About Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN)

The Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) is a globally organised and regionally focused organisation whose mission is to provide policy expertise and technical assistance to advance building energy performance and realise sustainable built environments for all. The GBPN is working to achieve a world in which buildings are a solution to climate change and a source of societal well-being. The GBPN was founded in 2010 with the mandate to advance knowledge and expertise globally on building energy performance and the structure to achieve it. It is coordinated by a global centre based in Paris, and is represented regionally with an office in Beijing, and partner organisations in Brussels, Washington D.C. and Delhi helping achieve the transformational changes required in the building sector to tackle climate change while promoting economic and social well-being. The GBPN has developed extensive partnerships with international organisations, govenerments, industries, research institutes and NGOs. Our project partners also extend our reach to South East Asia, while our experts network includes Latin American and African expertise. The GBPN assists governments and industry policy makers to identify, adapt and implement policy best practices for low-energy, affordable and healthy buildings, contributing to low carbon and resilient cities. Our mission is to provide intelligence to optimize building energy policies and accelerate net zero energy or positive energy for new buildings, deep renovation for existing buildings, and integrated renewables. Our activities include capacity building for implementation, policy analysis and validation, and sharing of knowledge, data and best practices between regions.
