Kuban Shekeyev is actively engaged in the construction of his new insulated house

A resident of the Kyrman residential area, Kuban Shekeyev, is actively engaged in the construction of his new insulated house, the facade of which is currently faced with travertine.

A two-story mansion with an area of about 260 sq. m. in the Kyrman residential area is being built following all technical requirements for energy efficiency within the framework of the GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) program.

Kuban Shekeyev first heard about the GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) program several years ago. But only this year did he decide to build his own house, turning to GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) engineers for technical advice. Experts gave recommendations on how to apply for a soft loan from Kompanion Bank.

Credit specialists of the financial institution promptly issued a loan under the GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) Program to Kuban Shekeyev. GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) engineers proposed installing energy-efficient five-chamber windows with double-layer glazing and insulating the external walls with 5 cm-thick mineral wool. The roof was insulated with 15 cm of thick mineral wool.

“I thank the GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) engineers for the detailed consultation. It is necessary to support the introduction of green technologies, save energy, and prepare housing for the winter period. Big challenges are being addressed, including reducing air pollution. There is no longer any need to heat with coal, as it is very harmful to the environment,” noted Kuban Shekeyev.

As a result, after implementing all energy-efficient measures within the GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) program, the energy savings in the house will be 27.63 MWh, and the savings in carbon dioxide emissions will be 16.63 tons per year.

Kuban Shekeyev hopes that he will celebrate his housewarming next year. As a result of the implementation of all agreed energy efficiency measures, the grant portion can be up to 15% of the total loan amount.

The Program for Promoting the Green Economy in Kyrgyzstan, GEFF Kyrgyzstan (Kyrseff III) is being implemented with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Union. It encourages the introduction of energy and water conservation measures in the private sector.
