Antecedentes

The Building Sector Energy Efficiency Project (BSEEP) has for its goal the reduction in the annual growth rate of GHG emissions from the Malaysia buildings sector. The project objective is the improvement of the energy utilization efficiency in Malaysian buildings, particularly those in the commercial and government sectors, by promoting the energy conserving design of new buildings and by improving the energy utilization efficiency in the operation of existing buildings. The realization of this objective will be facilitated through the removal of barriers to the uptake of building energy efficiency technologies, systems, and practices.

This consultancy will facilitate the energy efficiency capacity building work targeted at local financial institutions and preliminary transaction advisory services for energy efficiency projects and implementation roadmap for economic instruments for energy efficiency.
