15 Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency BP: 3 Strategies & 17 Initiatives STRATEGIC INITIATIVES: District cooling and icestorage Co generation GIS for spatial planning Transport design and policy Integrated design and renovation (clusters) Energy Advance (Tokyo Gas), collaborating with Jana DSC, Nusajaya 3. Ensure Energy Efficient in Infrastructure; and Integrated Design 1. Ensure Energy Efficiency in Key Sectors STRATEGIC INITIATIVES: Codes and standards: Green building index Street lighting Education programmes Campaigns (labeling, types of appliances that save energy, good habits) Benchmarking Operation & maintenance STRATEGIC INITIATIVES: IM s own FIT incentives: Solar farms Rooftop solar PV Mini hydro MSW Agricultural wastes Liquid wastes 2. Promote & Support the Development of Renewable Resources Panasonic Fujisawa pilot; Solar PV for PRISMA public housing CASBEE Keio U currently doing pilot assessment for IM region; IRDA proposes to adopt CASBEE as one of the tools for building efficiency assessment; city & region

16 Green Community: On going Low Carbon Lifestyle Enhancing public awareness e.g. JB Transformation Enhancing school awareness on going green Promote Energy Efficiency Eco Life Challenge for schools within Iskandar Malaysia Proposal Bicycling Path Community Engagement & Consensus Building Input from Stakeholders and LCS Information Sharing with stakeholders in IM FGD, Symposium, workshop, regular meetings with the public Portal for Green Technology
