Project Description and Summary of Services

 

 

 

 

 

The project promoted energy efficient houses with special focus on the use of straw bale as insulation. With funding from UNDP, the project provided technical assistance and capacity building to construction workers, home builders, home owners as well as straw bale suppliers. It also provided information dissemination on this type of housing technology which has been proven to reduce pollution, promote energy efficiency and use renewable resources.

IIEC provided financial advisory which included:

  • Review of the financing systems and existing legislations for energy efficiency and the housing sector
  • Evaluation of the financial mechanisms developed by the project
  • Development of proposals for alternative funding mechanism
  • Development of a clear set of guidelines for strawbale housing fund raising
  • Development of recommendation to the Government and the financial sector of Mongolia to increase the financing for the construction of strawbale housing

About IIEC

iiec iconThe International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) was founded in 1984 to dramatically increase the use of energy efficiency (EE) as an important clean energy approach in developing countries. Through our regional offices, we have been effective in bringing about progress in EE policy and implementation that has both reduced energy consumption by thousands of MWs and fostered economic development in the countries we serve. The IIEC works with stakeholders across all sectors to connect international best practice with the unique needs of the communities in which we operate, combining sound EE and renewable energy policy with hands-on implementation in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage sustainable development.
