4 SBCI in a Nutshell 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: 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.

5 Context Technology 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

6 Common Language 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 The SB Index Common Carbon Metrics

7 The Common Carbon Metric A methodology used to define buildings climate impact Energy & Carbon intensity: kwh/m 2 /year Kg CO 2 eqv/m 2 /year Kg CO 2 eqv/occupant/year Meets the requirements that reporting is measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) Allows for bottom-up, and topdown data compilation Aligned with ISO, GHG Protocol...

34 CONCLUSION OF 1 ST 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 We shape a safe, high quality, sustainable and friendly built environment.

35 CONCLUSION OF 1 ST WORKSHOP 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 in the region We shape a safe, high quality, sustainable and friendly built environment.
