Social Infrastructure Retrofitting Project

closed

The Social Infrastructure Retrofitting Project aims to improve the functional and health environments of social sector facilities, with particular emphasis on reducing energy consumption. The project has two main components. The first component will support investment in physical infrastructure, which includes retrofitting buildings and repairing parts of associated heat networks. Energy retrofitting measures in schools and medical facilities, and associated supply-side improvements will include building envelope and heating system improvements as well as conversion or replacement of individual autonomous boilers. Also included is rehabilitation of limited portions of District Heating Networks where deemed necessary to capture savings at the heat production source. The second component, technical assistance, will support project implementation and advance sector policy discussions. The component will include funding for technical and financial audits, continuation of the public awareness campaign, training for project management unit staff, financing for studies and workshops, and funding for project management unit staffing.
