ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENT IN BUILDINGS
Policy Reforms and Market Transformation of the Energy Efficient Buildings Sector of the I.R. Iran
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to transform the energy efficiency of heating systems in buildings in Iran. Implementation of this project results in an invigorated sector in which skilled and well trained engineers fit/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 1- reviewing the legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks that impact building efficiency in Iran, revising the building code and products standards and labels and developing a supportive cross-sectional energy efficiency strategy, 2- piloting installations of energy efficient and renewable energy measures in existing buildings, and 3- 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.
