This week, the COVA team in Cambodia attended the Building Energy Efficiency Assessment Programme workshop, hosted by Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction and GGGI under the Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) Project.
With Cambodia’s construction sector continuing to grow rapidly, the push toward low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings is more relevant than ever. The workshop offered great insight into how the sector can adapt and where opportunities lie.
Here are some key takeaways:
- 250 buildings are currently undergoing deep-dive energy assessments, with 50 already completed.
- A national baseline is being developed to inform emission assessment tools
- The goal is to train 300 professionals on low-carbon practices over the next 2.5 years.
At COVA, we support this direction and see huge potential in combining technical expertise with smarter, more efficient design approaches. The future of construction in Cambodia is low-carbon, and it starts with conversations like these.
