The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), under the Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) Project, convened a three-day Energy Manager Training for Commercial Buildings on 9–11 June 2026 at Hotel Gren Alia Cikini, Jakarta. The training is facilitated and organised by LPK AP Skill Building as the training provider.
The training aimed to strengthening the technical capacity of energy user from private sector by bringing together 41 professionals from high-energy-consuming commercial buildings, including hospitals, hotels, apartments, and office buildings. Participants included facility managers, chief engineers, engineering managers, and energy management professionals who are directly involved in improving energy performance and implementing energy management practices in their respective buildings.

The session opened with remarks from Rizky Aditya Putra, Project Manager of ALCBT at ACE, emphasised that implementation of energy management in commercial building sector plays an important role in achieving regional aspirational target of 40% energy intensity reduction by 2030 under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026–2030, especially in accelerating transition towards low-carbon and zero energy buildings.
Endra Dedy Tamtama, Energy Conservation Monitoring Coordinator, Directorate of Energy Conservation, Directorate General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Indonesia highlighted that energy efficiency and energy management are key contributors to Indonesia’s emission reduction agenda, highlighting country’s commitment in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89% through national efforts and 43.20% with international support by 2030.

Throughout the training, participants joined a series of technical sessions covering low carbon building modules on climate change and low-carbon transition, building energy efficiency fundamentals, low-carbon building assessment, financial instruments and market mechanisms, and practical energy efficiency applications in existing buildings. The sessions were delivered by master trainers who introduced key concepts and facilitated interactive discussion, connecting the training modules with real operational challenges faced by building or facility managers.

On the second day, representative from MEMR explained the regulatory framework on energy management implementation in the building sector under PP No. 33/2023 and MEMR Regulation No. 8/2025. The training continued with technical sessions on the implementation of Energy Management Systems for building infrastructure, anchored to the Indonesian National Working Competency Standards for Energy Managers. Participants shared practical experiences, operational challenges, and potential implementation from their respective buildings, enabling peer-to-peer learning and discussion on the application of energy management principles.

On the final day, the training continued with sessions on system evaluation and continuous improvement. Participants were introduced to technical methodologies for conducting energy performance evaluations, assessing the effectiveness of energy management systems, and identifying corrective actions to support continuous improvement in building operations. Endra Dedy Tamtama and Radityo C. Yudanto from MEMR then guided participants through the digital reporting process using the Pelaporan Online Manajemen Energi (POME) platform. The session highlighted the contribution of private-sector buildings to national energy conservation monitoring and regulatory compliance.

Upon completion of the training, participants were offered an advocacy session to further support the enhancement of energy management implementation. ACE, through the ALCBT Project, also provides technical assistance that support the development of bankable energy efficiency project pipeline and implementation, including, but not limited to, through energy audits, green building certification assessment, and sustainable finance verification study.

About ALCBT
The Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) Project is a five-year multi-stakeholder project that seeks to reduce GHG emissions by catalysing nationwide transition towards Low Carbon Buildings in five Asian countries, namely Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam.
The ALCBT project is being implemented by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is partnership with the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), and HEAT International. This project is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Government of Germany. Within the Federal Government, the IKI is anchored in the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).
