Terms of Reference for Higher Education Institution(s) on the Enhancement of Low-Carbon Building (LCB) Curriculum in University Syllabus in Indonesia
The Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) project funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) under the International Climate Initiative (IKI), seeks to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by catalysing nationwide transitions towards low carbon buildings in 5 pilot countries (Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam) for a duration of 5 years (2023–2028).
The project implementation is led by GGGI together with consortium partners ACE, HEAT GmbH and Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). The ALCBT project targets policy makers, industry professionals, financial institutions, and academia as beneficiaries to advance a low-carbon building transition with four key outputs:
- Standardised tools for managing carbon emissions from buildings.
- Enhanced capacity of key industry stakeholders to deliver low-carbon buildings.
- Established pipeline to facilitate low-carbon building project financing.
- Published knowledge products to support replication and scaling up.
Under Output II, the ALCBT project aims to strengthen technical expertise and equip young professionals with the required knowledge and skills to deliver low-carbon buildings. To effectively integrate low-carbon building modules, ACE and HEAT GmbH will support pilot universities to enhance LCB principles in their academic curriculum. Therefore, ACE is engaging higher-education institutions to deliver the project output, contributing to long-term workforce readiness and alignment with ASEAN’s decarbonisation goals.
This call aims to prepare graduates with competencies that align with national strategies by facilitating the enhancement of Low-Building (LCB) curriculum in university syllabus. Grants will be awarded to up to four (4) higher education institutions in Indonesia to:
- Assess institutional readiness and gap assessments.
- Enhance LCB curriculum at university-level programme.
- Launch LCB Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).
- Establish monitoring, reporting, and scalability mechanisms
In line with ASEAN’s commitment to a just and inclusive energy transition and the ACE Inclusivity Pledge, the assignment will be implemented in accordance with Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) principles. Higher educational institutions are expected to apply inclusive and respectful professional conduct in all interactions and to support inclusive participation in all activities associated with the assignment.
