Description
The main local problem identified and addressed to the project goals is high energy consumption and emission intensity of many buildings in the municipality as well as low social awareness of the need to solve the ecological and social problems resulting from above, especially in owners of outdated buildings/premises ("attachment to silesian tradition") and low readiness to apply for external funds for thermal modernization and renewable energy. The project is strictly in line with the EU, national and local strategic documents: postulates contained in the European Green Deal, the EU strategy until 2050, EPBD; National Air Protection Program, National Plan for Energy and Climate 2021-2030, National Strategy for Regional Development the 2030, Poland''s energy policy; Air Protection Program For the Opolskie Voivodeship. The project is ment to motivate the local community as the positive example of the use of external funds (in this case Norway and EEA funds) to more effective implementation of this type of modernisations and become beneficiaries of their effects. As a result the environmental footprint of 12 school buildings will significantly improve, as well as operational indicators and local awareness of the benefits resulted from thermomodernization and the use of renewable energy will increase (two target groups: adults residents using non-ecological stoves and students and teachers with institutions covered by the project). Planned results: reduction of app. 95% of annual CO2 emissions from buildings incl. in the project, final en. savings by app.60% and primary en. by approx. 90%, increase in energy production from RES by 93%. Added value resulting from strengthening of bilateral relations: acquiring new methodologies, experience and instilling practices, how to effectively transfer Norwegian standards of ecological attitude (resulted from high unconscious competences) to educational process adequate to be effectively adopted in conditions of Polish school.
