The World Bank delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina, comprised of energy specialists, Kathrin Hofer and Rhedon Begolli, as well as specialists of other fields, Karina Mostipan, Lamija Marijanovic, Esma Kreso, Nenad Pavlovic and Sanja Tanic, visited the Federal Ministry of Physical Planning regarding the implementation of the B&H Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP).
Within the four-day visit, together with project representatives, the delegation visited the facilities which are a part of the BEEP project, in several cities of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On this occasion they thoroughly analyzed the measures implemented so far and expressed their satisfaction with the results achieved. At the same time, they discussed the work plans for the next year.
Another proof of the significance of this project is the recently signed contract, through which over 1.250.000,00 BAM will be invested in the reconstruction of 3 Sarajevo schools (“Electro-technical High School”, “Fifth Elementary School” in Ilidža, and elementary school “Izet Šabić”, Sarajevo). This will give these schools a new, energy-efficient robe.
Within the B&H Energy Efficiency Project, 37 public objects have been renovated in the past two years, out of which 24 are educational, 8 are health institutions, and 5 are other public facilities. In the implementation of energy efficient measures, 18,347,847.22 BAM was invested, while savings were estimated at 2,022,270.1 BAM, and the emission of CO2 was reduced by 4,900.6 (t/yr).
In addition to savings, significant social benefits such as warmer rooms, better lighting and better air quality have been achieved. This contributes to reducing health problems and improving the conditions for users. Ultimately, it is estimated that 400 thousand users of public buildings have benefited from the increase in energy efficiency.
