Background
On March 3, 2026, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) led a consultation meeting on preparing a technical framework roadmap aimed at improving energy efficiency in buildings. The meeting was chaired by H.E. Secretary of State Ros Salin, Head of the Ministry’s Policy and Strategy Working Group.
Scope of Application
The framework preparation involves coordination among various government ministries including the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Mines and Energy, Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, as well as partner organizations like the UNESCAP Energy Lap CARB and the Cambodia Institute of Technology. The initiative targets the energy efficiency performance of buildings in Cambodia.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The meeting focused on organizing technical procedures and drafting a roadmap to efficiently regulate and promote energy-saving measures in building construction and infrastructure. The collaborative approach aims to define clear technical standards and practices aligned with sustainable energy policies.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
The developing framework is expected to provide structured guidelines for developers and construction businesses, enabling compliance with future energy efficiency requirements. This sets a foundation for long-term improvements in energy management within Cambodia’s real estate and construction sectors and may influence building standards, operation, and investment decisions.
