“…Pajek and Kosir (2021) argued that increasing the efficiency of energy systems is a way to reduce energy consumption and environmental costs and also a means to achieve resilient energy security. In line with the aforementioned studies, Wu et al (2012), Liimatainen et al (2014), Vieira et al (2018) and Mostafavi et al (2021) have demonstrated the significant positive role of energy efficiency in promoting CO 2 mitigation. However, a major problem in increasing energy efficiency in a large group of countries, especially in developed countries, is the lack of sufficient capital to invest in energy efficiency projects.…”

PurposeThe need to improve energy efficiency as an essential factor for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through green financing is one of the most important issues worldwide. It is even more important for ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries because of their potential for economic growth and the challenge of their environmental problems. This paper therefore addresses the question of whether and how green finance (with the proxy of issued green bonds [GBs]) promotes energy efficiency (with the proxy of energy intensity) in the ASEAN member countries.Design/methodology/approachThe paper runs a two-stage generalized method of moments (GMM) system model for the quarterly data over the period 2017–2020. It also uses a linear interaction model to explore how the pandemic may affect the relationship between green finance and energy efficiency in this region.FindingsThe main results only demonstrate the short-term negative impact of GBs on energy intensity. Furthermore, per capita income, economic integration and renewable energy supply can be used as potential variables to reduce energy intensity, while modernization in ASEAN increases energy intensity. Establishment of digital green finance, long-term planning of a green finance market, trade liberalization and policies to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 are recommended as golden policy implications.Research limitations/implicationsThe present study has several limitations. First, it accounts for explanatory variables by following a number of previous studies. This may lead to omissions or errors. Second, the empirical estimates were conducted for 160 observations due to the repositioning of GBs in ASEAN, which is not bad but not good for an empirical study.Originality/valueTo the best of authors' knowledge, there has not been any in-depth study focusing on the relationship between energy efficiency and green financing for the case of ASEAN economies.

“…In 2019 it was estimated that buildings consume 30-40% of global energy production and emit 38% of global energy-related CO2 emission [1,2]. However, though energy consumption is common to all industrial, commercial, residential, and governmental buildings, the energy demands of each type vary differently, both throughout the day and throughout the year.…”

“…Wu, shen et al (2019) used the STIRPAT model and found that the impact of population size, per capita GDP, energy intensity, and industrial structure on carbon emissions were heterogeneous among regions [17]. Mostafavi, Tahsildoost et al concluded that strengthening the design parameters of envelope structure, optimizing the layout, and utilizing natural ventilation are conducive to reducing energy consumption of high-rises [18]. Tan, Lai, Gu, Zeng, & Li constructed a carbon emission prediction model including population, urbanization rate, and urban building area [19].…”

The rapid development of public buildings has greatly increased the country’s energy consumption and carbon emissions. Excessive carbon emissions contribute to global warming. This paper aims to measure the carbon emissions in the operation of public buildings, and to identify the multiple influencing factors of carbon emissions in operational public buildings. First, the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of carbon emissions from public buildings in 30 provinces of China from 2008–2019 are analyzed. Second, a green building index is constructed, and the STIRPAT (Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology) model is utilized to explore the relationship between each influencing factor and carbon emissions, using spatial and temporal geographically weighted regression analysis. The results show that the effects of population, urbanization rate, GDP per capita, green building index, and industrial structure on carbon emissions from public buildings all show spatial correlation and differences. There are east-west differences in the operational carbon emissions of public buildings in China’s provinces. Cluster evolution shows a spatially increasing trend from west to east. To some extent, policymakers can develop appropriate policies for different provinces through the findings.
