Description
The project envisages investments in energy efficiency through the use of energy from renewable energy sources and in particular from geothermal energy for heating and cooling in the two buildings of Kindergarten “Slantse”. The buildings, with an area of more than 8900sq.m., are public municipal property and they are located in the central part of the city of Yambol, No. 16 "Al. Stamboliyski" St. In order to increase the efficiency of the heat supply and reduce the energy costs for heating and domestic hot water supply, it is proposed to replace the fuel base and introduce RES as the main source of heat energy through a geothermal heat pump installation. The installation will provide for the needs of the buildings for maintaining normative values of the microclimate during the heating and cooling period, as well as for domestic hot water supply during the heating and transitional seasons. In order to carry out effective monitoring, the implementation of a monitoring system for energy consumption is envisaged. In regard to the fact that cooperation with organisations from donor countries is an essential element in the priority area of the project proposal, the exchange of specific experience and know-how with a partner from the Kingdom of Norway - IDN Research AS, is envisaged as project activity. Within the partnership between Yambol Municipality and the Norwegian organization, a visit of a Norwegian expert to Yambol is planned, in order to conduct a seminar for exchange of knowledge in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy, use of geothermal energy for heating or heating and cooling of municipal buildings, as well as a visit of experts from Yambol Municipality to Norway to participate in a case study workshop on the exchange of experience, knowledge and best practices in this field. Through its experience, the Norwegian partner will bring added value to the planned activities, with the beneficiary''s experts applying the knowledge gained.
Summary of project results
The energy audit of the building of the kindergarten "Sun" - block ABCG - Yambol city shows that the integrated energy characteristic of the building for primary energy is 277.21 kWh/m2 and falls into energy class "E" and does not meet the minimum energy efficiency requirements.
The energy audit of the building of the kindergarten "Sun" - block D - Yambol city. Yambol shows that the integrated energy performance of the building in terms of primary energy is 149.3 kWh/m2 and falls into energy class "C" and meets the minimum energy efficiency requirements.
This project proposal aims to implement appropriate measures to improve energy efficiency in the buildings of Kindergarten "Slantse" in the city of Yambol, through the use of energy from renewable sources. The technological renovation and modernization of the buildings, owned by Yambol Municipality, will improve the living conditions in the kindergarten, which in turn will contribute to improving the quality of educational services, which is essential for teachers, children and their parents.
The implementation of the project will contribute to the achievement of the following indicators for the implementation of the result "Increasing the production of energy from renewable sources" under the Program: - Indicator 1: Estimated annual reductions of CO2 emissions - 400.77 tons of CO2 eq .; - Indicator 2: Estimated annual generation from geothermal energy - 339.63 MWh / y; - Indicator 3: Installed capacity of the facility(s) for heating or for heating and cooling, including hot water supply (design thermal capacity) - 0.41 MW.
Summary of bilateral results
Improved bilateral cooperation with interested stakeholders in the field of energy efficiency to present good practices and future development of the city and the municipality in this regard.
