The Green Buildings session explores innovative strategies for creating low-carbon and thermally comfortable buildings.
Low-Carbon Buildings Transition: This presentation highlights the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings to meet climate goals. It addresses regulatory, capacity, and financing challenges, emphasizing solutions for minimizing environmental impacts. The Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) Project will be introduced, showcasing tools and knowledge products for achieving low-carbon buildings and promoting green growth.
Passive-Design for Affordable Housing: The PRiTHVi project presents cost-effective passive-design and passive-cooling solutions to enhance thermal comfort in affordable housing. Utilizing natural elements like sunlight and ventilation, these strategies reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, providing accessible solutions for vulnerable populations.
This session offers insights into sustainable building practices that improve living conditions and reduce the environmental footprint of the built environment.
