USAID partners with GIZ To Reduce Greenhouse Emissions in Mongolia
Construction begins today on a thermo-technical retrofitting project that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help make Ulaanbaatar an environmentally-friendly city. A collaborative project between U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), three schools in Ulaanbaatar City have been selected for rehabilitation - School No. 63, No. 79-1 and No. 79-2.
This project uses clean energy – through solar power and thermal insulation - to increase heat levels in the school buildings.
In addition to introducing these technologies, local contractors, engineers, and architects will receive on-the-job training on the application of environmentally-friendly techniques; learning modules on clean energy will also be provided to teachers and students.
Funding for this 13-month project totals $1,517,000 USD.
Heat energy consumption and CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by 50% after the thermo-technical retrofitting.
