Implementation of energy efficiency works on six buildings in ZDK in progress
The Federal Ministry of Physical Planning is currently implementing the largest energy efficiency project in B&H, Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project, which is for the Federation of B&H funded by the World Bank, with a total value of USD 19.2 million.
This is the second year of successful project realization where last year’s energy efficiency measures were implemented on 18 public facilities, while the plan for this year is 19 public facilities, mainly schools and hospitals.
In Zenica-Doboj Canton, five public buildings were renovated in 2016 (four schools and one hospital) with a total investment of over 2 million BAM. This year, the plan is to rebuild the six schools, with a total investment of 1.7 million BAM. Planned work will be realized in accordance with world standards in the field of energy efficiency.
As with most other facilities, works on these facilities of the primary schools “Gazi Ferhad-beg” Jablanica, “Vareš Majdan” Vareš, “15 april” Kakanj, “21 mart” Doboj Jug, “Ivana fra Frane Jukića” Usora and “Rizah Odžekčić” Zavidovići high school, mainly include replacements of joinery and locksmiths, installation of thermal insulation and heating improvements, as well as equipment for measuring energy consumption and for monitoring temperature and humidity. In addition, energy management will be established, also.
Activities to be implemented within the project, will ensure a reduction in CO2 emissions which means the transition to cleaner energy sources reduction of air pollution during the winter period caused by improper and inefficient combustion of fuel, increase the level of comfort in the objects, and raising awareness of energy efficiency. In addition to a more comfortable stay, significant savings in energy costs are expected, and ultimately contributing to significant saving and environmental protection.
Negotiations for project implementation are currently underway in 2018.
