| Summary: | The Republic of Belarus relies heavily
on natural gas imports to meet domestic energy demand.
Energy efficiency (EE) investments can significantly reduce
budget outlays in the long-term while also improving the
physical assets and quality of energy services. Investments
in thermal retrofits of public and residential buildings can
result in substantial economic benefits. Recognizing the
substantial energy savings potential in the buildings
sector, the Government of the Republic of Belarus (GoB) has
introduced policies and programs to promote the development
of more energy efficient buildings, and the retrofitting of
old buildings. The integrated program for design,
construction, and renovation of energy-efficient housing in
the Republic of Belarus for 2009-2010 and until 2020 sets a
national target to reduce specific heat consumption in
existing residential buildings by 60 kWh per |
