Road Map according to BEC
1. Enforcement of the
Ministerial Regulation

2. Supporting new energy
conservation building

3. Zero Energy Building• Enforcement BEC standard• Development of BEC auditor
training• Tightening BEC standard• Energy building labels• Financial incentives, forexample government funds
or low interest personal loans• Study green building design,
economic value and theclimate change of Thailand• Zero Energy Building Plan

 9 types of new buildings
 To support the new projects

BEC Center “Coordinating Center of Energy Conservation Building Design”
Since 2010••

To provide information to any government sectors, state enterprises, or projectstakeholders regarding the evaluation procedures of building plans for energy
conservation as required by the Ministerial Regulation
To create collaborative networks between the government and private sectors
in order to lay the foundation of energy conservation building design

Evaluation of energy conservation building(2009 – 2015 = 426 building drawing plans)

BEC’s auditor training 1,800 persons(Architect, Engineer and Building Owner etc.)

MOU municipalities and universities(Bangkok, Chiangmai, Pattaya etc.) (KU, TU, CMU, KMITL etc.)

Private network and professional associations(Engineering institute, Siamese Architects) (SCG, SANSIRI, LPN)

Develop of prototypes for standard government
conservation building drawing plans20
