YEREVAN. – Armenia is in need of energy effective construction
professionals, Mkrtich Minasyan, Head of the Union of Architects of
Armenia, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In his words, energy-efficient technologies and building materials are
not frequently used in Armenia.

`There is a demand for such buildings, but there is no corresponding
school of professionals and construction technology cycle,’ Minasyan
explained.

According to him, the other problem is that energy-efficient
technologies increase the construction budget.

`[And] this pushes back the potential clients. [But] there can be no
development without it,’ the architect concluded.
