Description

The main objective of the project is rehabilitation of four buildings to reduce the energy consumption and decrease CO2 emissions. The four buildings subject of the investment are three schools and one high-school: Negureni School, Faurei School, Baneasa School and Baneasa High school. The location of the investment is in Baneasa Commune, Constanta County. The specific objective is to reduce the annual consumption of energy in the four public buildings by 492.24 MW/year and to decrease annual CO2 emissions by 140.19 tonnes per year.

In order to reduce CO2 emissions in public buildings by rehabilitation works developed in all 4 public buildings, and hence reducing the energy financial costs, the Project Promoter will develop a series of measures. In all the schools, the thermal resistance will be increased by insulting the walls with expanded polystyrene. The windows and doors will be replaced in all the schools and the lighting systems will be replaced with LED lighting sources. Finally, they will install solar panels for producing heat and hot water. The key activities include:

  • External consultancy which includes financial audit.
  • Investment activities.
  • Project management by internal team.
  • Publicity to ensure the visibility of the project.

The results of the project will have a positive impact on the development of the Baneasa Commune because of the savings that will be registered by the reduction of the electricity costs and CO2 emission reduction.

Summary of project results

The project  aimed to rehabilitate four public buildings in order to make them energy efficient by reducing energy consumption and decreasing CO2 emissions.

    The project involved a series of works for 4 public schools, located in Constanta county: Negureni School, Faurei School, Baneasa School and Baneasa High school. In all schools, the thermal resistance was increased by insulting the walls with expanded polystyrene. The windows and doors were replaced and the lighting systems were replaced with LED lighting sources. Solar panels were installed for producing heat and hot water.

    Following the implementation of the project, the annual energy consumption was reduced by 492.24 MW/year and the annual CO2 emissions  were decreased by 140.19 tonnes. The main beneficiaries of the project are the pupils, while the project has indirect  impact on the entire community.
