Description
The project "Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in the Municipality of Dobrich" envisages the implementation of energy efficiency measures in the building of the Sports School "GS Rakovski" and CPLR-student dormitory in Dobrich, which will improve the energy performance of the building and their transformation into a building with close to zero consumption.The project will be implemented in partnership with PIRIN HOLDING AS, based in Oslo, Norway, but with a technology and operations center located in Sofia, Bulgaria.The following activities will be implemented for the implementation of the project:1. Project management2. Awareness and publicity activities3. Construction and installation work on the building for implementation of energy-saving measures, according to the Report for an energy audit of the buildings4. Construction of facilities for the production of heat from renewable sources and heating installation in buildings5. Introduction of systems for management and monitoring of heat supply6. Exchange of experience, knowledge and good practices at management and expert level7. Construction supervision8. Author''s supervision9. Financial audit of the projectAll planned activities, budget, and project indicators comply with the Conditions for application and the Program requirements. Their implementation will respect the basic principles and values within the EEA 2014-2021, incl. good governance, sustainable development, gender equality and non-discrimination, zero tolerance for corruption
Summary of project results
The building has a total built-up area of over 10,000 sq. m. The renovation of such a large building without financial assistance is beyond the budget of the Municipality of Dobrich, which is why no major renovation initiatives have been undertaken for a long time. The outdated joinery and low level of energy efficiency and comfort have led to an outflow of people wishing to use the student dormitory. With the implementation of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency project in the Municipality of Dobrich, financed under the Program "Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Energy Security", part of the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area 2014-2021, Priority Axis "Improved Energy Efficiency in Buildings, Industry and Municipalities", Procedure: "Energy Efficiency in Buildings", this problem has been solved.
The implementation of the project includes the implementation of the following activities:
- Construction and renovation of the building for the implementation of energy-saving measures - Thermal insulation of external walls, Replacement of joinery, Thermal insulation of the roof,
- Construction of facilities for the production of heat from renewable sources and heating installation in the buildings, and
- Introduction of systems for management and monitoring of heat supply
- Exchange of experience, knowledge and good practices at the management and expert level
- Construction supervision and Author''s supervision during construction
- Activities for awareness and publicity, and project management
- Financial audit of the project
The building within the scope of the project is of mixed purpose. It houses the Sports School "G. S. Rakovski" and the Center for Professional and Personal Development - student dormitory.
With the implementation of the project, an external renovation of the entire building on the facade walls and roofs, as well as on the heating installation, was completed. The project''s goal of reducing energy consumption, reducing heating and electricity costs, and increasing living comfort has been achieved.
As a result of the project, a significant change in the characteristics of the building, a reduction in heat losses and a reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling have been achieved. The requirements for a "Building with near-zero energy consumption" have been achieved. The production of energy from renewable sources in municipal buildings in the city of Dobrich has increased. Energy efficiency in the buildings of the municipality has been improved.
An important result is also the increase in the expert capacity of the municipality''s employees in the field of renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy management.
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.
