On Thursday, August 28, the ZEB Solutions Working Group of JASE-W had a ZEB workshop in Brunei Darussalam co-hosted with a Ministry of Energy and Primary Resources, Brunei
Brunei is a country blessed with abundant natural resources, yet raising awareness about energy consumption remains a challenge. To ensure the nation's sustainable future, promoting “ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building)” that contributes to energy conservation under the leadership of the Brunei government is essential. This workshop was held to advance this initiative.
The event commenced with opening remarks from the Brunei Energy Department and Japan's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy（ANRE), Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry（METI). Following an overview of the Brunei government's current status and policy direction, the ZEB solutions WG of JASE-W presented Japan's advanced ZEB policies, the energy simulation technology “WEBPRO,” and the world-leading energy-saving technologies from AGC Inc. and Sanken Setsubi Kogyo Co., Ltd.
Participants gathered from various ministries and agencies in Brunei listened attentively, leading to a lively and active Q&A session.
This workshop was not merely a technical presentation; it marked the first step in building a cooperative relationship between the Brunei government and JASE-W toward the development of zero-energy buildings in Brunei.
