Nearly Zero Energy Buildings Campaign

Hydrogen

The Nearly Zero Energy Buildings Campaign concluded in May 2019.

ARCHIVED CONTENT:
This campaign strives to advance policy, investment, and information exchange in support of nearly zero energy buildings worldwide. The campaign aims to gather commitments of national authorities in accordance with their own policies. It also seeks to promote and collect commitments of subnational governments and buildings sector stakeholders ranging from building owners and developers to investors or financing institutions. Commitments may include participation in a ministerial call for national governments, pledges from the private sector to elaborate a policy towards NZEB buildings, or pledges from financing actors to orient activity towards energy efficiency in buildings.

The NZEB campaign aims to gather commitments of national authorities in accordance with their own policies. It also seeks to promote and collect commitments of subnational governments and buildings sector stakeholders ranging from building owners and developers to investors or financing institutions. It welcomes all funding. Commitments may include participation in a ministerial call for national governments, pledges from the private sector to elaborate a policy towards NZEB buildings, or pledges from financing actors to orient activity towards energy efficiency in buildings.

The campaign includes several operational actions:

  • A call for integrating the issue of building energy efficiency into public policies via a ministerial declaration open for signature.
  • A call for the swift mobilisation of private capital for the financing and refinancing of investments in sustainable buildings and for the more effective use of existing public funds or aid programmes based on good practices; for example, the Technical Assistance Facility Energy Efficiency Program for Buildings, which today finances, with German and French funds, a first series of projects, notably in Tunisia, Vietnam and Senegal.
  • A platform for commitments highlighting pioneering players such as real estate owners, developers, or investors grouped together in a “Building 100” club.
  • The mobilisation of an international network of energy-efficient buildings and nearly zero energy buildings experts as the basis for future technical assistance programs.
  • Communications at international events throughout the year, including a possible high-level event on financing the low-carbon building transition at mid-term.
