and 26 hospitals Serbian Energy Efficiency Project (SEEP), Serbia Description: The overall goal of the Project is to improve energy efficiency in public buildings and improve thermal comfort for users. The NAMA involves re-furbishment of 23 schools and 26 hospitals throughout Serbia. The NAMA will contribute to climate change mitigation as the targeted buildings will use less energy and consequently emit less CO2- approximately 8,326 tones annually during their projected life cycle over BAU scenario. National Implementation Entity: Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection Time requirement: 4 years from 2013 or project acceptance Estimated full cost for preparation: 12.5 m EUR; 0 incremental cost. Financial support need: 12.5 m EUR in loans/grants. Estimated GHG emission reduction: MtCO2e for 25 years (8.326 MtC02e/yr) Source: UNEP RISOE Centre

19 NAMAs for the Building Sector in the UNFCCC Registry Type: NAMA Seeking Support for Implementation Name: Improvement of old residential buildings envelope (exterior doors, windows and thermal insulation) in Serbia Description: Residential buildings in Serbia up to 1980 s were generally built without any thermal insulation, resulting in tremendous energy consumption for space heating today. The objective of this project is rehabilitation of about 10% of the existing residential buildings in Serbia built from 1950 s to 1980 s -- approximately 10 millions square meters. Improvements in selected residential buildings throughout Serbia will reduce heat energy consumption and costs, increase the level of indoor comfort, providing end users satisfaction, while reducing GHG emissions National Implementation Entity: Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning Time requirement: 8 years, starting from 2013 Estimated full cost for preparation: m EUR; 0 incremental cost; financial support needed m EUR, in any form. Estimated GHG emission reduction: a total of 15,119,070 tco2e for 30 years (0.504 MtCO2e/yr). Source: UNEP RISOE Centre
