Course Description
Led by Mr. Katsuhiko Yamamoto, this course presents Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) as a practical, step-by-step journey rather than a one-time achievement. It demonstrates how organizations can adopt solutions tailored to their own context while integrating technology, building design, operations, and policy to create sustainable and energy-efficient buildings across ASEAN. Through real-world case studies from Japan, ASEAN, and Vietnam, participants will gain practical insights into successful ZEB implementation and lessons that can be adapted to their own projects.
