UNDP experts familiarized the training participants with benefits of passive heating/cooling techniques, which are associated with much lower greenhouse gases emissions, as well as with solar radiation calculation free software tools. The training also highlighted the role of BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies in improving and ensuring transparency of design and construction processes.  Additionally, the Green Investment Financial Support Mechanism (FSM) was presented in detail and discussed with the training participants emphasizing on the energy-efficiency issue – isolation tools and materials and their importance in the construction. The event was attended by about 250 specialists, professors and students.

The UNDP/GEF project has been implemented since 2017. A significant milestone of the project is the developed standard designs of 24 types of energy efficient buildings, which boosted mass construction of energy efficient and low carbon housing all across the country. Additionally the project has provided financial and technical assistance for the construction of 1358 energy efficient and low carbon houses and apartments. One of the significant results of the project was also the revision of a number of building codes and regulations from the point of view of energy efficiency.
