As stated by the ADB, the Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Results-Based Lending (EEPB-RBL) will support the Government of the Philippines in implementing the Government Energy Management Programme (GEMP) which requires all government buildings to reduce their monthly energy consumption by at least 10%. This requirement is being enforced under the Philippines Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act. The EEPB-RBL aims to deliver approximately 20-30% energy savings in existing public buildings through the procurement and installation of energy efficient lighting, high efficiency air conditioning, distributed solar photovoltaic modules, smart metering and/or electric vehicle charging stations. The project will focus particularly on existing education and health related buildings. The total project cost is $500 million implemented over a period of five years. The first phase will cover about 100 buildings from 2026-2028 and the second phase will cover about 300 buildings from 2028 to 2031.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB
The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment.
