In October 2007, the Ministry of Energy Public Utilities (MEPU) launched a US$ 912,411 technical assistance project, funded by the GEF and supported by UNDP, called ‘Removal of Barriers to Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation in Buildings’. The overall project goal was to reduce GHG emissions sustainably through a re-engineering of the building energy efficiency market for existing and new buildings. In setting out to do so, the project activities were designed to ensure that energy is used cost-effectively and rationally throughout the island. The project tackled market barriers in all three areas of a building’s energy use: building fabric, equipment, and people (behaviour). The target was an accumulated total of 42,000 tonnes of CO2eq (direct emission reductions) and 245,000 tonnes CO2eq (indirect emission reductions) over 10 years. The project was intended to overcome barriers to energy efficiency in buildings in Mauritius and reinforce the development of a market approach to improving residential and non-residential building energy efficiency in both existing stock and future buildings.
The project had five broad outcomes (or components):
Building regulations and codes for energy saving are developed, enacted and sustainably enforced;Demand and supply for energy saving services and technology stimulated;Building engineers, architects, compliance officers, policy makers, financial sector, suppliers and public are convinced of the importance and market opportunities for building energy-saving;Monitoring, learning, adaptive feedback and evaluation;Project management.Further details are provided in the detailed Terminal Evaluation Terms of Reference.
