| description |
This study was undertaken by the World
Bank to inform the potential areas and means ofassistance to
the Government of Uzbekistan in scaling up energy efficiency
(EE) investmentsin residential, commercial, and public
buildings, focusing on energy use and efficiency inspace
heating. Considering the ongoing World Bank assistance in
modernizing districtheating services in selected cities in
Uzbekistan, this study is explicitly concerned
withresidential, commercial, and public buildings that are
not served by district heating. The main objective of the
study was to identify scalable EE interventions that could
be deployed in the next 3 to 5 years. Three specific areas
were investigated: (a) a market assessment for upgrading
space heating and water heating equipment in detached homes
and commercial buildings; (b) an analysis of the issues and
options for scaling up investmentin thermal retro fit of
public buildings; and (c) a gap analysis on the compliance
enforcementof building EE standards in newly constructed
housing. The study did not look into thermalretrofit of
existing residential buildings, which holds significant
energy-saving potential, butalso is among the most complex
and challenging of EE interventions. A separate
in-depthanalysis would be required to adequately address the
issues involved. The three areas of investigation are
broadly consistent with the priorities for improving EE in
buildings stated in Presidential Decree No. PP-2343: Program
of Measures to Increase Energy Efficiency and Introduce
Energy-Saving Technologies in the Sectors of Economy
andSocial Sphere during 2015–2019. In particular, the
presidential decree singled out actions in (a) replacement
of nonstandard and inefficient boilers for space-heating and
hot watersupply in detached houses; (b) channeling of energy
cost savings in state budget-funded organizations toward
funding EE investments in these entities; and (c)
improvement of rulesand norms for EE requirements for new
buildings. The findings and recommendations of the study,
summarized below, are intended to inform discussions between
the Government and the World Bank on the issues and options
to address the main constraints to implementing the priority
actions identified in thePresidential Decree No. PP-2343.
Detailed courses of action on specific EE interventions
inbuildings could then be developed based on the outcomes of
these discussions. |
