MINISTRY OF CONSTRUCTION

Vietnam Clean Energy Program (VCEP) Creating the Capacity to Enable High Performance,

Green Buildings



Key VCEP Program Activities

1. Demonstration buildings: very energy-efficient & green: 1. Actual high, performance buildings

2. Toward net zero energy buildings

3. Within Green Growth Action Plan (for buildings and urban areas)

2. Major training program: 1. Integrated design - raise level of awareness

2. How to do high performance, low energy green buildings (30% to 50% savings)

3. Energy Simulation Training - Intensive, hands-on training for up to 100 persons.

3. First National database on energy performance of buildings

4. Disseminate project results widely 1. Project results on website within Ministry of Construction website.

2. Key products in DropBox and Box folders

VCEP Training Program: Success Story #2

Key Audiences for Capacity-Building:

– Architects, Engineers, Construction Managers, Facility Managers, and Energy Service providers

– Investors/ Developers, Building Owners, and Lenders

– MOC, DOCs, including public building owners/ operators



VCEP Training Program • Mobilizing local experts together with

foreign experts

• Doing a strong train-the-trainer program

• Established a network of professional and educational institutions as training partners

– Vietnam Institute of Architecture,

– Ha Noi University of Architecture,

– Ho Chi Minh University of Architecture,

– National University of Civil Engineering

– VISRAE

• Introduced advanced energy simulation tools. 10-day hands-on. 100+ trained.

• Seminars in major cities. 1600+ trained.



VCEP Training Program: 3 Study Tours to US

• 1st study tour was in Nov 2014

– 7 delegates

– 4 cities

– Policy meetings

– Successful programs

– Low energy and green buildings

• 2nd study tour was in July 2015

– 8 delegates

– 3 cities

– Policy meetings

– Focus on owners and designers of low energy and green buildings

• 3rd study tour is planned for fall of 2016



National Database of Building Energy Use Success Story #3

1. Needs Assessment and Plan

2. Building Stock: – Identify number of large buildings in last 10 years

– 5 large cities in 3 climate regions

3. First Statistically Valid National Database: – Collection by consultants based on competitive RFPs

– Collect detailed data – walk thru energy audit

– 280 buildings in 15 building types in 3 climate regions

4. Develop online database for ongoing entry of data on buildings – Dual language

– USDOE’s SEED program proposed as template

– First for a few cities, Ultimately for all 63 provinces in Vietnam

Buildings over 2,500m2 constructed each year in Da Nang city (1996-2015)

From Results to date we can estimate that about 120 large buildings are built each year in the five largest cities in Vietnam.
