The NAMA is aimed at long term transformation of building energy efficiency with a first focus on building readiness to create the necessary regulatory structures to support the nationwide adoption of deep energy efficient refurbishment and rehabilitation of the existing building stock.
Activities: (2016 - 2021)
The NAMA is aimed at long term transformation of building energy efficiency with a first focus on building readiness to create the necessary regulatory structures to support the nationwide adoption of deep energy efficient refurbishment and rehabilitation of the existing building stock.
- Phase 1
By piloting the renovation of key public buildings in Covenant of Mayors (CoM) cities as well as central government facilities the NAMA seeks to build capacity and experience in carrying out deep energy efficient renovation of entire buildings and testing the model of energy performance contracting through Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
In this process the project offers to demonstrate a programmatic approach for low carbon renovation of existing buildings. In this approach all stakeholders are equally involved including households associations who are currently a very formal establishment with limited activity and influence.
- Phase 2
The aim is to extend the process to the residential sector once the majority of barriers are removed and the country has more experience with the implementation of full building refurbishment, rehabilitation and maintenance.
- All three ministries have been actively involved in the NAMA preparation and coordination process.
- The establishment of an enabling environment for deep energy efficient refurbishment supported by EPC (Energy Performance Contract) and ESCO activities is envisaged at the readiness phase of NAMA
- Am implementation phase will then follow during which chosen demonstration projects will be tendered to ESCOs to carry out the deep refurbishment of the building.
- To test different solutions in Georgia, the central government will set up a unit to manage the renovation of their buildings, including energy performance contracting. The municipalities will be responsible implementing entities for the implementation stage. Their responsibility will include issuing a tender for an external party to manage the renovation process including securing finance and energy performance contracting. The external party can be a traditional energy services company (ESCO) either for profit or not for profit, or any other with the right qualifications.
- As ESCOs are not established yet in Georgia, existing developers will be trained for this purpose during the readiness phase as well as joint ventures with experienced ESCOs might be formed. These entities would deliver the energy efficient renovation of 50 000 – 60 000 sq. metres in a 3 year period, with monitoring and reporting of the performance of the buildings continuing after that period. Part of the contracting for the energy –efficient renovation work would include provisions to help disseminate the results from the renovation and the financing/contracting arrangements (allowing for commercial sensitivities).

Based on energy audits of typical buildings carried out in Georgia’s cities it is assumed that around 30% of emissions savings can be achieved through the envisioned renovation activities. which corresponds to 0.02 t (20 kg) CO2eq per sq.m per annum.
In monetary values, annual energy savings per sq.m is maximum 2.88 Euro (8 GEL) and for rehabilitated 60 000 sq.m savings will be around 60 000*2.88= 172 800 Euro annually.
For the ten years period the project will reach reduction of 12 000 t CO2eq and financial savings (only as a results of energy savings) 1 728 000 Euro. 300 Euro is estimated for full rehabilitation of per sq. m including EE measures. The latest covers 30% of total costs (100 Euro). Relevantly EE measures for 60 000 sq.m need 6 000 000 Euro. Taking into consideration monetary savings for ten years final expenses are 6 000 000 -1 728 000= 4 272 000 Euro. Cost per ton of CO2eq= 4 272 000/12 000 = 356 Euro."Based on energy audits of typical buildings carried out in Georgia’s cities it is assumed that around 30% of emissions savings can be achieved through the envisioned renovation activities. which corresponds to 0.02 t (20 kg) CO2eq per sq.m per annum.

| Environmental: | * avoidance of the use of unsustainable fire wood for heating, in private as well as public houses |
MRV Framework:
No MRV plan has been defined
- phase I -readiness phase (Euro 0.9 million)
- phase II-implementation phase targeting the full renovation of 50 000 to 60 000 sq. meter in buildings including EE measures (18 million Euro, Euro 300 per sq.m).
