The Ministry of Economics has announced an open competition for the development of standard projects for the renovation and energy efficiency improvement of 316 and 602 series multi-apartment buildings. It is planned that standard projects for the renovation of these buildings will be available to residents by next spring.
The goal of developing these standard projects is to promote the renovation and energy efficiency improvement of serially built multi-apartment buildings by providing cost-effective and high-quality standard solutions. This will significantly reduce the time and costs associated with developing construction project documentation for the clients.
Any individual or legal entity or association of such entities in any combination that meets the qualification requirements and is ready to prepare these projects is invited to participate in the competition. Applicants can submit proposals for one or both series of buildings. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the EIS e-tender subsystem by 10:00 AM on July 24 of this year.
A standard project is understood as detailed construction project documentation that includes all necessary project sections and is formatted and assembled according to all current regulatory acts.
The economic part of the standard project must include all the typical and objectively necessary works, materials, and equipment, with precise descriptions of their specifications and quantities. The standard project should incorporate the most effective architectural, energy efficiency, structural, heating and thermal node, ventilation, water supply and sewerage, windows and doors, fire safety, as well as electrical and low-voltage solutions. It is crucial to ensure that the energy efficiency solutions included in the standard project provide at least a 30% reduction in the primary total energy consumption of the multi-apartment building from the primary total energy consumption before the project begins.
It is planned that the standard project will not include sections related to the building's location or specific cases for a particular building and external engineering connections (territory section, external engineering system connections such as heating and thermal node, electrical and low-voltage, gas supply, water supply, and sewerage).
The Ministry of Economics has already started developing standard projects for the renovation and energy efficiency improvement of serially built multi-apartment buildings last year. The first chosen series was the 103 series, as it is the most widespread building series in Latvia. By the end of 2023, a standard project for the renovation and energy efficiency improvement of the 103 series buildings was completed. The next most widespread serially built buildings are the 316 series and the 602 series.
