PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The “Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT)” is a five-year (2023-2028) project being implemented in five Asian countries – Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, with financial support from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) of Germany under the International Climate Initiative (IKI). GGGI is implementing the project through a consortium comprising of HEAT International, the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), and the Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). In India, the project is being implemented under the guidance of the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Govt. of India.

The ALCBT project seeks to significantly reduce GHG emissions by catalysing nationwide transitions towards low-carbon buildings in India. Technical, planning, and institutional tools for low-carbon buildings will be developed and successfully implemented by key public and private sector stakeholders (including ministries, subnational administrative, developers, building owners, suppliers, engineers, and architects; multilateral and bilateral development institutes, financial services institutions such as ESCOs and banks; academia and training institutes) by the mid of 2028 (Outcome). The result will be achieved through the development of standardized tools and systems for managing carbon emissions from the building sector and piloting them in project countries (Output I); enhancement of capacity for current and future building industry practitioners (Output II); and establishment of financial pathways for low carbon buildings (Output III). Additionally, project knowledge and tools will be accessible online and promoted systematically to stakeholders in project countries, across ASEAN and globally to create market demand, promote replication and scaling up of approach (Output IV).

Under ALCBT project, GGGI has shortlisted 300 buildings from 3 states (Kerala, Uttar Pradesh & Haryana) comprising of public and private owners. These buildings have been further analysed by Building Emission Assessment Tool (BEAT) to know the carbon performance. Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), the consortium partner of ALCBT project is responsible to intervene in 60 existing buildings to upgrade cooling solutions in Cooling-as-a Service (CaaS) or Energy Service Company (ESCO) model. Apart from this, there is a need to develop further project pipelines of low-carbon buildings to attract investments.
