Tóm tắt

Residential buildings make up a significant proportion of total buildings in Jordan and is the fastest growing subset. The sector dominates electricity use, accounting for 46 percent of total electricity consumption. Reducing this demand through energy efficiency is critical to Jordan being able to meet its carbon reduction commitments. In the wake of Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), economic stimulus has become a priority for governments around the world. Residential energy efficiency retrofit provides a solution that acts on both climate and economy. It is labor intensive, creating a large number of skilled and semi-skilled jobs to improve the quality of residences and provide dwellings that are comfortable and less expensive to inhabit. This document provides a high-level summary of the rationale for, and design of, a proposal for a residential energy efficiency retrofit program and certification scheme in Jordan.
