  1. Eco-Housing in Asia and the Pacific Region Inception cum Training Workshop on Eco-housing in Bhutan 21 – 25 March 2006

  2. Population Asia & Pacific • Nearly two-thirds of world population growth is in Asia • Nearly 50 million peoples are being added to Asia every year

  3. Population • Projected population in Asia: 4.88 billion by 2030 Source: World Population Prospects: The 2002 Revision

  4. Urbanization • Asia will have an urban population of 2.6 billion by 2030 Asia Growing urban proportion 54% (2.6 billion) 37% (1.4 billion) Urban Population (Millions) 24% Source: World Population Prospects: The 2002 Revision

  5. GDP Growth Forecast 2003-2015 6.0 3.1 3.1 2.3 • The global economy is expected to grow at 3.1% during the 2002-2015 • Asian economy is projected to be growing at 6% during the same period Source: Global Economic Prospects 2003, World Bank

  6. Emerging Middle Class Middle class (million) based on the number of people who can buy automobiles • 60s and 70s: if a Chinese person wanted to buy a bicycle, he had to save for a few years • Now: for some middle class families, it would only take 2 to 3 years to save and buy a car

  7. Growing Service Sector Share of service sector in global economy Projections 60% 38%

  8. Urban vs. Rural: Energy Consumption

  9. Emissions from mobile source Europe USA & Canada Asia SO2 emissions2 Mobile sources are the major emitters of NOx,CO, particulates, and HC, and in addition contribute to SOx, lead and CO2. 110 million tons 80 million tons Mobile sources contribution in Shanghai1 CO HC NOx Current 75% 93% 44% 2010 94% 98% 75% (million metric tons per year) Source: 1.

  10. Impacts of Air Pollution at Different Scales Global Regional Urban Indoor

  11. Health impacts of air pollution Regional air pollution Urban air pollution Indoor air pollution Scale of health impacts

  12. Health Costs of Air Pollution • Asia1 • An estimated 487,000 premature deaths occur each year due to outdoor air pollution. • China2 • Environmental and health costs of air pollution in China is about 7 % of GDP [budget deficit in 2003 = 3.3% of GDP]5 • Estimates shows that these costs could rise to 13% of China’s GDP by 2020 • Bangkok • Health cost of air pollution • $640 million • $800 million by 2020 Economic Implications of Health Impacts4 Bangkok Exposed to diesel exhaust6 Exposed to clean air6 Source: 1. WHO(2002); 2. State of the World 2003, World Watch Institute; 4. URBAIR project; 5. UN, 2004; 6: NIES, www.nies.go.jp

  13. Costs of Air Pollution Air pollution is becoming a major health threat in Asian cities “An estimated 487,000 premature deaths in Asia occur each year due to outdoor air pollution”1 “ A total of 3,547 persons were killed in international terrorist attacks in 2001”2 1. WHO (2002);2. USDoS(2002)

  14. Impact: water quantity 2003 Increasing supply to cities 105 million tons grain short fall (largest in the record) Increasing temperature Decreasing supply to agriculture Decreasing water table 2004 Need to produce 105 m tons (2003 short fall) 15 m tons (to feed 74 m people who was added in 2004) • 3 of the 4 warmest years on record came during the last 4 years • 2004 projected to be the 5th consecutive year in which the harvest falls short of consumption

  15. Impact: water quality Urban centers contribute more than 25% of the sewage in India • 63% of population in Asia without access to clean water • Infant mortality rates are 10 to 20 times higher in cities without adequate water and sanitation

  16. Import of Petroleum: burden on national budget Total Asian Oil Consumption by 2010 (Barrel / Day)1 Need to be imported from outside the region [18 – 24 million b/d] India spends over $3.5 billion on crude petroleum import annually2. Gasoline consumption trends in Shanghai, China3 Source: 1. Harvard International Review (2003); 2. ESCAP Statistical Year Book 2002; 3. M.P. Walsh, US AEP 2000

  17. Global Primary Energy Use Source: 1. Volt Viewtech (www.energyloans.org)

  18. Emissions from residential areas 4,535 Kg of CO2 / year 9,979 Kg of CO2 /year • Average home emit more than twice as much carbon dioxide as the average car1 Source: 1. Volt Viewtech (www.energyloans.org)

  19. Prevention: Turning the environmental degradation curve Business as usual scenario Environmental degradation Prevention measures such as renewable energy sources Economic development

  20. Prevention Vs Mitigation/rehabilitation Rehabilitation Costs of implementation Mitigation Prevention Costs of damage Prevention Mitigation Rehabilitation 99% efforts Today Tomorrow 99% efforts Today & Tomorrow

  21. Hybrids Price: $20,810 MSRP Fuel efficiency: 23 Km / litre Saving: $5,000 over 15 years Reduces CO2 by 50% CO, HC and NOx by 90% below Japanese standards. Toyota Prius Hybrid

  22. SOLVE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES SOCIAL BENEFITS • create domestic jobs • electricity to remote areas which are not in the national power grid Hydrogen Energy ECONOMIC BENEFITS ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS • eliminate our dependence on foreign oil • solve our balance of payments woes • export opportunities • solve our air pollution problems • eliminate oil spills • reduce noise pollution water H2O

  23. 83,000MW Less than 1.2% of economic potential 42,000MW Hydropower potential in Nepal WATER RESOURCES IN NEPAL Nepal is reach in water resources and among the world’s top 5 countries in hydropower potential. H2O

  25. Knowledge building and education  Networking Demonstration Projects Regional Expert Consultation First Expert group meeting; 13 September 2005 3 groups were formed, and each of them are bringing out a white paper on it.

  26. Work plan for the implementation of Demonstration Projects

  27. General Objective: • promote eco-friendly buildings. • Specific Objectives: • demonstrate the suitability and technological feasibility. • create awareness about the sustainability of eco-friendly buildings, leading to their wider acceptance and use. Objectives

  28. Regional expert group • Develop generic designs for the different climatic zone and economic groups • Assist in constituting a National Task Force (NTF) • Design tailored to each of the selected countries • Enhance the capacity of national technical committee • Assist in the construction in selected countries • Facilitate wider dissemination of the demonstrated concept • Promotion in other countries of the region Demonstration Project: Scope

  29. Scope Phase 3: Evaluation and dissemination Phase 2: Training and construction Phase 1: Development of guidelines and design

  30. Phase 1: Development of Guidelines and Design • Generic guideline • National Inception workshop • Site specific guideline • Training selected local architects • Detailed design by the local architects • Review and finalization of the design

  31. Phase 2: Training and Construction • Identify builders for implementing the construction • Implement the demonstration project with participation of entrepreneurs and local stakeholdersSite specific guideline • Training as appropriate

  32. Phase 3: Evaluation and Dissemination • Hand over the building to users • Select agency for upkeep and maintenance of the facilities • Evaluate the impacts of the project with respect to select indicators and make Scenarios for the future based on the project outcomes • Prepare a compendium on the results of the project and dissemination
