Abstract
Republic of North Macedonia is a seismic prone country with a long tradition
and positive experience in the field of seismic design of new and
strengthening of the existing buildings up to pre-defined levels of seismic
protection. The principal seismic design philosophy which is stipulated in
the regulations is based on protection of human lives against strong earthquakes
and partially on controlled damage due to the so called frequent
earthquakes. The current construction practice generally target only one of
the seven basic work requirements for construction works defined in
Construction Products Regulation (CPR, 2011) i.e. mechanical resistance and
stability. Starting from 2013, when the first national regulation for energy
performance of the building was issued, there are some positive initiatives/
examples at national and local scale. These initiatives encompassed building
capacities in construction sector in order to provide competent and
qualified national workforce, necessary for achievement of national energy
efficiency targets; launching the energy efficiency programs for public
buildings at municipality level (pilot-project), research experimental program
for developing innovative technology for earthquake resistant and
energy efficiency buildings, etc. However, till today there is no integrated
methodology which will target simultaneously earthquake resistance and
eco-efficiency of the existing building stock in the country.
