Project Dates: August 2023 - August 2028

Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition Project (ALCBT)

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The ALCBT aims to significantly reduce GHG emissions by catalyzing nationwide transitions towards LCB in the project countries. The project focuses on ensuring that technical, planning and institutional tools for LCB are successfully implemented and streamlined by key public and private stakeholders, resulting in direct emission reductions by 2028. – Standardized tools and systems for managing building carbon emissions – Enhanced capacity of key stakeholders to deliver low carbon buildings – Financial pathways established for low carbon buildings transition – Knowledge products produced to facilitate replication and scaling up

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) Project seeks to address regulatory, capacity, and financing gaps that prevent large scale adoption of low carbon buildings (LCB) in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Project interventions build technical GHG emission reduction targets from building materials and operations, particularly from cooling; complementing regional and global initiatives. Buildings are significant contributors to GHG emissions, making it imperative to reduce their energy demand and carbon footprints to meet Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets. In Asia, high energy consumption and rising cooling demands from buildings propel governments to shift to bio-based materials, better design and efficient appliances.
