The document discusses governance challenges around improving building energy efficiency in Indian cities, as buildings account for over 30% of the country's electricity use. While India has implemented multiple building energy programs and codes over the past decade, energy performance outcomes remain weak due to a lack of coordination between different levels of government, limited government capacity, and disconnected energy and climate agendas. The document argues for a more holistic socio-technical approach to building energy efficiency that strengthens linkages across different levels of governance and stakeholders.

The 2nd Annual Midwest Regional Building Energy Codes Conference was held on October 5-6, 2011 in Chicago. It was attended by 42 guests representing state code officials, state energy officials, utility representatives, energy code advocates, manufacturers, energy efficiency program administrators, architects, and building trades professionals.
The conference built on the previous year's conference and the ongoing codes developments in the region to continue to work towards developing a regional approach to promoting the adoption, implementation, and improving compliance with building energy codes in the Midwest.
Presentations: Decarbonising Buildings in Cities and RegionsOECDregions
Improving energy efficiency in buildings can substantially reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while also stimulating job creation and making energy more affordable for households.
These are the speaker presentations given at the OECD Decarbonising Buildings in Cities and Regions webinar on 14 December 2020
This webinar was held on August 20th, and examined both Kentucky's unique energy landscape and the DOE-funded, soon-to-be-completed 3 year stakeholder project to design a strategy for achieving a 1% voluntary energy efficiency goal - without a mandated portfolio standard.
Samantha Williams, Policy Manager at MEEA, provided an overview of Kentucky's recently- released Action Plan for Energy Efficiency - the first of its kind in the state. Since January 2011, MEEA has been working with the Kentucky Department for Energy Development and Independence on a comprehensive stakeholder process with the goal of reaching a voluntary 1% electric energy savings goal through efficiency. This process culminated in the Action Plan, which lays out a strategy to achieve this goal and ensure environmental protection, create jobs and maintain low-cost, reliable energy into the future. Ms. Williams will discuss how the Action Plan and its focus on voluntary measures could be a model for other states.
Lee Colten, Kentucky Department for Energy Development and Independence, will review a key element of the Action Plan: a new process for Kentucky to annually track utility-run energy efficiency program performance and evaluate progress towards the State's energy efficiency goals. Mr. Colten will describe how Kentucky's collaborative efforts with utilities are helping demonstrate at the state level, and nationally, the success of Kentucky's efficiency programs and policies and the strides that have already been achieved in the last decade.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

This keynote was presented during the the 7th edition of the UAE Hackathon 2024. It highlights the role of AI and Generative AI in addressing government transformation to achieve zero government bureaucracy
2. Outline
• Context
• Locating buildings within cities and the
energy-climate context
• Mapping building energy policy and governance
• Examining building energy outcomes
• Looking ahead
3. Cities as sites of energy
consumption
• Structural transitions in India’s cities
• 200 million moving to urban centres in next 20 years
• Investment of $1 trillion in infrastructure over the
12th Plan period
• By 2050, floor area in India will escalate by 400%
• “Growth engines”: 75% of GDP from cities in next 15
years
• Resulting new interconnected relationships
• Population, development, socio-environmental, climate
change impacts
• Challenges require different tools
• Restructuring economies, ways of life, new
4. Locating buildings within city
planning
• Buildings >30% of economy’s electricity use
• Increasing access to housing and electricity
• 2/3rds of commercial + high-rise residential buildings in
2030 yet to be built (2010)
• Buildings significant contributor to India’s carbon
emissions
• Paris Agreement opens new spaces for mitigation action in
national energy contexts
• Urbanization process preshapes available action space
to prevent lock-in
• Path dependencies from long lifetime of buildings of ~50
years
• Lock-in risk of final energy use in buildings (for space
heating and cooling) in India is 414% by 2050 (US — 53%;
China — 63%)
6. Energy outcomes over ten years
• Weak energy performance metrics in spite of
multiple activities
• Energy Performance Index ~200-400 kWh/sqm/yr (efficient
building ~100 kWh/sqm/yr)
• 7 of 35 Indian states/UTs notified the building
code after almost a decade
• Most states in process of code notification, yet to
see wide implementation
• Small segment of private developers adopt
efficiency technologies
• Most activities flow top-down (international →
national → subnational)
7. Why weak energy outcomes?
1. Lack of harmonization and accountability
in institutional structure

Town planning offices include provisions
into local bye laws

• Policy push from BEE

• Overlapping
responsibilities +
poor coordination
between levels
• Notification:
coordination
between national
(MoP)-state (UDD)
but UDD usually
coordinates w/MoUD
• Post notification, Illustrative ECBC governance map for Karnataka
8. 2. Constraints of capacity
• Capacity often emphasized, but current capabilities do
not mirror requirements for transformation of a major
sector
• BEE master trainers often not offered opportunities to
use acquired skills
• State and local bodies require numbers and training for
implementation and monitoring
• 80% of SDAs share MNRE and MOP objectives, political
economy of the SDA results in little interest in EE
• Often the number of officials within the SDA to
handle ECBC issues is less than 5 persons/state
Why weak energy outcomes?
9. 3. Interacting energy and climate change agendas
across multiple levels of governance
• Disconnected agendas
• at international level, discussions are climate
driven
• at national level, concern is development, energy
security, with some climate attention
• for the states, motivation is managing energy
supplies and peak load
• the local level is largely insulated from energy or
climate debates
• E.g. of is the absence of buildings in most states’
climate plans
Why weak energy outcomes?
10. Changing the status quo
• Policy programs can assume that technologies/codes along
bring change
• Re-think buildings efficiency from a technical problem
to a socio-technical problem:Technology and market access
Users and behaviour
• Individuals/households
• Organizations
Policies and governance
• Role of state departments
• Role of municipalities and
urban local bodies
Building
energy
efficiency
11. Looking Ahead
• Differentiated approach to capacity building
• Understand state-specific local needs and communicate
between states
• Organizational capacity to oversee local implementation
• For code implementation, progress driven by individual
leadership, not compliance structures
• Strengthen linkages and agendas across national
and local levels
• How can the Energy and Urban Development Departments
work more closely together?
• Better links between state and local levels for outcomes
on the ground
• Better linkages within states -- network of state energy
