Workshop Programme
The Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Buildings in East Africa is envisioned within the Programme “Promoting Energy Efficiency in Buildings in East Africa”. This regional GEF project has the objective to mainstream Energy Efficiency measures into housing policies, building codes, municipal bylaws and building practices in East Africa in order to achieve considerable avoidance of GHG emissions as a result of improved buildings and building practices.
The Workshop, sponsored by the UNHabitat Energy Programme will provide training on energy efficient design practices for architects from across East Africa. This is a key step in ensuring the implementation of energy efficient practices in the region.
A Draft Workshop Programme is now available.
