Abstract

Mandatory or voluntary energy-efficiency standards for new or existing buildings can play an important role in a national program aimed at promoting energy conservation. Building codes and standards can provide a degree of control over design and building practices throughout the construction process, and encourage awareness of energy-conscious design. Studies in developed countries indicate that efficiency standards can produce energy reductions on the order of 20 to 40% or more. Within ASEAN, analyses of the savings potential from the proposed standards suggest that if implemented, these standards would produce savings over current new design practice of 19% to 24%. In this volume we provide an overview of the ASEAN-USAID project aimed at promulgating standards for energy efficiency in commercial buildings. The process of developing and implementing energy-efficiency standards for buildings can be subdivided into two key components: policy development; and technical and economic analysis. Each of these involves a number of steps and processes, as outlined in Figure 1-1. This volume describes the technical and economic analyses used to develop the proposed energy efficiency standards for four countries (Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia), and to refine an energy standard existing in Singapore since 1979.

ASEAN-USAID Buildings Energy Conservation Project. Final report, Volume 3: Audits

Technical Report Loewen, J M ; Levine, M D ; Busch, J F

The auditing subproject of the ASEAN-USAID Buildings Energy Conservation Project has generated a great deal of auditing activity throughout the ASEAN region. Basic building characterisfic and energy consumption data were gathered for over 200 buildings and are presented in this volume. A large number of buildings were given more detailed audits and were modeled with either the ASEAM-2 computer program or the more complex DOE-2 program. These models were used to calculate the savings to be generated by conservabon measures. Specially audits were also conducted, including lighting and thermal comfort surveys. Many researchers in the ASEAN region were trained tomore »« less

ASEAN--USAID Buildings Energy Conservation Project final report. Volume 2, Technology

Technical Report Levine, M D ; Busch, J F

This volume reports on research in the area of energy conservation technology applied to commercial buildings in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. Unlike Volume I of this series, this volume is a compilation of original technical papers prepared by different authors in the project. In this regard, this volume is much like a technical journal. The papers that follow report on research conducted by both US and ASEAN researchers. The authors representing Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand, come from a range of positions in the energy arena, including government energy agencies, electric utilities, and universities.

Environmental externalities: An ASEAN application to coal-based power generation. [Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN)]

Technical Report Szpunar, C B ; Gillette, J L

Significant benefits to human health that result from emissions control programs may justify the costs of pollution control policies. Many scientists, economists, risk analysts, and policymakers believe that comparisons of the benefits with the costs of pollution control demonstrate that the US stationary source, air emissions control program is justified. This justification is based upon pronounced benefits to human health, especially from controlling suspended particulates and sulfur compounds. Market decisions are usually made on the basis of a consideration of traditional costs such as capital, operating and maintenance, fuel costs, and fixed charges. Social costs, which could be significant, aremore »« less

An overview of the ASEAN-Canada project on solar energy in drying processes

Journal Article Halawa, E E.H. ; Brojonegoro, A ; Davies, R - Drying Technology

The ASEAN-Canada Project on Solar Energy in Drying Processes officially started on 1 April 1992 with contracts signed between the National Project Offices (NPOs) from the ASEAN countries and the Canadian Executing Agency. The project officially terminated on 31 March 1996. Under the project, 9 implements consisting of 6 solar drying units and three heat pump dryers were designed, constructed and installed in 5 of ASEAN countries, i.e., Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Despite some problems encountered during the period of construction and installation, all the implements have operated successfully and functioned as expected. They serve as demonstration unitsmore »« less
