The Foundation to Save Energy (ESF) was founded in 2003 and has since worked with a number of donors and NGOs to promote awareness on energy efficiency issues particularly in the residential sector where utility bills are a burden for the low-income households. The ESF has officially committed to supported sustainability of municipal energy planning by signing a cooperation agreement with the European Commission to serve as the Supporter of the EU Covenant of Mayors. The ESF team has been advising the Armenian municipalities in development of municipal energy plans (MEPs) and Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs).
Actions implemented in the field of building performance:
ESF has been developing MEPs and SEAPs for Armenian cities, supporting HOAs in loan-financed energy efficiency retrofits. We have also advised a number of construction projects on integrated building design. ESF has also been the volunteer to translate Display into Armenian!
