Energy Efficiency

SUBSIDIES FOR THE INVESTORS IN LOW ENERGY CONSTRUCTION

Karpos Municipality promoted the first commercial low energy building, constructed by company "VENS Engineering". High energy standards are incorporated in already built building, making it first candidate to receive an "energy passport" A-category according to the EU categorization.

TRAINING FOR EXCITE ENERGY MANAGERS AND CLIMATE ADMINISTRATOR

Training for the position of Energy Managers and Climate Administrator for ExCITE software was held in mid November 2011. Representatives from Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, Energy Agency and regional municipal offices were educated how to use the data in the software for future development of policy documents in the area of energy efficiency.

Climate regions map

This map was prepared within the project, to assist relevant stakeholders in calculations related to energy efficiency. The developed climate map and parameters show unambiguously which requirements apply for each location in the country.Maps have proven useful as an effective way to enable code users to determine climate dependant requirements. In the context of building regulations, climate zones are regions which are of sufficiently similar climate that a common solution for energy efficiency measures is possible and justifiable.

The whole country is divided in 4 climate regions according to degree day (DD), i.e from 2100-2300; 2300-2500; 2500-2700; 2700-2900 DD. Each municipality belongs to certain climate region. Selected referent stations (one for each climate region) from Hydro meteorological Institute are: Skopje, Bitola, Berovo and Demir Kapija. Selected referent stations (one for each climate region) from the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning are: Skopje – Gazi baba, Bitola, Kavadarci and Kocani.

ExCITE software

In order to strengthen the capacities of the local government units a software was produced by the project, comprising the databases for climatological parameters and the inventory data - External Climate and Inventory Tool for Energy efficiency application (ExCITE).

ExCITE is a software tool that connects processes of entering data for buildings, street lighting, energy consumption and energy expenses on the one side and climatologically data needed for calculating energy performance on the other. For ease of use and access the software is conceived as an internet application.

That way the software application can be used as an important link between the central government and local authorities and as tool for meeting the responsibilities under the new Law on Energy. This software offers a standardized format of reporting to Governmental Institutions on the energy consumption of public buildings. The energy teams were trained on the usage of the ExCITE software in nov-dec 2010.

The ExCITE software was deployed on 1 July 2011. All municipalities received their specific username and password.
