Request for proposals for Technical Advisory Support for a Construction Project to Obtain Green Building Certification under the ALCBT Project in Cambodia Title : Technical Advisory Support for a Construction Project to Obtain Green Building Certification under the ALCBT Project in Cambodia Reference : 100015980A Process : RFP Description : GGGI Cambodia is inviting eligible consulting firms to submit their proposals for the following scope of work: PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) is a five-year (2023-2028) project being implemented in five Asian countries Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, with financial support from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) of Germany under the International Climate Initiative (IKI). GGGI is implementing the project through a consortium comprising of HEAT International, the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), and the Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). In Cambodia, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) is the government counterpart for project implementation. The ALCBT project seeks to significantly reduce GHG emissions by catalysing nationwide transitions towards low-carbon buildings in Cambodia. Technical, planning, and institutional tools for low-carbon buildings will be developed and successfully implemented by key public and private sector stakeholders (including ministries, subnational administrative, developers, building owners, suppliers, engineers, and architects; multilateral and bilateral development institutes, financial services institutions such as ESCOs and banks; academia and training institutes) by the mid of 2028 (Outcome). The result will be achieved through the development of standardized tools and systems for managing carbon emissions from the building sector and piloting them in project countries (Output I); enhancement of capacity for current and future building industry practitioners (Output II); and establishment of financial pathways for low carbon buildings (Output III). Additionally, project knowledge and tools will be accessible online and promoted systematically to stakeholders in project countries, across ASEAN and globally to create market demand, promote replication and scaling up of approach (Output IV). During 20242025, ALCBT completed preliminary building stock data for 1,236 buildings and 250 deep-dive assessments in Phnom Penh and Kandal Province.

Following a competitive and transparent screening process, including internal due diligence and assessment of eligibility, technical readiness, and alignment with programme objectives, ISI Land was selected to receive technical support under the ALCBT framework for advancing green building development and investment mobilization in Cambodia. ISI Land intends to access green financing to support the development of its project, and as a prerequisite for eligibility under prevailing green financing criteria and the Cambodia Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, developers are required to obtain internationally recognized green building certifications such as EDGE, LEED, or equivalent for new construction projects.
