Welcome to the first edition of AGEP Newsletter in 2018 and a belated Happy New Lunar Year to those who celebrate! We started the year by strengthening our cooperation as a team through a fun teambuilding day. We released two (2) publications last month; Recommendation Report: Technical Requirements for Renewable Energy Generation Connected to the Distribution Grids and Study on Regional Renewable Energy Cooperation in ASEAN. We are also preparing some studies on green building codes (GBC) in ASEAN. We hope that the results; GBC mapping in ASEAN, technical and policy recommendations, as well as minimum technical requirements would be useful to all related stakeholders, which will assist in the regional effort to reduce energy intensity from the building sector.
