Build Better Jamaica The Net Zero Energy Building Project

Build Better Jamaica

The Institute of Sustainable Development (ISD) at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus, with global partners and local stakeholders, has embarked on a pioneering project to construct the island’s first Net Zero Energy Building. The main objective of the project, initiated with the financial support of the Global Environment Facility and the technical assistance of the United Nation

s Environment Programme (UNEP), is to research and develop practical working solutions that will transform building policies and practices. It is expected that the implementation of appropriate regulatory and technical tools will mainstream the lessons and transform the opportunities for promoting energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy sources. The Net Zero Energy Building Project follows on from a previous project implemented by ISD, "Developing Design Concepts for Climate Change Resilient Buildings" (Build Better Jamaica Phase 1) which was sponsored by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and by UWI. The goal of Phase 1 was to promote sustainability and climate change resilient buildings in the Caribbean.
