(MAB) in Armenia Promotion of Energy Efficiency in Retrofitting of Public Buildings Andre Ohanian, National Expert on Building Engineering, Energy Efficiency and Renewable energy, UNDP-GCF Project “De-risking and Scaling-up Investment in Energy Efficient Building Retrofits” GCF-UNDP Project Yerevan 22 November 2019 Cooperation with Yerevan Energy Efficiency (YEE) Project (1) UNDP-GCF Project provides technical assistance to the Municipality of Yerevan in implementing the “Yerevan Energy Efficiency (YEE) Project” aimed at promotion of energy efficiency (EE) improvements in municipal level. In the first phase, the Project has focused on implementation of EE measures in 31 kindergartens in Yerevan. “De-risking and Scaling-up Investment in Energy Efficient Building Retrofits” Project Cooperation with Yerevan Energy Efficiency (YEE) Project (2) Energy Efficiency measures proposed for kindergartens include: 1. Building shell thermal insulation 2. Changing of doors and windows 3. Replacement of inefficient luminaries/lamps with LEDs 4. Replacement/regulation of heat supply systems 5. Introduction of ventilation systems (with heat recovery units) 6. Furthermore, integration of solar energy systems (solar PV and solar thermal) have been included in general scope of works Technical designs are under finalization for kindergartens and are being/have been verified/approved by independent examination body. “De-risking and Scaling-up Investment in Energy Efficient Building Retrofits” Project Cooperation with Yerevan Energy Efficiency (YEE) Project (3) Comprehensive Energy Audits have been carried out in kindergarten facilities. According to the results, average Specific Heat & Ventilation Consumption for all kindergartens accounts for 303 kWh/m2/year, whereas actual average consumption is 118 kWh/m2/year. This translates into an average actual comfort level of 40%. Average Specific Heat & Ventilation Energy Consumption (Normative, Before) 303 kWh/m2/year Specific Heat & Ventilation Energy Consumption (Actual, current) 118 kWh/m2/year Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) (Actual, current) 162 kWh/m2/year Average Specific Heat & Ventilation Energy Consumption (Normative, After) 105 kWh/m2/year CO2 emission reduction from all refurbished facilities accounts for 2,295 tons/year. “De-risking and Scaling-up Investment in Energy Efficient Building Retrofits” Project Rehabilitation of Child and Youth Center #3 in Erebuni district of Yerevan (1) According to the Statement of Intent between YM and UNDP Armenia, initial design documents, prepared by YM were revised by UNDP in order to introduce comprehensive measures for upgrading seismic durability of the building and ensure energy efficiency improvements.

  • EU Relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan.Pdf
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS EU relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan ABSTRACT The EU is currently reshaping its relationship with Armenia and Azerbaijan through new agreements for which the negotiations ended (Armenia) or started (Azerbaijan) in February 2017. After Yerevan’s decision to join the EAEU (thereby renouncing to sign an AA/DCFTA), the initialling of the CEPA provides a new impetus to EU-Armenia relations. It highlights Armenia’s lingering interest in developing closer ties with the EU and provides a vivid illustration of the EU’s readiness to respond to EaP countries’ specific needs and circumstances. The CEPA is also a clear indication that the EU has not engaged in a zero- sum game with Russia and is willing to exploit any opportunity to further its links with EaP countries. The launch of negotiations on a new EU-Azerbaijan agreement – in spite of serious political and human rights problems in the country – results from several intertwined factors, including the EU’s energy security needs and Baku’s increasing bargaining power. At this stage, Azerbaijan is interested only in forms of cooperation that are not challenging the political status quo. However, the decline in both world oil prices and domestic oil production in this country is creating bargaining opportunities for the EU in what promises to be a difficult negotiation.

  • Risk Assessment Chapter 6
    Chapter 6 Risk Assessment Chapter 6 Risk Assessment 6.1 Damage of Buildings The building damage functions for multi-story residential buildings, for low-rise individual houses and for schools and hospitals are made mainly based on the damage by Spitak earthquake in 1988. Therefore, the seismic resistance of the buildings in 1988 is considered tacitly in creating the damage function; however, already over 20 years has passed from 1988. Most building in Yerevan has been constructed before 1991 and the aging effect to the seismic resistance of the buildings is a matter of concern. Also the maintenance of the residential buildings after 1991 is said to became poor than before. The effects of these issues are necessary to be included for realistic risk assessment. The quantitative effects are evaluated by expert judgment in discussing with Armenian researchers and concluded that the damage ratio is increased 10% for aging effect and 10% for poor maintenance issue. As a result, the damage functions in Figures 5.3-17, 5.3-19 and 5.3-20 are multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the damage of buildings. 6.1.1 Multi-story residential buildings Number of heavily damaged multi-story residential buildings per grid of 250m x 250m against two scenario earthquakes is shown in Figure 6.1-1. 6.1.2 Individual house Number of heavily damaged individual houses per grid of 250m x 250m is shown in Figure 6.1-2. 6.1.3 Summary of damage of buildings 1) Damages of multi-story buildings and individual houses at each district are summarized in Table 6.1-1.
