Improving the Energy Efficiency of Municipal Heating and Hot Water Supply, Armenia, 2008 – 2009
The goal of this program was to improve the Energy Efficiency of Municipal Heating and Hot Water Supply in Armenia. Dr. Lari was responsible for building the Energy Efficiency policy and capacity review with reference to European EE policy development. He did an analysis of building energy auditing and certification options for Armenia, drafted a national energy passport implementation plan for residential building.
The stated objective of the project is to lay the foundation for the sustainable development of heat and hot water supply services in Armenian cities, with special attention to the energy efficiency improvement and GHG emissions reduction aspects.
To support the rehabilitation of energy efficient heat supply systems and their further stable and continuous exploitation/operation are among the Project’s main goals. On the other hand the energy audit and energy passports of multi-apartment buildings are important for ensuring the energy efficient performance of the buildings as well as are instruments for proper operation and maintenance of the buildings and their engineering communications. At present there are no energy efficiency performance requirements for the multi-apartment buildings and established energy audit procedures in the country.
