Ulaanbaatar
A project to reduce green house gas emission in construction sector
Environment
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Yesterday, May 10, launch and inception workshop of The Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) in the construction sector in Mongolia project was held. During the workshop, the project goals, strategy and expectations were introduced and experts discussed about development and implementation of mitigation actions and creating measuring, reporting and verification system for NAMA.
The objective of the project is to facilitate market transformation for energy efficiency in the construction sector through the development and implementation of NAMA in Mongolia. The project will be implemented by Ministry of Environment and Tourism and Ministry of Energy with support of Ministry of Construction and Urban Development and UNDP over three years with funding of USD8.1 million.
With an increase in housing demand, the construction sector had been thriving reciprocally over the past decade. The projection of housing demand based on the population growth rate indicates approx. 140,000 apartment units will be constructed between 2020 and 2030, which translates to around 14,000 new units annually. As the building stock continues to grow, energy demand simultaneously escalates.
Urban household energy use dominates energy demand in the building sector, which is projected to nearly double between 2010 and 2035, despite the combination of energy efficiency improvements and ongoing shift away from less-efficient biomass heating fuels. It is expected to achieve GHG emission reductions through the displacement of electricity heat generation from coal power plants and Combined Heat Powers.
