Sarajevo, November 23rd 2018 Within the Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP), which is implemented by the Federal Ministry of Physical Planning and financed through the World Bank credit line, another five school buildings in the Zenica-Doboj Canton will receive new energy efficient features.
On this occasion, an agreement was signed between Josip Martić, the Federal Minister of Spatial Planning in BiH and representatives of the company “ITC” d.o.o. Zenica who were selected as the official contractors of the projects.
A little more than 1,200,000 BAM will be invested in the buildings and reconstruction is expected on the following institutions: “Vladimir Nazor” Elementary School Zenica, “Gymnasium” Visoko, “Second Primary School” Zavidovići, “Stjepan Radić” Secondary School Usora, and Gymnasium “Muhsin Rizvić” Kakanj. All works will be implemented in accordance with international standards in the field of energy efficiency. After the realization of the projects, besides significant savings in energy costs, a significant reduction of CO2 emissions is expected.
“In the past period through the BEEP project, eleven facilities were renovated in the Zenica-Doboj Canton, ten of which were primary and secondary schools and one of which was a hospital. Nearly 4 million KM were invested in these facilities and savings are estimated at almost 1.4 million BAM. This alone is sufficient information to show how successful cooperation has been. I am very pleased that students and employees of these public institutions will feel an increase in comfort while savings are also expected with regards to monthly costs.” – said the Minister of Spatial Planning, Josip Martić.
Reconstruction on these facilities, which includes window replacements, thermal facade installation, roof repairs, replacement of exterior carpentry, installation of boilers that use better energy sources and replacement of existing LED lighting are expected to greatly improve conditions in these institutions.
