1. Regional workshop WEC-ADEME “Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Policies in the MENA Region” organised by ANME with the support of UNDP Tunis, 15-16 March 2010 Energy Efficiency in Syria Current Situation & Future Prospects Eng.

2. Content: • Energy Main Indicators in Syria • current energy situation in Syria • Distribution of primary energy demand in Syria by sector • EE legislations • Cooperative programmes. - Law 3 - Law 18 - Thermal insulation Code

3. Energy Main Indicators for Syria in 2008:

6. current energy situation in Syria M TOE Year

7. energy demand in Syria

8. Implement EE What should we do to face the deficit …..??? total energy demand 11 Mtoe 28 Mtoe ???? RE 70 Mtoe 7 Mtoe Conventional 24 Mtoe

9. EE legislations Law 3 Law 18 Thermal insulation Code

10. Energy Conservation Law No. 3 • This law issued in Feb 2009 • Regulatory basis for national economic sectors to adapt Energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. • All codes and legislations related to energy are under the umbrella of this law.

11. EE for home appliances Labels and standers Law No. 18 • Issued in 2008 • deals with energy efficiency for home appliances in residential and commercial sectors

12. Building Thermal insulation Code in Syria (issued in 17 Nov 2007) First: Thermal transmittance ( U- value) U= 0.5 W/m2.K U= 0.8 W/m2.K U= 5.2 W/m2.K if Aw ≤ 0.2 Afacade Or U= 3.5 W/m2.K if Aw > 0.2 Afacade U= 1 W/m2.K U= 1.5 W/m2.K U= 0.5 W/m2.K U= 1 W/m2.K Second: The amount of condensate in the structural elements Third: Avoidance Thermal Bridges

13. Syrian German cooperation project “ practical application for buildings thermal insulation Code in Syrian“ 1- Capacity buildings in different stages about appropriate thermal design of buildings, thermal insulation, building physics, inspection, control and supervision which will help in implementing energy conservation law No. 3 that issued in 2009 by the President of Syrian Arab Republic. 2- Issuing Syrian Thermal Insulation Buildings Atlas (STIBA) 3-Designing thermal calculation software for the Syrian insulation code 4- Put strategy to develop Syrian insulation Code according to climate zones in Syria.

14. Government of the Syrian Arab Republic United Nations Development Programme “Energy Efficiency Building Codes in the Syrian Arab Republic” • remove legal, regulatory and institutional barriers to the adoption of an EE building code. • promote a policy dialog among government agencies, industry professionals and developers/landlords on a national EE building initiative. • increase the acceptance of EE standards and practices by industry professionals, developers and landlords. • Carry out demonstration projects to demonstrate the efficiency of proposed standards
