Great to hear from Garima Nakarmi on how she has transformed the learnings from BEEN’s training on energy efficeint building design into real practice to bring positive changes on Nepal's building sector.

Great job Garima, and keep going!

Join this insightful webinar to explore how circular approaches in the building sector can improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impacts and create more resilient & affordable housing across Asia.

We are pleased to share that our CEO, Usha Maskey, will be joining the panel discussion to share Nepal's experiences and perspectives on advancing circular and energy-efficient buildings.
We encourage you to join the session and be part of the conversation.

How can circular building solutions help shape more resilient, affordable and sustainable homes in Asia?

Join us on 🗓️ 2 July 2026 ⌚️ 14:00–16:00 (Bangkok time), for a learning session exploring how circular economy practices can support affordable housing, reduce lifecycle costs, strengthen climate resilience and advance more inclusive housing policies.

Co-organised by Habitat for Humanity Asia-Pacific and EU SWITCH-Asia Programme, the session will connect practical field solutions, from low-carbon materials to enabling standards and financing, with policy pathways for sustainable homes.

Solar Water Minigrid - Reshaping Nepal's Solar Irrigation Plants ☀️💧🌱
Difference?
Instead of traditional open canals, water is distributed through a pressurized pipe network thus significantly reducing water losses and enabling the same system to irrigate more land and generate greater income.
A metering system where farmers pay per volume of water use, not per time. This means more equity and fairness for smallholder farmers.

It was great sharing insights on the benefits of Energy Efficient building with the Nepalese Private Sector last week. Hoping for a transition to a sustainable and resilient built environment in Nepal. Thanks to for a great event!

Dhangadhi is one of Nepal's hottest cities.🔥
We are designing public infrastructures to make it heat-resilient thus protecting health, improving energy efficiency, and keeping vulnerable communities safe.
Conceptual design is locked. Detailed design is next!
