on the decarbonisation pathway in the built environment. It pairs WorldGBC’s Advancing Net Zero Programme with the <a href="http://buildingefficiencyaccelerator.org/">Building Efficiency Accelerator</a> (BEA) and Green Building Councils across the Americas in order to support cities with the transition to net zero. Starting from a focus on design and implementation of energy efficiency policies, the project also informs cities about net zero targets and facilitates the sharing of knowledge and best practices, supported by a network of private companies and NGOs.</p> <p dir="ltr">Between 2019 – 2020, with the leadership of the <a href="https://worldgbc.org/global-directory-of-gbc-members/">Green Building Councils</a>, four policies for increased building efficiency have been approved in the cities of Bogota and Monteria in Colombia, and at the state level in Campeche and Yucatan in Mexico. Another ten policies are currently in development across Latin America in countries like Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guatemala.

Avoiding dangerous global climate change rests on significantly reducing this consumption. Building efficiency is not only a climate imperative, but a crucial piece of the sustainable development puzzle, estimated to be worth $26 trillion dollars by 2030.</p> <p dir="ltr">In a region like Latin America, with 624 million habitants and over 80% of the population living in cities in 2019, achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires ambitious policies to set a clear path towards decarbonisation by 2050.</p> <p dir="ltr">Despite the huge size of the buildings and construction sector, it has traditionally been a fragmented one, slowing the scaling of innovation and best practice from one project to another.

In addition to this, we managed to leverage WorldGBC’s <a href="https://worldgbc.org/advancing-net-zero">Advancing Net Zero</a> project and introduced net zero concepts to this network of cities, helping to get them started on their journey towards energy efficiency and net zero carbon building.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordionSection theme-navy"> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header collapsed" id="wgbcPanel-heading8deab6a2188d42170bae70484ba23910" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#wgbcPanel-panel8deab6a2188d42170bae70484ba23910" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="wgbcPanel-panel8deab6a2188d42170bae70484ba23910"> <div class="wrapper container-fluid b-content_section"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1"> <div class="header-wrapper"> <h2 data-aos="fade-up">The BEA in Colombia, Mexico and the Region</h2> <div class="icon-wrapper"> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="wgbcPanel-panel8deab6a2188d42170bae70484ba23910" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="wgbcPanel-heading8deab6a2188d42170bae70484ba23910"> <section class="c-section c-section--content_section theme-navy type-default padding-bottom"> <div class="wrapper container-fluid b-content_section"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1"> <div class="content " data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-offset="300"><p dir="ltr">With a focus in Colombia and Mexico, and the national support of respective Green Building Councils, the BEA project sets ambitious standards and baselines for energy savings in different building typologies, covering both new and existing buildings.</p> <p>In Bogota, Colombia, the BEA project as led by Colombia Green Building Council, updated the national energy efficiency building code to set a new baseline which requires all new buildings to achieve 20% energy savings and 30% water savings, starting in 2020. It is projected that this new policy will reduce emissions by improving the performance of 2.5 million homes that are expected to be built in the next thirty years.</p> <p>In Mexico, with the leadership of SUMe (Mexico Green Building Council), the State of Campeche developed a 2021 public policy with mandatory guidelines that incorporate energy efficiency criteria in the operation, purchase, lease, and/or loan of state public buildings (offices, hospitals, schools, etc.). Campeche is intent on leading by example, selecting the State’s Place of Government as the pilot project to design and implement the Energy Management System.</p> <p>The Mexican State of Yucatan developed a Technical Standard on Energy Efficiency in Buildings of the Public Administration in 2020, and a case study to identify opportunities for introducing technologies with low global warming potential and high-efficiency refrigerants in buildings.</p> <p dir="ltr">Throughout Central America, Green Building Councils working with BEA committed cities have supported efforts in Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica, where a hub of municipalities shared best practice, technical efforts, the assessment of energy savings and other resources with platforms and tools.</p> <p dir="ltr">This includes the “Building Efficiency Targeting Tool for Energy Retrofits” (BETTER) via a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between <a href="https://www.lbl.gov/">Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory</a> and <a href="https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/">Johnson Controls</a>, with support from <a href="https://www.icf.com/company/about">ICF</a>. This partnership provided technical and strategic tools to design and implement building efficiency measures to over <a href="http://buildingefficiencyaccelerator.org/bea-cities/">twelve committed cities and states</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Examples of the tools range from designing a protocol that allows for the local implementation to workshops and educational training for all audiences. More than 3,000 local government officials, private sector representatives, academic institutions, and international partners in Latin America participated in online and in-person activities and workshops on the fundamentals of structuring, implementing, measuring and reviewing such a code. In addition, demonstration projects and private sector commitments showcased the economic business case for building efficiency measures. Thus, this partnership paves the way for mass scale uptake of buildings that help us achieve our carbon emission targets.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <section class="c-section c-section--content_section theme-white type-default padding-both"> <div class="wrapper container-fluid b-content_section"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1"> <h2 data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-offset="300">Next Steps</h2> <div class="content " data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-offset="300"><ol> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Ensuring that the policies currently under development go through to implementation.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Cities/states advance their mechanisms for reporting and verification in order to measure real time energy and carbon savings.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Including new cities/states with ambitious net zero targets into the programme.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Drafting national decarbonisation roadmaps for the building and construction sector in countries such as Colombia, where the work we have done with the BEA has advanced both existing and new policies in various cities and states</p> </li> </ol> <blockquote> <p dir="ltr"><em>Achieving a net zero built environment can only become a reality through radical cross-sector collaboration, including all members of the value chain.
