Regional Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations (Southeast Asia region)

Summary

The report recommends to policy makers willing to elaborate/implement energy efficiency policies to focus on three main goals : (1) Require building energy codes and MEPS, (2) Aim for net-zero energy consumption in buildings, (3) Improve the energy efficiency of building envelopes, systems and critical building components. Therefore, policies should include (a) MEPS for key building envelope components, energy-using systems, and critical building components, (b) means/tools of Measurement and financial incentives to encourage all stakeholders to improve energy efficiency in buildings, (c) a strong commitment by governments to improve the efficiency of public-sector buildings (e.g. green or preferential procurement policies).
