Support for further improvement of energy efficiency in Azerbaijan
Project Description
The President of the Republic of Azerbaijan tasked by Decree the Cabinet of Ministers to prepare and submit to the President a number of standards and rules to ensure the implementation of certain articles of the law. Those include: a) minimum energy efficiency building standards b) rules for certification c) rules for labelling d) eco-design requirements.
The given project supports the Government of Azerbaijan in implementation and enforcement of those areas, such as in promoting energy audit schemes and buildings certification. The project also utilises public financing instruments. Specific Objective
• Establish and enforce a regulatory framework for energy efficiency certification of new and existing buildings
• Increasing capacity of potential energy auditors in basic methods and requirements for energy audits of buildings
• Increasing awareness on energy efficiency amongst different target groupsExpected Results
- Minimum energy efficiency norms for buildings
- Rules for energy efficiency certification of buildings
- Regulation setting the requirements for ecodesign and the same for energy labelling of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, household ovens and lamps
The following four training sessions will be organised:
• EU and international EU and best international requirements and standards for EE in buildings
• Energy efficiency assessment and certification practices in use in the EU
• Ecodesign, energy labelling, including introduction to market surveillance and compliance needs
• Training of trainers – energy certifiers for buildings
• Various awareness raising activities will be conducted and promotional material related to the project and EE produced.Project documents
