DETAIL DESCRIPTION: 

The “Promoting Solutions and Advisory for Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Armenia” (SAFER) initiative is implemented by DSIK Armenia within the framework of the “Sustainable Energy for Climate Resilient Municipal Development in Armenia” (SE4Resilience) project, co-financed by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ.
The SAFER initiative promotes practical, accessible, and socially inclusive energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE/RE) solutions for vulnerable and women-headed households in Armenia. It combines awareness-raising, advisory support, technical assistance, and co-financing mechanisms to strengthen household energy resilience and reduce energy poverty.
The initiative is implemented in four target regions of Armenia: Shirak, Tavush, Syunik, Gegharkunik.
The selected regions are characterized by the high level of energy poverty, inefficient energy consumption patterns, dependency on solid biomass fuels, limited access to energy-efficient infrastructure, and high vulnerability among women-headed households.
SAFER applies a gender-responsive and vulnerability-sensitive approach, with particular focus on women-headed households and households facing social or economic vulnerabilities, including elderly members, persons with disabilities, displaced or refugee populations, and single-parent families.
Under the initiative, 300 selected households will receive technical and investment support for EE/RE improvements. Planned interventions may include roof, wall, and floor insulation; replacement of windows and doors; installation of solar photovoltaic systems, solar water heaters, and energy-efficient stoves; and other EE/RE measures.
Technical assessments and investment-grade energy audits are a key component of implementation, ensuring that proposed interventions are technically feasible, economically justified, safe, and tailored to the condition and energy performance of each household.

REQUIREMENTS: 

Phase 1: Technical Visual and Instrumental Assessment of Residential Houses
Objectives of Phase 1
The objective of Phase 1 is to conduct systematic on-site technical visual assessments of at least 350 selected residential houses in order to determine:
• The overall physical and structural condition of the buildings
• Existing technical deficiencies and visible damages
• Potential structural or safety-related risks
• Technical feasibility and suitability of buildings for EE/RE interventions
• Potential limitations affecting future implementation works

Phase 2: Investment-Grade Household Energy Audits
Objectives of Phase 2
The objective of Phase 2 is to conduct investment-grade energy audits for up to 350 selected residential houses by using the results of Phase 1 in order to:
• Assess houses energy performance and energy consumption patterns
• Identify technically feasible and cost-effective EE/RE measures
• Estimate energy-saving and greenhouse gas reduction potential
• Develop household-specific investment recommendations
• Evaluate and propose a budget for defined EE/RE measures
• Support SAFER investment planning and implementation decisions.
