Newly constructed, reconstructed, and capital-repaired residential and non-residential buildings in Azerbaijan will be required to obtain an energy-efficiency passport, APA reports.
This is reflected in the newly proposed Article 17.3 of the law “On Efficient Use of Energy Resources and Energy Efficiency,” which was discussed at today’s session of the Milli Majlis.
According to the draft, buildings (structures) included in the list of immovable historical and cultural monuments of world, national, and local significance; auxiliary and temporary structures; greenhouses and warehouse buildings; industrial buildings; individual residential houses; advertising structures specified in the Urban Planning and Construction Code; and construction facilities that are not required to undergo expert review under that Code will be exempt. For all other residential and non-residential buildings, obtaining an energy-efficiency passport will be mandatory.
The passport requirement will apply to residential and non-residential buildings that are newly constructed, reconstructed, or undergoing major repairs after the law enters into force, and will not apply to buildings already in operation.
Note that the current law already includes provisions for the rules on energy-efficiency certification of buildings, which will be approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
The draft law was put to a vote and adopted in the third reading.
