3. The International Institute for Energy Conservation – IIEC (1)  IIEC: Global non-profit. SA, Brazil, India, Philippines, Thailand and US (smallest office)  Brings sustainable energy solutions to developing countries & economies in transition - 1984  Solutions include energy efficiency, resource efficiency, renewable energy, and integrated transport planning  IIEC-Africa: SA based, registered and staffed non-profit organization – 1995.

4. The International Institute for Energy Conservation – IIEC (2)  IIEC-Africa promotes energy efficiency, sustainable transport and climate change mitigation within the in-country developmental, environmental and sustainability contexts of the African continent  Since 1997 – focus on EE low-income housing promotion Comprehensive market change programme (SHI)  Current: Housing - support to DoH in terms of mainstreaming of EE housing, development marketplace & Green Buildings review for USAID.  Local solutions, internationally informed and strengthened  www.iiec.org www.iiec.org

5. Topic for Today…

6. Building Codes – IIEC Project Perspective  Definition: Building energy codes set minimum energy efficiency standards for design and construction while ensuring occupant comfort  IIEC’s Role: Honest Broker – represent Government; no vested interest in developing the code or setting criteria (non-Gov/non-profit)  Translates into real access to private and public sector / non biased

7. Thailand & Vietnam  Providing technical support to the Thai and Vietnamese Teams in doing the analyses for developing the energy codes  Development of user guides  Training and capacity building of engineers/architects in using the codes, and designing energy efficient buildings  Working with local teams to identify information resources for energy efficient products and design assistance in the country

8. India  IIEC: Developing the ECBC on behalf of BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency – Government body set up to implement the EC Act, 2001) and is being funded by USAID (ECOII Project)  Mandatory codes for commercial buildings and advisory standards for residential buildings  Activities: Programme management, technical support, programme development, training, advise on implementation and compliance  Covers six climatic areas, six provisions for six climate areas…

Stakeholder Involvement… Local Businesses & Financial Institutions Local Businesses & Financial Institutions Stakeholders Building Owners Builders/Contractors Legislative Agencies Educational Institutions Manufacturers Architects/Engineers Utilities Standard Setting Bodies Standard Setting Bodies Building Users Financial Institutions Advocacy Groups & Associations Advocacy Groups & Associations Funding Agencies User Groups Government and NGOs Industry Funders

10. Energy Conservation Building Codes (ECBC) Development Process - India  Use exiting data and experts for baseline and Energy Conservation Measures Supplemented by target energy audits  Analysis for supporting technical requirement for codes and draft submitted for peer review Review international building equipment rating systems  Iterative (3 rounds) of peer review resulting in draft code for Government approval

11. ECBC Implementation Process  Software and tools for implementation  Workshop to facilitate Government’s review of ECBC adoption alternatives including rating systems  Training and workshops  Work Plan Schedule Designed to Facilitate Peer Participation

12. Proposed Institutional Structure for ECBC Process in India Building Energy Code Advisory/Working Committee Technical Committees Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Lighting Building Envelope Service Water Heating Technical Experts/Consultants Electric Power and Distribution Logistics Support Team BEE Governing Council Stakeholders’ Panel Ministry of Power Executive Council

13. Process and Next Steps…  Market Mechanism for code implementation Rating/Award Scheme for Energy Efficient Buildings S&L for products Product promotion (new tech.) Product rating (windows, insulation, etc) Procurement Practices – life-cycle cost Preferential Tariff Structure  Developing independent certifying agencies  Best Practices Guidelines/Manuals  Training and Capacity Building

14. Recommendations for South Africa…  Recognize the need now, reduce energy use in buildings before or during construction; retro-fit too costly  Implementation process…  Integrate building codes into national sustainability index (similar to CSIR indicators) in order to encourage cross- cutting application (bt. Government departments and practitioners)  Develop unique framework for SA interaction – Government; independent body + stakeholders lead  Market development

16. Energy Code Development Process 1 Define Scope Applicability 2 Commercial Buildings Definition 3 Building Types Commercial Bldgs. 6 Establish Energy Use Baseline Current Practices 5 Detailed Energy Audit 4 Define Prototypes Hotels, Offices, High-rise, Hospitals, etc. 7 Identify Energy Conservation Measures 11 Write the code in legal language 12 Establish Compliance Mechanisms 13 Develop Code Compliance Forms/Software 8 Techno-Economic Analysis Of ECMs 9 Establish Code Levels 10 Review, Comment, and Adjust 14 Develop User Manuals
