Implementation of Energy Efficiency Measures for 13 New Facilities in FBiH
New investments in energy efficiency worth 4.3 million BAM
Following the renewal of 18 public buildings in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina last year, within the framework of the World Bank BEEP project (Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project), the implementation of energy efficiency measures continues this year.
By signing contracts with contractors, new investments have been planned for 13 public buildings, in Zenica-Doboj Canton (five facilities), Canton 10 (two facilities), Canton Sarajevo (one building) and facilities of importance for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (five facilities).
The total investment will cover 6 educational institutions, 2 health institutions, and 5 other public buildings, as stated by the Federal Minister of Physical Planning Josip Martić upon signing the contract. He added: “I am happy to see that energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important topic. I can proudly point out that we are very pleased with last year’s results and that its positive effects have transferred into this year. The multiple benefits of such development projects have already been widely recognized and we are delighted when through their implementation, we can improve the conditions in public buildings but also achieve significant savings in energy costs and CO2 emissions.”
Implementation of energy efficiency measures for the renovation of public buildings is part of the largest energy efficiency project in Bosnia and Herzegovina – BEEP (Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project), which, in the period from 2015 to 2018, is investing 32 million USD, 19.23 million USD of which was allocated to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The project is implemented in public facilities in the fields of education and health through the implementation of measures such as window replacements, installation of thermo facades, improvement of heating systems and others.
