Assignment Overview

Assignment Title: A Baseline and Monitoring Methodology for New Residential Buildings End-Use EE Carbon Finance Programs and the design document

Assignment Country: World

Assignment Description

The World Bank Carbon Finance Unit (CFU) and Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) are seeking to contribute to the leveraging of energy efficiency (EE) projects in Client Countries through carbon finance. The World Bank is seeking a consultant (team of consultants) to develop a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Methodology which will include generic guidance for developing a baseline (and monitoring plan) using a performance-based and ‘whole buildings’ approach which could be used for EE programs targeting new residential buildings through the adoption of and compliance with building energy efficiency codes. Through the work to be commissioned, the World Bank Carbon Finance Unit seeks to contribute to robust, clear and practical guidance/protocols for the setting of baselines, calculation/modeling of the anticipated project emissions, monitoring and verification for the energy efficiency improvements of new residential buildings that both (i) meet the environmental integrity requirements of the CDM (and any other emission reduction crediting mechanism) through a conservative approach , and (ii) keep associated transaction costs at a manageable level – a key element to overcoming the barriers and unlocking (at least some of) the potential of end-use energy efficiency projects and programs in buildings The scope of the requested work is expected to require more than 1 individual with complementary expertise and skills in the areas of (i) evaluation and monitoring of buildings energy efficiency; and (ii) CDM methodologies, particularly those regarding EE
