3. PROJECT OBJECTIVE Assist EBRD and local national authorities with: up-grate of building energy efficiency legislation: - in Moldova: Ministerial Decree - in Kyrgyzstan: Technical Reglament strengthening the regulatory framework in the building sector In Moldova and Kyrgyzstan ENHANCING REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT

4. BACKGROUND: 48% of final energy consumption present buildings 80% of building stock constructed in 50s-80s typical with high rate of energy losses (no EE taken into account, subsidized energy prices) buildings – large EE potential 30-40% improvement of energy performance = > can contribute to energy dependency decrease (both countries imports 90-98% of fossil fuels) only mandatory regulatory framework - technical standards, health & safety regulations and construction permit procedures.
