A training course on the energy efficiency of residential areas as a factor in the sustainable development of the urban environment, conducted within the framework of a joint project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan and the United Nations Development Program, has been completed.

It was attended by representatives of relevant ministries and departments, teachers of higher educational institutions of the country, as well as employees of the hotels of the national tourist zone «Avaza».

The seminar participants reviewed international experience in energy efficiency and green standards, features of green building in order to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption.

The implementation of savings in the cost of natural energy resources is possible already at the stage of designing a building, namely, when developing a space-planning solution, its general design concept, etc.

It is required that the shortcomings of thermal energy and excesses of heat are minimal. Reducing the amount of fuel consumed to ensure favorable conditions for the internal microclimate of buildings leads to a decrease in greenhouse gases and other gases emitted during its combustion, protecting the environment and water around us.
