Winter is in Bosnia and Herzegovina for several times showed its teeth. One of the example is the last year when we were all surprised at extremely low temperatures, which is why beginning of the second half was delayed, is in several schools.

After implemented measures of energy efficiency, installation of thermal insulation on facades, reconstruction of roofs, installation of thermostatic valves on radiators, replacing the old woodwork and boilers, replacing the old woodwork and boilers, and parents no longer have to worry about staying children in cold classrooms.
In the past two years in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 20 school buildings have been renewed, 15 primaries and 5 secondary schools in several cantons in the Federation B&H, with an investment of almost 9 million BAM.
