ABSTRACT
The chapter focuses on the methodologies and findings in determining the impact of Building and Construction Improvement Program (BACIP) Energy-Efficient and House Improvement (EE-HI) products on the household fuel requirement reduction and the subsequent reduction in carbon emissions. BACIP works under the patronage of Aga Khan Planning and Building Service, Pakistan. The objective of fuel saving assessment was to visually compare the quantity of firewood used before and after the installation of BACIP EE-HI products. The baseline data was compared with the after-intervention data to see the amount of firewood saved with unit of analysis in tons. The amount of firewood saved was multiplied by carbon fraction of 1.5 to determine the total carbon avoided due to BACIP EE-HI. During the baseline assessment, the actual firewood was also weighed in the sampled households by assessing the actual firewood requirement of the households.
