AUSBCA 2007,continuedCANMNECB1997CANMNECH1997CHNTrainingAre You Missing?The Australian Ministerial Council on Energyalso sponsors training related to the BCA, forexample, on energy rating software and energyrating.The Office of Energy Efficiency and itsstakeholder organizations offer training on howto interpret and apply MNECB.The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs andHousing and its counterparts in other provinceshave hosted training seminars on the buildingenergy code and energy efficiency in houses.There are also specialized courses and onlinemodules on issues like HVAC, buildingenvelope and code updates. 78MOHURD and CABR have organizednumerous training activities during and after therelease of building energy standards.China has also cooperated with other countrieson training courses related to building energycodes. For example, the U.S. Department ofState is sponsoring work by CABR and thePacific Northwest National Laboratory toenhance code implementation through trainingin two Chinese cities.The World Bank has also sponsored training onPublic Informationconstruction sector. The Resource Kits are intended to provideupdated and consistent information on BCA and are also designedto assist with training needs.Natural Resources Council posts training materials and workshopsfor new and existing buildings on its website(http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/)Other information sources: Provincial and municipal governments Canadian Home Builders Association Canadian Association of Home & Property InspectionsThe MOHURD website (http://www.cin.gov.cn/jnjp/) providesupdates on policy developments, regulations and industry news onbuilding energy efficiency.Non-governmental websites (e.g., www.china5e.com) also providepolicy updates and local news related to building energyefficiency.Local government websites also provide code-related information,such as notices for meetings, regulatory changes and permitdocuments.78 For more information, please see the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing website (www.obc.mah.gov.on.ca/site4.aspx) and the BritishColumbia government website (www.bcbuildinginfo.com/display_topic.php?division_id=2&topic_title_id=38&topic_id=165).88
CHN,continuedINDECBCJAPTrainingbuilding code enforcement as part of an energyefficiency project in Tianjin, involving WhiteBox Technologies (a United States firm) andothers.The Bureau of Energy Efficiency is consideringdeveloping code compliance software andtraining programs for code inspectors andenforcers. According to the Bureau of EnergyEfficiency, from 2004-2008, six nationalcertification examinations have beensuccessfully conducted in 23 centers all over thecountry (Chakarvarti, 2008).The USAID-sponsored ECO-III project isdeveloping training modules. It has alsodeveloped courses on building energysimulation.The India Green Buildings Council is alsoconducting training workshops on energymanagement and low-cost energy efficiency inexisting buildings.Institute for Building Environment and EnergyConservation (http://www.ibec.or.jp/) Holds training seminars to supportimplementation of the EnergyConservation Law Includes training on: building design,construction techniques, insulation andperimeter annual load/quantity ofenergy consumed calculation, which actPublic InformationThe ECO-III project is developing an implementation guide to theECBCThe Indo-German Energy Program, a collaboration between theGovernment of India and Germany’s Ministry of EconomicCooperation and Development, also contributes to theimplementation of the Energy Conservation Act of India (2001).The program hosts a website called Energy Manager Training(www.energymanagertraining.com).The website includes information on learning material on energymanagement; case studies/best practices that were undertaken byindustry; energy-efficient equipment with their specifications andinformation on equipment manufacturers/vendor/suppliers; detailsof manufacturers associations/energy audit firms; energy auditguidelines; energy audit instruments; useful websites whereinformation on energy management is available; and energyrelated events (seminars/training programs/conferences/taskforces, etc.).Under the Sustainable Building Reporting System, many citiesprovide tools and information to help improve the energyefficiency of new buildings.Some cities also publish summaries of all new building energysaving plans and some encourage energy efficiency by allowingbuilders to build taller or larger buildings than would be allowedotherwise if the building designs rank high on energy efficiency.89
