Practice in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in

Practice in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Commercial Building: Thailand “A Briefing” presented at the APEC New and Renewable Energy Technologies Expert Group Meeting -28 Meeting during 29 -30 January 2007 NEDO Office, Tokyo, JAPAN Peesamai Jenvanitpanjakul Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research )TISTR( 1

Presentation Outline q Thai Energy Conservation Promotion Act q Energy Efficiency Measures q Practice in EE and RE in Commercial Building: Thailand 2

Thailand Energy Situation Energy Consumption by Economic Sectors in 2005 3

The Energy Conservation Promotion Act ENCON Act, April 2, 1992 q EPPO – policy q DEDE - executing agency ENCON Act classifies: q Designated Building q Designated Factory 4

Designated Building: Total installed capacity of 1 MW or more üOffice üHospital ü Hotel ü Educational Building ü Shop üShopping Center ENCON Act specifies the scope of conservation measure: q Efficient Lighting System q Efficient Cooling System q Use of appropriate Construction Material q Installation of Operation Control System 5

Energy Conservation Measure q Energy Audit and Management Schemes q Energy Standards and Labeling q Building Energy Codes q Building Energy Rating and Labeling q Tax Incentive q Energy Efficiency Loan Funds q Rebates for Installation of Energy-Saving Measure q Consumer Awareness and Behavioral Changes 6

Energy Audit and Management Scheme ² Compulsory Energy Audit Programs for designated facilities Ø With grants and subsidy for energy audit Ø No grant and subsidy since 2005 ² Voluntary Energy Management and Audit Programs for non-designated facilities 7

Building Energy Codes Minimum requirement on OTTVs, RTTVs For Designated Building Ø OTTVs- Overall Thermal Transmittance Value q Improve performance of the building q Heating/Cooling temperature q Lighting level q Maximum values for heating/cooling/ventilation Ø RTTVs- Roof Thermal Transfer Value 8

Current Practice in Energy Efficiency in Commercial Building: Thailand No subsidy /no requirement for the energy audit since 2005 Low cost/No cost options q Value engineering (VE) q Public Participation q Incentive: Thailand Energy Award 9
