1) Background
I) Energy Efficiency in Buildings
Giving the great potential of energy efficiency in buildings in reducing energy consumption, improving energy access and ensuring energy security in Nigeria, the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) in its first phase (March 2013 – February 2018) conducted a baseline study on energy efficiency in buildings in Nigeria which played a role in defining core strategies in promoting energy efficiency in buildings. NESP supported with the following:
a) Building Energy Efficiency Code (BEEC): The implementation of the strategies mentioned above, led to the development of the Building Energy Efficiency Guideline (BEEG) for Nigeria, which provides information to building sector professionals on how to design and construct energy efficient buildings. The BEEG set the basis for the development of the BEEC. NESP supported the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH) in developing the BEEC which provides building sector professionals with minimum energy requirements for new residential and office buildings in Nigeria. The code which was launched in August 2017 focuses on low cost minimum energy efficiency requirements and addresses parts of the building such as, the building envelope, window to wall ratio, roof insulation, energy efficient lighting and air conditioning. The code consists inter alia of the following elements:
— minimum energy efficiency requirements and verification methods,
— calculation methods and tools,
— building energy label and energy efficiency incentives,,
— control and enforcement, qualification of experts and review and adaptation.
b) Energy Audit in the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH): NESP supported the FMPWH to conduct an energy audit on the Ministry’s building. The recommendations of the audit carried out are currently been implemented in the building. This shows the government’s commitment in promoting EE in buildings and has the potential of promoting market development of energy efficiency products and services.
In its second phase, NESP intends to support at least three (3) and a maximum of five (5) states to ensure that they are able to adopt the recommendations of the code to the design and construction of new buildings. In addition, more energy audits of public buildings will be carried out by local energy auditors and managers who will be trained with support from NESP.
II) Standards for Air conditioners
NESP in its first phase supported the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to develop and implement Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for air conditioners and a national energy efficiency label for household electrical appliances and equipment. Support towards the development of additional standards will also be provided in the second phase of the programme.
2) Description of the assignment
NESP is looking for a multi-disciplinary team of international consultants to provide support to selected states in the adoption and implementation of the Nigerian Building Energy Efficiency Code (BEEC) including training and energy auditing of public buildings.
The Consultants will support NESP in providing advice to its partners – including, but not limited to FMPWH (Housing sector), the state agencies responsible for building plan approvals, professionals in the construction Industry (e.g. architects, engineers etc.)
The period of the assignment will be 16,7 months, within the period October 2018 to November 2020. The number of person days estimated for the assignment is 500, out of which 165 are field days.
