About GBPN

The Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) is a globally and regionally focused non-government not‑for‑profit organisation whose mission is to provide policy expertise and technical assistance to advance building energy performance and realise sustainable built environments for all. With team members located around the World in Indonesia, India, Australia, and Europe, GBPN brings over 10 years of knowledge and innovation to sustainable building policy reform. With every project, governments leverage our intellectual capital, our experience, analysis, evidence and our network.

GBPN goal is to contribute to the building sector achieving its full energy savings and CO2 mitigation potential of more than 2.1 Gt by 2030. To do that, GBPN assists governments and industry to implement climate change actions in their building sectors that help achieve their commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Context & Reason for the Hire

Over the past three years, GBPN has experienced rapid organisational growth and expansion of services, particularly in Indonesia and India. There is also the very real issue of time running out. If we are to achieve zero emissions by 2030, incremental change is no longer enough, we need to think and act bigger and faster.

GBPN works using a unique coalition model that connects local policymakers and building professionals with industry-leading experts to reform building policies to achieve zero-emissions goals. We combine global insights with local action changing building policy through education, support and collaboration.

GBPN’s operation in Indonesia started in late 2019 and has continued to grow with the goal to become a trusted partner and thought leader in providing sustainable and innovative solutions to achieve Zero Emission Buildings in Indonesia. We have provided policy and technical assistance to policymakers, private sector, academicians/ researchers and other key stakeholders to support the government in meeting its climate goals through the building sector.

One of the GBPN’s on‑going projects is the Green Finance Accelerator (GFA), that aims to increase the private sector’s uptake and contribution to Zero Emission Buildings (ZEBs) by promoting the design, adoption, and scaling of appropriate green financing instruments that are more suitable for the Indonesian market context. In this regard, one of GFA’s key targets is to review the readiness of potential green investment instruments — such as carbon market, sustainability‑linked‑loans (SLL) and others — in advancing the Green Building sector.

To achieve this, GBPN is seeking a Consultant Firm to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis on economic modelling related to the green building financing in Indonesia. In addition, the Consultant Firm is also expected to provide other support for the GFA project relevant to the above review and analysis work.
