BEEP continues with its activities. Another clinical center was retrofitted according to international standards; this time, a clinic in Tuzla.
As a part of biggest energy efficiency project in Bosnia and Herzegovina World Bank “Bosnia energy efficiency project” (BEEP) , shortly after the opening of the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology in Sarajevo, energy efficiency measures were being implemented on the selected object in Tuzla.
The Clinical Center in Tuzla, namely the surgical disciplines building, was retrofit according to the international standards and energy efficiency measures were implemented. Thermal insulation of facades was built in, with 10 cm of total thickness of facades on an area of more than 4,800 m2. A total of 607 worn out openings were also replaced with new openings that have a very low coefficient of heat. The implemented system also helps because it assures automatic temperature control.
“We are proud that today we have the honor to officially open the retrofitted surgical disciplines building in the Clinical Center in Tuzla. Just as a reminder, the World Bank project “Energy Efficiency in Bosnia” for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has started in December 2015., and here we are today ready to officially open the retrofitted building. This of course, would not be possible without the absolute support that we have received and the very good understanding between all parties involved in the project – representatives of beneficiaries, representatives of contractors and supervision, and also from the the project Steering Committee and whole team of PIU. The works, carried out by domestic companies, have been completed on time, and will help to achieve the project objectives, but also demonstrate the benefits of energy efficiency. As it is well known, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a fairly high level of energy inefficiency, but, on the other hand, significant potential in this field, as well,” said the head of the World Bank Project for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mustafa Čopelj.
According to the previous calculations, the expected savings on an annual basis are 126.000 BAM. Specific and accurate data on energy savings will be available in the coming winter season, considering that under this project permanent equipment for measurement of energy consumption was installed, also measuring the temperature and humidity.
As announced by the implementation unit, Psychiatric Hospital of the University Clinical Hospital Mostar will also open soon
