Background

HEAT International is a consortium member of the Asia Low-Carbon Building (ALCBT), a collaborative effort dedicated to development of carbon tools and policies, capacity building on embodied carbon, and the proposal of a taxonomy framework for buildings. Within the scope of the ALCBT project, HEAT plays a pivotal role in facilitating the decarbonization of buildings by providing solutions to reduce both embodied and operational carbon emissions. This is achieved through our approach that enables stakeholders to know their building emissions through comprehensive whole-life carbon assessment tools.

HEAT has successfully launched the Building Emission Assessment Tool (BEAT), which enables accurate calculation of embodied carbon and operational carbon in buildings. This comprehensive tool allows stakeholders to accurately estimate the life cycle carbon footprint of their buildings and is now being deployed through specialised training programs for building sector professionals. In case you want to seek specific information about our work, please refer to the resources below.

Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of building carbon performance is increasingly important as countries seek to translate climate commitments into measurable actions in the building sector. Tools such as the MRV tool developed under the ALCBT project, help quantify both operational and embodied emissions across a building’s life cycle, enabling consistent tracking against national targets. More broadly, MRV provides a standardized, policy-aligned system for measuring, reporting, and verifying building-level results across projects and over time.

This is particularly important in rapidly urbanizing economies, where buildings can lock in long-term emissions. MRV Tool is relevant to various user groups – national/subnational governments, regulators, building developers, financial institutions and researchers – as MRV and policy tracking tool, while developers and professionals use it when they need to report, verify, finance, certify, or comply.

Objectives
To deliver an introductory training on whole-life carbon building stock scenario analysis using the MRV Tool targeting government officials and policymakers.
