In 2019, ASEAN's buildings sector accounted for 23% of final energy use and 24% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, excluding emissions from manufacturing building materials (IEA, 2020). While the ASEAN Member States (AMS) are at various stages of economic development and have access to different energy resources and energy consumption requirements, they share the...
Urban energy models (UEM) are critical data-driven tools to support energy-efficient, climate-resilient city planning and its operations. They also play a key role in accessing the decentralised renewable energy generation potential within the city, which in turn help design and operate Net Zero Neighbourhoods. The development of UEMs depend upon the range of spatial...
To address the challenge of achieving universal access to cooling while avoiding substantial greenhouse gas emissions, we need to identify, implement and upscale low carbon and sustainable technologies. Renewable-based cooling options are among these solutions, but their application and transformational potential remain largely untapped. In this session, the International Renewable Energy Agency, the United Nations...

This webinar aims to cover the fundamentals to achieve the Net Zero Energy goal. Speakers will highlight a case study from St Andrews student's hostel at Gurugram, India covering its design priorities for thermal comfort and functionality to become an exemplar of zero energy design. This webinar is part of the ‘NZEB Knowledge Series’ – an...
Climate Responsive Design is fundamental to achieve the Net Zero Energy goal. St.Andrews student's hostel at Gurugram, India by Zero Energy Design Labs (ZED) embodies this and more. The design prioritizes thermal comfort and functionality to become an exemplar of zero energy design. Strategies such as appropriate form and orientation, materiality and creation of spaces...
Solar trackers significantly boost the amount of electricity through the constant orientation of the PV panels towards the sun for the whole day. This virtual conference will focus on structure, tracker, and mounting systems for both utility and solar rooftop projects in India. This event will also discuss the best combination of module-tracker for achieving...
Humanscapes is an 18,000-square-foot, net-positive energy, experimental housing complex located in Auroville, India. This mixed-use development of residences, community and workspaces besides being sustainable, wants to address the issues of skill development and capacity building of construction labour, who are mostly distressed migrants in India to improve their economic condition and reduce construction waste in...
