8. PAGE SUPPORT-WHY GREEN BUILDING?
More than half of Ulaanbaatar’s residents live in ger districts
many of whom without access to basic public services like
water, sewage systems, and central heating.
The pollution is bad in winter time.
Risks to natural disasters are high.

9. Need for greening construction sector
Over the last 3 years the size of residential buildings increases
by 30% so does demand for energy
Building heat loss is very high. We heat 3 mln m2 space by
using the energy that can be used for heating 10.5 mln m2
space
Waste from construction on average 188,512 tonnes a year
PAGE SUPPORT-WHY GREEN BUILDING?

10. Need for greening construction sector
High opportunities in the construction sector of Mongolia
•Increasing demand for apartments due to urbanisation and
migration to city
•Long period for heating (8 months)
•High energy loss (up to 60% )
•Need for development of new settlement areas near UB
•Re-planning and re-development of ger areas
•Community initiative for land planning and development
PAGE SUPPORT-WHY GREEN BUILDING?

11. The country will introduce appropriate rating system for green building, energy,
technology, standards and implement these methods to develop and reduce heat
loss through building by 20 percent in 2020 and 40 percent in 2030; increase the
share of renewable energy to 20 percent in 2020, and reach 30 percent in 2030.

PAGE SUPPORT-WHY GREEN BUILDING?
• Green school building design”
for Secondary School No 122.
• The school has a capacity of 640
children seats, but now over
1200 children attend the school.
When developing building design and architecture
planning, we had a vision of "Children’s Academic
House," a concept of modern school building
development trends
• child-friendly,
• healthy,
• safe and comfortable learning environment,
• free space planning or resting area (recreational
area),
• direct access glass wall from recreational areas
to sports center,
• spacious planning with maximum direct sunlight
on tunnels and open spaces.
Myagmar Uyanga, Director of NAP LLC

12. SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT
• You can spend your own money on
yourself. When you do that, you try to get
the most for your money.
• You can spend your own money on
somebody else. Then I’m not so careful
about the content of the present, but I’m
very careful about the cost.
• I can spend somebody else’s money on
myself. If I spend somebody else’s
money on myself, then I’m sure going to
have a good lunch!
• I can spend somebody else’s money on
somebody else. If I spend somebody
else’s money on somebody else, I’m not
concerned about how much it is, and I’m
not concerned about what I get.
