SEEC launched the Saudi Energy Efficiency Program in 2012The Saudi Energy Efficiency Program(SEEP) SEEP’s scope is focused on demand sideonly with 3 sectors (buildings, transport,and industry) covering 90 % of SaudiArabia’s internal energy consumption SEEP’s objectives are:- To improve Saudi Arabia’s energy efficiencyusing bottom-up designed initiatives and theirenablers- To involve all stakeholders from inception(government, businesses and the public)4
SEEP has mobilized 150 engineers from 20 organizations with a highlevel Executive-committee to steer the effortExecutive-Committee Deputy Minister, Ministry of Commerce & Industry Assistant Deputy Minster, Ministry of Commerce & Industry Deputy Minister, Ministry of Water & Electricity Director General of Quality Assurance, Saudi StandardOrganization Deputy Minister, Ministry of Housing Director General, Saudi Energy Efficiency Center Deputy Minister, Ministry of Transportation Director, Designated National Authority Vice Governor, ECRA Secretary General of Public Investment Fund, Ministry ofFinance Adviser to Minister, Ministry of Municipality & Rural Affairs Executive Vice-President, SABIC Executive Vice President of Distribution and CustomerService, Saudi Electricity Company Chief Engineer, Saudi AramcoTechnical teamsBuildings Members fromSASO, SEEC, SEC,S.

SEEP’s guiding principles and frameworkThere are four guiding principles forSEEP1Purely focused on demand-sidemanagement2Program design does not includeprice reforms3Initiatives designed based on end-userimpact (e.g. payback period)4Energy Efficiency initiatives based onconsensus with government andprivate sector stakeholdersSEEP framework is organized aroundthree sectors and five enablers7

The thermal insulation products standards were updated in line withglobal benchmarksSASO approved 13 insulation standards covering 10 insulationproducts: Extruded Polystyrene Expanded Rigid Polystyrene Spray-applied polyurethane foam Rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) Polyurethane (PUR) Mineral wool Rock wool Cellular glass (CG) Perlite Loose Fill Insulation Vermiculite Loose Fill Insulation SASO is also in the process of developing standards for some secondaryinsulation products17

MoMRA and SEC developed a joint implementation mechanism to ensurethe enforcement of thermal insulation on new buildings Requirements have been revised for new building permits:- A “No Objection Certificate” from SEC- Insulation compliance form jointly signed by the design office and building owner MoMRA issued a penalty mechanism to punish the Design offices who arenot complying with the enforcement of thermal insulation. Three visits from SEC to construction sites to monitor insulationinstallment Violations are reported by SEC and administered by MoMRA MoMRA issues building completion certificate only after clearance from SEC- Connection to power grid is subject to insulation installation19
