Mr Maciej Madalinski, Chargé d’affaires a.i. at the EU Delegation to Kazakhstan, said: “I am proud that with the support of the EU, this European practice is now being rolled out in Kazakhstan. In the EU we call this labeling energy performance certificates. I am pleased that new public buildings in Kazakhstan, such as this school, are being built to energy saving and energy efficiency standards. Healthy buildings, healthy people – let us always remember that. Energy efficiency labelling of buildings is one step closer towards reducing emissions, caring more for the nature and its resources, ensuring public health and well-being and, ultimately, achieving climate-neutrality goals”.
