The NAMA concept envisages reduction of energy consumption for heating and hot water supply in existing residential buildings that are connected to the district heating system (DHS) in Tashkent of the following types:

• 4 floor brick building – 22 building in total,
• 4-floor panel building – 20 buildings in total,
•  9-floor panel building – 23 buildings in total.

Measures have been identified and their energy saving potential estimated.

The project was carried out by a consortium of partners coordinated by DIW econ, the consultancy company of the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin during 2011 -2014.
