| Summary: | This report summarizes the findings of
an extensive literature survey of the experiences of
implementing BEECs in developed countries. It also includes
case studies of four developing countries- China, Egypt,
India, and Mexico and the state of California in the United
States of America. It aims to inform both the World Bank
Group and its client countries about global best practices
and emerging lessons from developing countries in the design
and implementation of BEECs. The report also serves as a
primer on the basic features of BEECs and the commonly
adopted compliance and enforcement approaches. The key
challenges to improving compliance enforcement in developing
countries include the level of government commitment to
energy efficiency, the effectiveness of government oversight
of the construction sector, the compliance capacity of
domestic/local building supply chain, and the financing
constraints. These challenges are surmountable in countries
where economic growth is sustained and energy efficiency is
pursued as a key element of national energy strategy. |
