The World Bank delegation, led by the director of this international institution for the Western Balkans, Linda van Gelder, visited the Elementary School “Antun Branko Šimić” in Mostar today, an institution that was part of the Energy Efficiency Project for BiH (BEEP). Renovations on the building were finalized in April of this year, and through the energy efficient reconstruction of the building, a total of approximately 800,000 KM was invested.
The school underwent renovations for several energy efficient measures, such as thermal insulation of facades, roofs and attics, replacement of exterior joinery, and the installation of TRV and pellet storage facilities. Ultimately, these measures will result in energy savings of over 600,000 kWh per year, which will bring significant economic savings.
By implementing energy efficiency measures, better living and working conditions were created for 633 beneficiaries of this educational institution. Improving comfort is of utmost importance for younger generations, who shared their satisfaction over their now warmer and more comfortable classrooms by reciting songs about their new school to the World Bank delegation.
