efficient public buildings.
Build capacity and disseminate knowledge.
BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT (BEEP)
Built Environment
Achievements
•
11 integrated design workshops organized
for commercial /public building resulting in
reduction of energy consumption by 2040%.
•
Guidelines for energy-efficient multi-storey
residential buildings for composite and hot
climates officially launched in 2014.
•
A public building in Jaipur, Rajasthan
constructed using energy-efficient design
recommendations, estimated to save
energy by 32%.
•
About 500 building sector professionals
made aware of integrated design
methodologies and best practices for
energy-efficient buildings.
BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT (BEEP)
Built Environment
Planned Results
•
More building professionals and practitioners are
introduced to integrated design practices and
•
trained in energy-efficient designs.
Laboratory capacity in India to test the thermal
performance of insulation materials and
•
assemblies is strengthened.
Comprehensive guidelines on designing energyefficient residential buildings are developed for
two more climatic regions.

possibly a third country accept for
consideration the Standards for production
and use of LCC.
•
Cement sector invests in the production of
LC3.
LOW CARBON CEMENT PROJECT (LCC)
Built Environment
Planned Results
•
•
