Comments on proposal of Malaysia to improve
ASEAN Energy Award System
Proposal 1Good to consider to mention detailed criteria in marking scheme which
are the same as the guideline manual of ASEAN Energy Awards 2017 (Page 8 to16) but the detail score weight should not be fixed so that BOJs can be decided
according to their own expert experiences.

Proposal 2This point is not really necessary because the guideline manual alreadymentioned that maximum score to be set. It also has pros and corns on judging
process and numbers of winners.

Concept to ZEB into ASEAN Energy Award System
 It is a good category to consider and put
under SPECIAL Submission Category.

Eg. Sample Diagram of ZEB

 There needs clarification for score sheet
about summary of Zero Energy Building
definition. Example;

At least 50% Energy saving for suchbuilding according to their own country’s
building standard reference “ Building Envelop
standard and equipment standard of CEC for
Air conditioning, Ventilation,…..” and so on.

3How to promote BEC/ GBC in Myanmar
1.

Survey and establish standard for new and existing buildings to be BEC or GBC according tocountry situation;

Seasons and Weather of the country
SafetyAffordability
Available Construction materials
Rules and Regulations
People Comfortability and Living standard

2.

Cooperation and coordination is really important between ministries and building
association especially for construction and energy efficiency

3.

Seek for international expertise who already has the best practices

4.

Raise public awareness and consultation

5.

More encouragement and incentives programme such as publication in mass media for theeffort or work permit for construction companies, etc.
4Why less entries to AEA
 To compete in AEA, the companies/ business owners need the following factors to be prepared andcompleted;Strong WillingnessWorking team/ Management team and Expertise
Investment and Time
Implementation (manage the energy yearly or building design before construction or retrofit)
Documentation
 Expectations from their side is the benefits in terms of finance, business penetration and company
reputation as the last. But even when they became winners for AEA, their expectations were not fulfilled
and not much satisfied. That’s from one case study survey by me.
 According to current country situation, most of the companies are facing many challenges to survive
their own business because most of them are SMEs. So, lack of knowledge for energy efficiency benefits
or couldn’t care to pay for energy cost to compare with other cost or for many reasons, the programme
couldn’t attract for most of them.
5How to promote this situation
 National Awarding system has to be established along with theencouragement and incentives programme for them such as; Establish the fund for recognition the entries and the winners
 Publication for company’s reputation such as top ten announcement innewspaper or Ministry website
 Educate the businesses for energy saving benefits in terms of financial profit
focus More Pilot Programmes or projects to be implemented and morecoordination
 Electricity Tariff system to be improved for commercial and establish feed-in
tariff system
