Health Costs of Air Pollution

Asia1

• An estimated 487,000 premature deaths occur each year due to outdoor air pollution.

China2

• Environmental and health costs of air pollution in China is about 7 % of GDP [budget deficit in 2003 = 3.3% of GDP]5

• Estimates shows that these costs could rise to 13% of China’s GDP by 2020

Bangkok• Health cost of air pollution • $640 million• $800 million by 2020

• 2004 projected to be the 5th consecutive year in which the harvest falls short of consumption

• 63% of population in Asia without access to clean water

Demonstration Projects

First Expert group meeting; 13 September 2005

3 groups were formed, and each of them are bringing out a white paper on it.

Demonstration Project: Increasing Interest

• Several countries have expressed interest in participating in the demonstration project

• The Thai Cabinet recently approved a project for an eco-city, as a joint venture between the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry and UNEP.

• The Government of Maldives has also expressed interest for constructing an eco-house.

Demonstration Project: Objectives

General Objective:promote eco-friendly buildings in the Asia Pacific region.

Specific Objectives:1. demonstrate the suitability and technological

feasibility.

2. create awareness about the sustainability of eco-friendly buildings, leading to their wider acceptance and use.

Demonstration Project: Scope

i) Regional expert group

ii) Develop generic designs for the different climatic zone and economic groups

iii) Assist in constituting a National Task Force (NTF)

iv) Design tailored to each of the selected countries

v) Enhance the capacity of national technical committee

vi) Assist in the construction in selected countries

vii) Facilitate wider dissemination of the demonstrated concept

viii) Promotion in other countries of the region

Technical input

Actual construction

•The project will be implemented in full ownership of governments, and in collaboration with the private sector and expert institutions.

•Development of win-win partnership (public-private partnerships) eg: manufacturers of solar panel.

•Governments will provide land, and other facility to enable the demonstration.

Demonstration Project: Implementation Schedule

• Prepare generic designs of eco-friendly house specific to different climatic zone and economic group

• Identify the sites

• Resource mobilization

• Identiy National Implementing Agencies (NIA) and form National Task Force (NTF)- 2005, 2nd quarter

• Development of site specific design

• Conduct national workshop/training to review the site specific design with local stakeholders

• Identify architects/builders for construction

• Identify local stakeholders/ worksmen, interested

Schedule for 2005

Demonstration Project: Implementation Schedule

• Conduct training programme for the local stakeholders/ worksmen

• Implement the demonstration project

Schedule for 2007• Evaluate the impacts of the project with respect to select indicators and

make Scenarios for the future based on the project outcomes

• Prepare a compendium on the results of the project

• Information Dissemination of the outcome of the project

Schedule for 2006

This workshop: Design for Eco-house

• Assumptions Used For Design .• Plan & Elevation View of the Eco-House with dimensions, orientation

• Type of assemblies for foundation, floor, wall, roof, window

• Estimated Building Material Consumption : Cement, Steel, Lumber, Paint, Flooring etc

• Estimated Average Annual Energy & Water Consumption of the eco-house

• Technologies/Materials/techniques used for improving Indoor Environmental Quality, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency & Resource Efficiency. Indicate their rating, quantity, expected life, rough initial investment cost & average operation and maintenance cost.

• Rough Estimate of (1) total investment required & (2) average annual operation & maintenance cost

This workshop: Design for Eco-cities/village

• Assumptions Used For Design

• Layout of the City/Village(Houses, Facilities, Roads)

• List of the facilities in the City/Village, with their dimensions/ratings, numbers, material requirements, rated energy consumption, rated water consumption, approximate investment required , average annual operation & maintenance cost

• Rough Estimate of (1) total investment required & (2) average annual operation & maintenance cost

• Implementation plan for the demonstration project

This workshop: Information and need

• Information Requirements for completing the design If any information is required from the different countries for

the completion of the design, please mention them. These could be communicated to the National Implementing Agencies.

• Suggestions for the conduct of the inception workshops/training at the national level

Programme, probable stakeholders/participants, duration etc
