The workshop will be part of the Innovative solutions for scaling up Energy Efficiency in Buildings - International Investor Connect Forum taking place in Chisinau on 3-4 October 2024. It will be held on 4 October at 14:00 as Session 9 of the Forum (see draft agenda below). The workshop will discuss findings of the Guides developed by UNECE and UNDP to support the efforts of the Government of the Republic of Moldova to improve energy efficiency and increase share of renewable energy resources in the country in response to the energy crisis.
The Guide for the implementation of energy efficiency measures and valorization of renewable energy sources for public sector buildings developed by UNECE was funded by the Regular Programme for Technical Cooperation (RPTC). Public sector buildings, such as schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and cultural centers, are the target of this Guide. The study is intended for those responsible for ensuring energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in public buildings under the authority of the national Government and local public administrations. The Guide can be used in the process of preparing a pre-feasibility study to identify energy efficiency measures and use of renewable energy equipment and assess the investment costs depending on the measures selected and the financial resources available. The guide provides recommendations for energy auditors on how to select and justify energy efficiency measures for public buildings.
