 Heating season lasts 188 days here with average outdoor
air temperature of -2.40 C and -25 0C in the coldest five
days.
 According to the RA construction norms II-7.02-95
“Thermal physics of building envelope”, thermal resistance
coefficient for envelops of residential buildings constructed
in similar settlements should exceed
 3.08 m2·°C/W - for external walls,

 External walls
The building has three-layered external walls assembled of 200mm- and
100mm-thick reinforced concrete blocks. Between the layers, 100 to 150mm
vacant space is envisaged to be filled with volcanic slag of 800 kg/m3
volume weight.
 Windows and external doors (balcony and entrance)
Locally produced windows of two-layer glass are installed with 6cm-wide
metal-plastic frames.
 The first storey floor
No insulation is envisaged for the floors of the first storey and for columns
and beams included into the external walls.
 The 4th storey cover
For insulation of the last storey cover, 300mm-thick slag layer is envisaged;
however, for the buildings constructed in Gyumry, 20mm-thick foam-plastic
and 50 to 100mm-thick slag layers were put.
 Balconies
No insulation is envisaged for concrete blocks of balconies.
 Vestibule (tambour)
Noteworthy, vestibules were envisaged in the initial design, but are no more
included in it.

The Baseline Option
Estimations of thermal resistance performed with the data
used in the design yield values of 0.72, 0.85, 0.79, 0.38
m2·°C/W for the building’s external walls, cover, floors and
windows respectively that are significantly lower than
required by the current norms.
Energy performance – 212 kWh/m2 year
Indoor temperature - 20°C
Building heat load - 220 kW (Individual boilers >90% Eff.)
Natural gas consumption - 51,700 m3 (heating)
Natural gas cost - 6,824,000 AMD (132 AMD/m3).

Limitations to the design changes
N Pre-requisites of activity selection
for improvement of energy
efficiency in the demonstration
building
1 Replicability potential
Observations
The activities to implement must
ensure easy replicability
2 Affordability
Technology/materials to implement
must be available and affordable in
the Armenian market
3 Bearing structure changing
The amendments envisaged must
limitations (seismic issues)
not adversely affect the building’s
seismic performance
4 After baseline amendments to the Area in disposal of the
building’s design, apartment areas demonstration building’s residents
must not decrease
must be equivalent to the other
buildings’

The Project Option
 External walls
 Attach external surface (usual, smooth) of 20cm-thick wall build of pumiceconcrete reinforced blocks to external surfaces of columns and beams;
 Exclude 10cm-thick pumice-concrete wall and slag layer into the walls’
structure;
 Starting from the lowest point of insulation layer of the first storey’s cover
and up to the highest point of insulation layer of the last storey’s cover,
envisage 8.5cm-thick on-site-blown polyurethane layer per the building’s
total external perimeter.
 That should be covered with concrete-adhesive material that, in its turn, be
covered with 2.5 to 3 cm-thick concrete-sand color plastering with steel
network
 The network should be fixed to the external walls, columns and beams at
40cmX40cm steps with Փ8 A500c reinforcing rods;
 A part of 8.5cm-thick polyurethane layer may be coated with tuff blocks, on
the architect’s decision.
 Windows and external doors (balcony and entrance)
Envisage in the new design three-layered windows and doors with metalplastic frame with thermal resistance of 0.51 m2·°C/W. Insulation of windows
and doors should be performed per their total perimeter with rock wool or other
fire resistant insulation material.
UNDP-GEF “Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings” Project
16
The Project Option
 The first storey floor
 Under the cover’s block, envisage solid 6cm-thick layer of on-site-blown
polyurethane and 2 to 3cm-thick concrete-sand plastering (gunned
material) with steel network and fix it to the cover’s blocks with dowels;
 To prevent possible damping of the insulation layer, envisage a waterinsulating layer for sanitary units’ and kitchens’ floors.
 The 4th storey cover
On the cover’s blocks, envisage 10cm-thick layer of on-site-blown
polyurethane and 5cm-thick concrete-sand layer.
 Balconies
 Envisage 12cm-thick block for balconies instead of initially stated 20cm;
 Envisage solid 2cm-thick insulating layer of on-site-blown polyurethane
for balcony’s blocks. Envisage color concrete-sand plastering with metal
networks for lower and front surfaces of the balcony’s blocks.
 Vestibule (tambour)
Envisage vestibules (tambours) for all entrances of the building, design per
the architect’s decision. Using the excess space emerged due to the
building’s re-design, it is possible to allocate vestibules (tambours) in inside
the building.
