Month: December 2016

Elementary School «Hašim Spahić» from Ilijaš joined large number of facilities in which measures of energy efficiency was implemented in scope of BEEP (B&H Energy Efficiency Project).  Energy efficient investment in this school implied replacement of ventilation, thermo isolation, hydraulic balanced heating system and repairing of heating substation. Investment costs in reconstruction was 450 thousand KM, and estimated year savings energy costs are estimated to around 50 thousand KM.

 
Opening ceremonial of reconstructed energy efficient school was endorsed by Elmedin Konaković, Prime Minister of Sarajevo Kanton, Elvir Kazazović, Minister of Education, Science and Youth KS, Jasmin Helebić, Minister of Finance and, and Amar Dovadžija, representative in Sarajevo Canton Assembly.  ”I would like to congratulate to reconstruction exponent, because reconstruction works ended in deadline. I am very pleased that teachers and pupils from this school gained better conditions for work. And how much important this project is, I can feel only by entering the warm school premises” – Prime Minister Konaković stated.

 

BEEP Project Manager for Federation BiH Mustafa Čopelj said that the construction works were carried out according to high standards of World Bank who provided credit fonds for realisation of biggest project of energy efficiency – BEEP.

 

“We are so proud to a fact that Government of Kanton Sarajevo showed interest for this project, and their support means so much to us, because energy efficiency has numerous benefits for population and environment preservation, as well as process of joining to European Union” – Mr Čopelj emphasised, and added: “I am glad that thanks to these investments this school will earn finance savings. This is a small school of big potential, whose teachers and pupils deserve to work in better conditions.

 

BEEP is the biggest energy efficient project in the country, worth 19,23 million USD for the  Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina part.  Activities and goals which were accomplished in the scope of project involves decreasing of CO2 emission, maximizes secure working conditions in reconstructed facilities, and public awareness development about energy efficiency.

Beep Project educates youth about energy efficiency benefits

As part of the biggest Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project – BEEP in five primary schools in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina workshops were organized about energy efficiency. Goal of workshops was to introduce children to smart usage of energy, which they have to accept and use in everyday life, in their homes or schools.

 

More of 250 pupils watched animated movie about causes and effects of climate changes on Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FhlhEDqtso. After film screening, children met its main character Beepster.

 

”Your Planet is suffering” –Beepster warned pupils, and invited them to became little heroes and with their energy efficient behaviour save Planet Earth.  Beepster also gave them some advices: “Don’t leave running water, use compact fluorescent lamp, plant a tree.” He addressed his messages to more than 250 pupils from Primary School in Mostar, Primary school “Crnići” from Stolac, Primary School “Hašim Spahić” from Ilijaš, Primary School “Hamdija Kreševljaković” from Kakanj and Primary School “Musa Ćazim Ćatić” from Zenica.

 

Beepster also introduced children to energy efficient behaviour with help of his unique machine “Beepomat”, which illustrates how irrational usage of energy from fossil fuels leads to global warming. But surprises for children kept coming. Termovisional camera that shows how much energy consumes even when electrical appliances are on stand by mode.

 

This faze of project Beep reflects strong need to different energy saving mechanisms which starts on individual level. Beepsters message was not addressed only to children. It is truth which each individual should carry on for the future generations. Each individual who considers about future, with his responsible behaviour can become hero, and secure sustainable and ecology oriented development of Planet Earth.

 

Superhero Beepster visited students of the primary school “Musa Cazim Catic“ in Zenica and conveyed a very important message.

 

“You planet, your only home is in grave danger.“ – said Beepster to surprised students. Energy is spent every time someone leave the lights on during the day or leaves their charger plugged in without charging their phone, tablet or other device. In order to produce that energy, a large amount of carbon dioxide, which directly affects climate change, had to be create somewhere.

 

Together with Beepster, students saw an animated movie on causes and consequences of climate change and gained practical advice on how they, themselves can become heroes which will change the world thus saving the planet Earth.

 

Beepomat, device that teaches smart use of energy, was also presented during the workshop, together with a thermo-imagining camera which shows how much energy is spent when a device is left in a stand-by mode.

 

Besides primary school “Musa Cazim Catic“ in Zenica, Beepster has also visited primary school “Crnici“ in Stolac, “Hamdija Kresevljakovic“ in Kakanj, ”Fourth Primary school” in Mostar and “Hasim Spahic“ in Sarajevo.

Fifth grade students from the primary school “Hamdija Kresevljakovic“ in Kakanj, were trilled to meet the superhero Beepster who gave them useful tips and ways of how to use energy more efficiently.

 

Our only home, planet Earth is facing the dangers of massive climate changes. Deforestation, construction of factories, petrol and diesel fueled cars, consumption of energy has turned planet Earth’s big friend carbon dioxide (CO2) into her biggest foe. Excessive burning of fossil fuels, in order to get energy, releases surplus of carbon dioxide (CO2) which leads to global warming.

 

“You do not want floods, droughts and world without forests.“ – exclaimed Beepster, sharing his advices for smarter use of energy. Beepster added, “Do not leave the water running. Use energy saving bulbs, plant a tree. With your actions you can become heroes and change the world.“

 

Beepster introduced a thermo-imaging camera, which shows how much energy is lost when a device is left in a stand-by mode. Students were also enthusiastic with the Beepomat, a device that teaches energy efficient behaviour. They showed great deal of interest in animated movie dedicated to consequences of the climate changes on Earth.

