Energy Efficiency

TOGETHER TOWARDS ENERGY EFFICIENCY

In an interview for MTV, UNDP Project Manager Ilija Sazdovski stated that the main objectives of the Energy Efficiency project, jointly implemented with the Ministry of Environment and financed by the Austrian Development Cooperation, are to contribute to the processes of reducing the energy consumption in residential and public buildings, regulate energy losses and greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the country’s energy independence.

An internet based system of energy monitoring for the local governments has been established, allowing the calculation of CO2 emissions and tracking of energy expenses per building at local level. “This is an excellent tool for decision makers on both national and local level, and important for the ongoing implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive”, Sazdovski said. He added that training materials on energy efficiency monitoring techniques have been developed and a total of 200 representatives of the local municipal energy efficiency teams have been trained.

Also, a study tour to the Czech Republic was carried out for the representatives of 12 municipalities in cooperation with the Czech Trust Fund, enabling them to exchange best practices and lessons learnt with their Czech counterparts.
