Component 1(a). Retrofitting and Renovation (~US$205 million IBRD Loan): This subcomponent will finance advisory services for the preparation of all technical documentation for investments in priority buildings, including energy and structural audits, technical design, building control, commissioning and energy audits for both renovation and demolition/reconstruction works, and supervision of contractors to carry out retrofitting and renovation works.

Retrofitting and renovation includes (i) structural strengthening measures, (ii) energy efficiency measures (including appropriate renewable energy at building level), and (iii) any other measures necessary to improve the accessibility, safety and operation of the building.

Component 1(b). Demolition and Reconstruction (~US$50 million IBRD Loan): This sub-component will finance contracting works for the demolition and reconstruction of public buildings where retrofitting and renovation are not technically and economically feasible. These buildings are also the ones with the highest risk coefficient during other disasters such as fire or floods. It may also be possible to increase capacity in the reconstruction process to meet increased service provision in fast-growing urban areas. Reconstructed buildings expected to be classified as Class C or higher and potentially near-zero energy buildings (NZEB); the types of energy efficiency measures for new buildings will be determined based on economic efficiency and a potentially longer payback period (e.g. up to 20 years). Materials used during disposal will be recycled and reused in appropriate jobs, as required by Turkish legislation.

Component 2. Enhanced technical assistance and capacity building (~US$5 million IBRD loan and ~US$0.75 GFDRR grant): While this Project will support a relatively narrow response of about 50 public buildings, it is expected to generate a significant amount of knowledge and support that will enable the Government to scale up seismic resilience and energy efficiency investments in thousands of other central government buildings. This Component supports the establishment of a long-term and significantly expanded investment program focused on improving the energy efficiency, structural strengthening and resilience of public buildings in Turkey. The activities and experience gained under this Component will also find wider application in Turkey, including private and residential buildings.

Component 3. Project management and implementation support (~5 million USD IBRD loan, 3-5 million USD in-kind contribution by MoEU).

This Component will finance project management and implementation support activities including, inter alia, engineering, architectural, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), individual consultancy and other necessary technical expertise; sub-project supervision; Project oversight, evaluation and reporting; communication with Project beneficiaries; training of PIU staff, etc. This Component also finances the implementation of the Bank's safeguard policies and guidelines, Project audits, gender-citizen participation and social surveys, as well as the environmental and social framework.
