1 INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT PROCUREMENT NOTICE Country: MALAYSIA Description of the assignment: Component Consultant (CC) for Component 4: Information and Awareness Enhancement (Malaysians only) Project name: Building Sector Energy Efficiency Project (BSEEP) Period of assignment/services (if applicable): 10 man-months, based at the Environment and Energy Branch of Public Works Department (JKR-CAST) Proposal should be submitted by to no later than 13 Jan 2012, 5pm Any request for clarification must be sent in writing, or by standard electronic communication to the address or indicated above. UNDP will respond in writing or by standard electronic mail and will send written copies of the response, including an explanation of the query without identifying the source of inquiry, to all consultants. 1. BACKGROUND Building Sector Energy Efficiency Project (BSEEP) has for its goal the reduction in the annual growth rate of GHG emissions from the Malaysia buildings sector. The project objective is the improvement of the energy utilization efficiency in Malaysian buildings, particularly those in the commercial and government sectors, by promoting the energy conserving design of new buildings and by improving the energy utilization efficiency in the operation of existing buildings. The realization of this objective will be facilitated through the removal of barriers to the uptake of building energy efficiency technologies, systems, and practices. In general, EE is not fully employed in the design, operation and maintenance of buildings and building services in the country. The main reason for this is the existence of various barriers which include: (1) Institutional barriers (e.g., lack of national institutional framework to implement EE application in buildings); (2) Policy and Regulatory barriers (e.g., inadequate enforcement of building EE policies; lack of policies regarding incentives for EE building technology applications, nonmandatory compliance to the building EE requirements stipulated in the UBBL); (3) Financial barriers (e.g., high cost of building EE technologies and building materials; and, lack of financing

2 schemes to finance building EE projects); (4) Information and awareness barriers (e.g., low level of awareness about building EE applications; and, lack of information on the costs and benefits of building EE applications; and, (5) Technical barriers (e.g., lack of technical expertise in EE building architectural design and in the utilization of EE technologies; limited experience with the technical, economic and environmental aspects of EE buildings; and, lack of experience in incorporating measures and technologies to improve the energy utilization efficiency in new and existing buildings. To address the barriers in Component 4: Information and Awareness Enhancement, UNDP seeks to engage a Component Consultant (CC) who understands the above context and to assist the Component Manager (CM) cum Lead Consultant in producing the outputs and fulfilling the below criteria. 2. DELIVERABLES & TIMELINE, SCOPE OF WORK, AND DURATION For detailed information, please refer to Annex 1 Terms of Reference 3.
