| Overview : The objective of the UNDP/GEF project on improving energy efficiency in residential buildings in Turkmenistan is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving energy management and reducing energy consumption in the residential sector in Turkmenistan. The project has been designed to: - strengthen building codes and associated normative documents on energy efficiency in buildings,
- develop capacity at Turkmengas State Corporation and other state entities to identify end-use energy savings in their housing stock and implement investments to reduce end-use energy consumption,
- introduce improved highly-efficient design measures to major housing designers and developers, and
- replicate these measures through protocols for energy-saving measures in prototype buildings and through mainstreaming EE issues into state construction and housing policies and programs.
The project seeks to reduce energy consumption and associated greenhouse gases in residential sector in Turkmenistan and is structured into four project components: - Energy efficient building codes and supporting capacity strengthening
- Demand-side management : partnership with Turkmengas State Corporation
- Improved design measures for major residential building designers and developers
- Replication through partnership with other developers and support for policies that encourage energy efficiency
At present, neither new construction nor refurbishment projects consider the energy performance of the buildings involved. The buildings being constructed and refurbished now without any attention to energy efficiency are effectively “locking in” patterns of energy consumption – and associated greenhouse gas emissions - for the next several decades at needlessly high levels. Even before the construction boom, emissions in the residential sector totaled more than 3 million tons of CO2, or nearly 10% of total CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. Now, these emissions play an increasing role in the overall share of greenhouse gas emissions in Turkmenistan, and the residential sector is the third largest source of emissions in the country. Without intervention, these emissions will continue to grow unchecked. To address these project objectives, UNDP Turkmenistan Country Office is seeking proposals from individuals for provision of the Individual Consultancy Services described in the abovementioned subject. All interested candidates may submit their proposals, P11, CV and Offeror's Letter to UNDP on or before close of business (18:00) on 03 June, 2015 and via: e-mail, facsimile, in a sealed envelopes marked " National Consultant on Technical Audit of Reconstruction and Construction of Residential Multi-storied Buildings for EERB project " to the following address: UNDP Turkmenistan Registry Galkynysh 40, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan Telephone: + 993 12 425250 Fax: + 993 12 425317 E-Mail: registry.tm@undp.org To assist you in understanding the requirements of this assignment, we have attached hereto the following: •The Terms of Reference / Procurement Notice for the assignment; •Offeror's Letter to UNDP, confirming Interest and Availability, which you must accomplish and submit to UNDP; •P11; and •The Individual Contract and its General Terms and Conditions, which you would be expected to sign in the event you are the selected Offeror in this procurement process |
