Description

The buildings covered by the project do not meet the requirements of energy efficiency, which has both environmental and cost implications. The increased demand for thermal energy increases CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, as well as emissions of local air pollution which negatively affects the quality of life of people living in the area. The objective of the project is to improve the energy efficiency of 4 administrative buildings belonging to the University. The project foresees improving the energy efficiency of buildings. It will bring total annual reduction of final energy demand by more than 56% and a decrease in CO2 emissions by 46%. The aim of the project will be achieved through the following activities: i) insulation of external walls, roofs and attics, ii) replacement of doors and windows, iii) modernization of the heating system by installing new radiators with thermostats, iv) installing energy saving battery in toilets, v) replacing lighting by LED lamps, and vi) through the modernization of three connecting nodes. The project beneficiaries, in addition to the environment, are the students and employees of the University.

Summary of project results

As buildings covered by the project prior do not meet the requirements of energy efficiency, needed was its thermomodernisation. Works covered 4 public utility buildings of University. External walls, roofs and attics were insulated (over 20 thousands of m2), over 2 thousands of doors and windows replaced. Heating system was modernised by installing new radiators with thermostats, modernised were also 3 heating nodes. In toilets installed were energy saving batteries. Lighting has been replaced by LED lamps. Investment allowed to reduce CO2 emission (3266 Mg/year). Project benefits environment and students and employees of the University.