Super hero Beepster visited the «Hašim Spahić» primary school in Ilijaš, in order to teach the students how to be energy efficient at home and at school.

 

Planet Earth is in a great danger, because it is warming rapidly. By cutting forests, building plants, by using petrol and diesel vehicles, Earth’s great friend, carbon dioxide, becomes its greatest enemy. Numerous human activities and excessive use of fossil fuels release too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which leads to the global warming.

 

Because of that Beepster visited the students and told them that Earth is in a great danger. “Turn off lights, computers, television, and other equipment which uses energy when not used. Let the sun in your homes. Instead of using a car, take a walk or ride a bike. Be energy efficient, and help the only home you have, the planet Earth.” – the super hero said to the students.

 

He introduced to them the Beepomat, a device which teaches them smart energy use, as well as to the thermal imager, which shows how much energy is lost when a device is on a standby mode. The students also watched an animated film about the climate change and learned advices with which they can change the world.

 

Beespter continues his “green journey” in primary schools: ”Musa Ćazim Ćatić”, in Zenica and ”Hamdija Kreševljaković”, in Kakanj.

Numerous students of the fifth grade primary school “Crnici“ in Stolac, were surprised with the visit of superhero Beepster who came to convey a very important message about the planet Earth.

 

“Your planet is suffering!“ – exclaimed Beepster and rallied the students, mini heroes, to save it from global warming, which has a considerable impact on the future of the Earth and its inhabitants.

 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) enables the atmosphere to retain a part of solar radiation and heat thus preventing the cooling of the Earth and radiation of heat into the space. Due to excessive use of fossil fuels, by which we gain energy, significant amounts of carbon dioxide are released which leads to global warming. Increased temperatures cause natural disasters, such as droughts and floods, contribute to melting of the glaciers which in turn raises the level of seas and oceans, forces forests to retreat to higher altitudes and similar.

 

Beepomat, device which teaches energy efficient behaviour, was of particular interest to students. Beepster also introduced them to a super thermal imagining camera, that shows how much energy is lost when devices are left in a stand-by mode. Students were also shown an animated movie on climate changes on Earth and smart use of energy.

 

Beepster will also visit primary schools “Hasim Spahic“ in Sarajevo, “Musa Cazim Catic“ in Zenica as well as the primary school “Hamdija Kresevljakovic“ in Kakanj.

Superhero Beepster visited fifth grade students of the Fourth Primary school in Mostar in order to relay a very important message concerning the planet Earth.

 

He explained to students, in an engaging way, that burning of fossil fuels does produce energy but that it also produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. That gas enables the atmosphere to retain a part of the solar radiation and heat, thus preventing cooling of the Earth and radiation of heat into the space. At the same time, high consumption of fossil fuels everyday creates excessive amounts of this gas. This leads to global warming, which significantly affects the Earth’s climate.

 

During the workshop, Beepster also presented his Beepomat, device which teaches the students how to be energy efficient and helps them to become heroes that will save the planet Earth. But surprises did not end there! Beepster introduced a thermo-imaging camera, which shows how much energy is lost when a device is left in a stand-by mode.

 

This superhero also presented an animated movie to the students, that is dedicated to causes and consequences of climate changes on Earth.

 

 

Beepster will continue his trip in primary schools “Crnici“ in Stolac, “Musa Cazim Catic“ in Zenica, “Hamdija Kresevljakovic“ in Kakanj as well as “Hasim Spahic“ in Sarajevo.

The BEEP project – (Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project) has many goals, from developing public awareness of the importance of energy efficiency to conserving energy and environmental protection. But one of the most important goals is informing students about the energy efficiency importance. That is how the online game “BEEPomania” was created. Its goal was to educate young people about the sustainable future of energy.

 

In BEEPomania, participants explored all the possibilities and the advantages of the efficient use of energy in their own homes and created an energy efficient virtual home. More than 8.000 students from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina participate and they had the opportunity to win excellent prizes.

 

The most points and the main prizes were won by two participants from Sarajevo, and fifteen participants from Tešanj, Mostar, Zenica, Kakanj, and Sarajevo won surprise awards.

 

The story about the efficient energy management education doesn’t end with BEEPomania. In the coming period, as a part of the project, a superhero called Beepster, will visit several elementary schools in order to convey an important message about the planet Earth to students.

 

Students were excited by BEEPomanija, and this is confirmed by compliments and numerous positive comments.

 

“The game is really interesting. I had the greatest fun while playing the memory game, which helped me and was very useful in learning new advices. I also liked the advice on the use of the energy-saving light bulbs. I immediately changed my old ones in my home with the help of my parents.”, said Hana Isić, a participant from Mostar.

 

“The game is awesome, and I really had much fun. I would like to make my own energy efficient home someday, just like the one in the game, especially the solar panels, because the solar energy is important.”, told Fatima Huseinspahić from Zenica.

 

Main awards were won by Anel Mandal and Ajdin Garibović from Sarajevo. Surprise awards were won by: Iman Kantić from Tešanj, Sidik Ahmetspahić and Fatima Huseinspahić from Zenica, Amina Husnić, Haris Kukrica, Admir Husković, Adna Husković, Hana Isić, Samra Mesihović, Edis Maksumić from Mostar, Muhamed Čehajić and Nermin Arnaut from Kakanj and Rabija Tahić from Sarajevo.

 

The BEEP project is the biggest energy efficiency project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, worth USD 19,23 million for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina component.
