What are Smart Facilities?
Initially launched in 2016 to enhance UNDP premises, the UNDP Smart Facilities initiative integrates technological innovations and renewable energy solutions into physical infrastructure. Now expanded to offer tailored solutions to UN agencies, governments, and partners globally, UNDP is helping deliver resilient, cost-efficient and sustainable facilities, from UN buildings to local health infrastructure.
Our approach"Smart" in this context refers to a holistic approach that combines cutting-edge energy, connectivity, data and security technologies to optimize efficiency and sustainability. |  |

UNDP 7-Step Process for smart and green energy solutions implementation
UNDP’s 7-Step methodology, recognized by the UN System as best practice, is the standard Smart Facilities design and implementation process. It guides each step from project inception to post completion monitoring, ensuring a well-defined business case, comprehensive deployment, and emphasis on strong adoption.
