Germany is one of the global frontrunners when it comes to energy efficiency in buildings with long-standing experience in research and development of technology and management system in this regards. This trip offered the participants an opportunity to meet with German companies providing technology and services for energy saving in buildings and visit new and retro-fitted buildings where newest solutions of energy efficiency have been implemented.

Furthermore, on 20 June 2013, the Information-Workshop on “Energy Efficiency in Buildings in Thailand” took place in Berlin as part of the trip aiming at sharing ideas and experiences between Thailand and Germany. The workshop highlighted the German innovative energy efficiency-solutions in the building sector (planning, engineering, architecture designing, constructing and technology applications) and the current status of energy efficiency in buildings in Thailand in terms of political framework and initiatives.

This trip was to promote business partnerships and sector-specific network as well as to strengthen cooperation between Thailand and Germany. It served also as the preparation for the AHK-business trip on “Energy Efficiency in Buildings” organized by the German-Thai Chamber of Commerce (GTCC), which will take place on 28 October – 01 November 2013 in Thailand.
