Incentives for Green Retrofit
Are there any government-funded or sponsored schemes for improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings and, broadly, how do they work?

The Government of Malaysia has launched the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), a comprehensive strategic plan that aims to steer the energy systems away from conventional, fossil-fuel-based sources and towards cleaner, more sustainable alternatives, which include the following:

  • Establishing a mandatory national standard that outlines retrofit for existing buildings to meet a minimum building energy intensity level
  • Establishing a public energy service companies platform to coordinate public building retrofits with private energy service companies
  • Launching a major energy efficiency retrofit initiative amongst government buildings
