A comprehensive approach to designing of buildings of Azerbaijan's state-owned SOCAR within new construction projects will reduce the amount of energy spent on heating by 40-50 percent, SOCAR vice-president for ecology Rafiga Huseynzade said at a conference following the signing of a protocol of intent with UNDP on March 6.
Thanks to the application of improved design methods until 2029, the annual energy consumption will decrease from 300 kilowatt-hours to 175 kilowatt-hours, she said.
