Description

Poland has many public buildings that are in poor technical conditions. This results in high energy consumption for heating of buildings and large emissions into the atmosphere. These problems are perceived in Poland and are reflected in the strategies and plans for the development of the country and for municipalities. The aim of the project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and to reduce the operating costs of public buildings. This will be achieved through modernization of buildings and through the use of renewable heat sources. The project will improve the energy efficiency of public buildings through: 1) Increase of the number of public utility buildings with thermal modernization - 2 buildings; 2) Increase of the number of replaced / modernized heat sources - 2 pieces; 3) Increase of the number of installed machines, equipment or installations using renewable energy - 3 pieces; 4) Increase power of installed machines, equipment or installations using renewable energy - 0,544 MW. The project, in addition to benefiting the environment, will benefit users of public buildings, students, teachers, and inhabitants of the municipality.

Summary of project results

The aim of the project was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and to reduce the operating costs of public utility buildings. This was achieved through modernization of buildings. Thermomodernisational works covered 3 public utility buildings (including 2 schools). Within the project over 3,3 of m2 of partition were insulated, installed were 3 biomass boilers and solar collectors. Modernised was interioir installation. Investment allowed to reduce CO2 emission (570 Mg/year) and increase energy production from RES (1446 MWh/year). The project, in addition to benefiting the environment, benefit also users of public buildings, students, teachers, and inhabitants of the Rajgród municipality.
