Description

Description (EN):

The energy and access to energy at affordable prices is a key precondition for development of any society. However, its production and its use significantly affect the environment, causing pollution that knows no state boundaries-such as global warming and climate change. We know that there is a widely available EE technology in the world that can be implemented at the local level already today, but it is still not happening, and the pressures on the environment rise on daily basis. Why is this so, if we know that the environment knows no boundaries? Local public authorities do not have enough resources to individually implement such investments; they do not have enough of experience nor staff educated to work within EE&RES sector. The project IRENE takes place in 3 regions that cover significant proportion of the surface in CBA. If we consider that each of these regions is divided in cities/municipalities (ZC in 34, HNC in 9 and BBA in 3 municipalities), and if we add all the companies, institutions and organizations owned by the cities/municipalities together with their facilities, buildings, public areas, etc. that brings us closer to the image of the size of public sector and the volume of public energy consumption in these 3 regions! The main objective of the project is to protect and preserve environment and encourage sustainable use of natural resources in border regions through joint development and networking of local energy management systems in CBA for fostering energy efficiency and renewable energy system utilization in public sector. The cross-border added value was given through development of joint EE&RES project database network and new initiatives, as well as through investments in total 11 lighting systems and 1 solar system in more than dozen various locations, covering total 2 cities (Zadar and Mostar) and 11 small towns/villages (Smilčić, Korlat, Lisičić, Bibinje, Vinjerac, Gajine, Galovac, Privlaka, Neum, Jablanica and Tivat).

Expected Results (EN): Energy consumption by public buidings in the programme area

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project takes place in 3 regions: ZC, HNC and BBA that cover significant proportion of the surface in CBA. If we consider that each of these regions is divided in cities/municipalities (ZC in 34, HNC in 9 and BBA in 3 municipalities), and if we add all the companies, institutions and organizations owned by the cities/municipalities together with their facilities, buildings, public areas, etc. that brings us closer to the image of the size of public sector and the volume of public energy consumption in these 3 regions. The central point of the project IRENE is to enable and to motivate local authorities in ZC, HNC and BBA to introduce EE&RES within their facilities, thus directly contributing to the reducing en.consumption by public buildings in the CBA. This will be achieved by accomplishing following set of results: 1) Improved management and technical capacities of public institutions in implementing EE&RES-enabling local authorities to identify EE problems within their facilities, 2) Expanded joint web integrated network for managing EE&RES projects in CBA-enabling the possibility for merging several project ideas into one project to find better financing opportunities 3) Implemented new EE&RES technologies on demonstrative locations in ZC, HNC and BBA-directly reducing en.consumption by public facilities in CBA and 4) Raised awareness on benefits of introducing EE and sustainable use of natural resources in CBA area-encouraging more local authorities to implement EE.
