About this project
Description
The objective of this project is to transform the energy efficiency of heating systems in buildings in Iran, resulting in an invigorated sector in which skilled and well trained engineers fit and retrofit efficient and low carbon heating systems in residences and other buildings, as required by demanding, well enforced building codes - thereby reducing heating bills for residents and national GHG emissions It is envisaged that this will be achieved by (i) reviewing the legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks that impact building efficiency in Iran; revisiting the building code and products standards and labels and developing a supportive cross-sectoral energy efficiency strategy; (ii) piloting installations of energy efficient and renewable energy measures in existing buildings; and (iii) transforming the market by: training manufacturers and building professionals to produce and install energy efficient heating systems; developing a stakeholder awareness-raising campaign and developing proposals for financing mechanisms for households.
Objectives
The capacity to effectively manage a representative protected area system is strengthened.
