MEMBERS & PARTNERS

1. Provide a common “language” to allow international cooperation on sustainable buildings.

2. Develop tools, methodologies and data that help to identify barriers and enabling measures to wider adoption of sustainable buildings worldwide.

3. Support policy makers and relevant international processes to recognize and realize the role of buildings.

Mission Statement:UNEP-SBCI works to promote sustainable building policies and practices worldwide, with a special focus on buildings and climate change.

Stated Goals of the Initiative:

SBCI in a Nutshell

ContextTechnology in itself is not the main problem – uptake of technology/approaches is.

Inherent problems in building sector include:

• Failing information & know-how

• Fragmentation of interests

• Disconnect over life cycle

• No property value reward

• Failing implementation mechanisms

• Lack of consistent means to monitor and validate performance

• To enable policy making.• For developed and

developing countries• For individual buildings

as well as for building portfolios and city/nation assessments

• Need to ensure consistency between objects and over time

CONCLUSION OF 1ST WORKSHP

Similar challenges:• Lack of technical know-how / expertise• Low energy tariff and minimal incentives• Lack of awareness government and stakeholders• Fragmented nature of building stakeholders• Availability of comprehensive building energy data

Similar opportunities:• Traditional wisdom, vernacular architecture of the region • Increasing rate of new development

Energy Efficiency as the low hanging fruit.

Need for Regional Coordination:• Regional studies and best practices• Workshops, roundtables and seminars• Training for policymakers as well as trainers

The workshop has established a platform for exchange of ideas & further development on SB initiatives in the region
