A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM project
Low carbon hotel project in Vietnam: Improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings
by utilization of high efficiency equipment
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The proposed JCM project aims to reduce CO2 emissions in Vietnam by introducing multiple
energy efficiency measures to existing commercial buildings. This project involves installationof energy efficiency measures at two project sites, Hotel Nikko Hanoi [Location 1], andRenaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City [Location 2].
The energy efficiency measures to be installed at two project sites are described as follows:
Project Site

Energy efficiency measures[Location 1]

・a high efficiency boiler

Hotel Nikko Hanoi

・a heat recovery heat pump・LED lamps[Location 2]

・a high efficiency boiler

Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon
High efficiency equipment installed by the proposed project is supplied by leading energy
efficient equipment manufacturers, such as oil fired boilers from Miura, heat recovery
heat-pump from Mayekawa Manufacturing Company, and LED lamps from Panasonic.
In addition to the high efficiency equipment installed by the proposed project, Hibiya
Engineering Ltd., a Japanese engineering company, has designed the building energy
management system suitable in Vietnam (V-BEMS) to optimize the operation of the highefficiency equipment introduced by the proposed project. Although the energy efficiency effectof V-BEMS is not counted for the emission reduction calculation under the applied JCM
methodology, introduction of V-BEMS through the JCM project will further enhance efficientenergy use at commercial buildings in Vietnam.
Consequently, the proposed project will improve the energy efficiency at the two hotels,
resulting in the emission reduction of 289 ton CO2 annually.

A.6. Contribution from developed countries
The proposed project receives financial support from the government of Japan. The project
has been selected as one of the JCM demonstration projects by the New Energy and IndustrialTechnology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan's largest public management
organization promoting research and development. As a result of the financial support providedby NEDO's program, implementation cost of the proposed project will be partially provided byJapanese government. Further, implementation of the proposed project promotes technology
transfer of low carbon technologies in Vietnam. Through the NEDO program, operation of thehigh efficiency equipment will be monitored for a period set by the NEDO program. During
this monitoring period, knowhow transfer to the operators in Vietnam for the optimum operationand utilization of the equipment is expected.

E. Local stakeholder consultationE.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
The project activity, installation of new high efficiency boilers, heat pump, and replacement ofexisting lighting by high efficiency LED lamps, will benefit the two hotels hosting the projectby satisfying their heating and lighting demand with less energy consumption. As such a natureof the project activity, the direct stakeholders of the project activity are the hotels where theproject activities are located.

Since early stage of the project development, the project

participants communicated closely with the hotels hosting the project. Face-to-face interviews
with the facility management representatives have been conducted frequently. Benefits of the
proposed project, such as energy saving and financial assistance, and carbon emission
reduction, are recognized, and no negative comment toward the proposed project was provided
from hotels. Both hotels showed their support toward the proposed project, and they haverequested prompt project implementation.
In the course of project development as one of NEDO's demonstration projects, through which
the partial financial support from Japanese government is provided, there have been
opportunities to invite comments from governmental authorities, such as Ministry of Natural
Resources and Environment (MONRE), about the project. Project participants organized abriefing session for the project and invited stakeholders as follows:[Date / Time] 17th September 2014 / 15:00-16:30[Venue] Meeting Room at Hotel Nikko Hanoi[Agencies participated in the consultation]
・Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE)
・Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)
・Department of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change (DMHCC)
・Institute for Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change (IMHEN)
Comments received from the sequence of communication with the local stakeholders weresummarized in the following section E.2. below. No negative opinions towards the project
were received. Most comments showed high expectation toward the energy saving effectthrough the project.
