520 _aIn 2005, the building sector accounted for around 20 per cent of total CO₂ emission in Thailand; of which, 70 per cent came from the residential sector. With the population expected to increase, couple with economic growth that comes with a desire to improve one's standard of living, there are reasons to believe that the residential sector' will becoming increasingly recognized as the main source of CO₂ emission. Yet, efforts to explore long-term potential of C0₂ mitigating measures in this sector have been limited. This study analyses the implications of three broad categories of emission reduction technical measures: (1) improvement in building insulation, (2) implementation of energy efficient appliances, and (3) installation of low- and zero-carbon technologies. A number of questionnaire samples were conducted in Bangkok to complement available secondary data used, in the development of a physically based bottom-up model, representing the energy demand of Thailand's urban housing stock. Calculation of cooling loads through the use of Carrier's HAP E20-II was made to demonstrate variations of space cooling demand according to different categories of dwellings. MARKAL based energy system model of Thailand has been restructured to integrate these data and was used to assess these measures in terms of CO₂ reduction potential, energy system cost and energy resource mix during 2005-2050. Three emission reduction target scenarios were made for comparative analysis with the business-as-usual scenario. In addition, the study argues that by giving monetary values/costs to CO₂ emission, the carbon reduction benefits may become more evident as well as justified. Such approach was made through implementation of tax scheme on CO₂ emission
