Objectives:

By the end of this workshop, participants should be able to:  

·         Identify and discuss the key practices of sustainable and energy efficient building.

·         Get general awareness associated with construction practices and green building design practices. 

·         Analyze the costs and benefits of incorporating sustainable building measures.

·         Get energy awareness at planning and execution stages of building construction.

·         Learn electrical energy management for new buildings as well as change in use of existing buildings.

·         Work with architects, designers, builders, building operators, and utilities to improve a building’s performance.

·         Realize there is no such thing as waste, only resources out of place

Summary:

In spite of its low per capita energy consumption, Pakistan has a relatively higher level of associated emissions. This is mainly due to low efficiency in energy production and inefficient end use of energy compared to more developed countries.  

Energy conservation is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energy used without compromising the output/production/comfort. It may be achieved through efficient use of energy. Since the energy conservation reduces the energy consumption and energy demand per capita, thus it offsets the growth in energy supply need to keep up with population growth. This in turn reduces the rise in energy costs, and can reduce the need for new power plants and energy imports.  

Buildings are major users of energy and their energy consumption has important implications to social, economic and environmental issues. A challenging task of planners, architects and other building professionals today is to design and promote energy efficient (EE) buildings in a cost effective and environmentally responsive way.

Implementing EE in building is new in Pakistan. However there is a need to disseminate and encourage professionals, owners of houses and buildings not only to make their new buildings energy efficient but there is a need to create awareness in the end users to adopt the practices of energy conservation.

This workshop is targeted to reach these stake holders, including architects, engineers, developers, academia and decision makers in the public and private sectors, so that they contribute towards making a green Pakistan.

This training workshop will introduce the basic concepts of energy efficiency in buildings, provide practical information of energy efficient technologies, and explain the common methods for building energy analysis and focused on how to make building more comfortable and productive for occupants while using less energy and reducing operating costs. The workshop will be spread over 2 days covering Do’s and Don’ts in architectural planning, orientation of new house/building with particular reference to energy saving, plumbing, HVAC, electrification, good finishes, and actual construction process to produce high quality and high efficiency construction work.
