Representatives of the World Bank Satisfied with the Implementation of the BEEP Project

Visits to renovated buildings in several cities in the FBiH region are underway

 

Within the works completed in July of last year, more than one million Convertible Marks were invested in the implementation of energy efficient measures at Silvija Strahimir Kranjčević Elementary School in Mostar.

 

As a matter of fact, this very educational institution was one of those visited by a delegation of the World Bank this week, led by Regional Director for Strategy and Operations for Europe and Central Asia, Mariam Sherman.

 

Within a several-day visit, the delegation, together with Project and Cantonal representatives and authorities, visited facilities in several cities of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where works were carried out within the BEEP Project.

 

On this occasion, they thoroughly analyzed the measures implemented so far, listened to personal experiences, and ultimately expressed their satisfaction with the results achieved.

 

Through the activities of the Energy Efficiency Project in BiH (BEEP),  just at Silvija Strahimir Kranjčević Elementary School several energy efficient measures have been implemented. This includes thermal insulation of the façade and roof, replacement of a part of the existing exterior joinery with new PVC carpentry, installation of a new biomass boiler, and the construction of a pellet warehouse. Ultimately, energy consumption was reduced, resulting in economic savings, but also reduced CO2 emissions.

 

For all 513 users of this institution, but also users of all the other facilities that were part of the Project, this means improvements in comfort, which is extremely significant taken into account the amount people who work and educate themselves in these institutions every day.

 

 

The World Bank Visits a Renovated Facility in Mostar

The delegation satisfied with the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Project for BiH (BEEP)

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.
