Energy Modernization of Public Buildings

Опис:

Energy modernization is required for public buildings in one administrative district:

• 31 kindergartens;
• 23 schools;
• 6 hospitals.

It includes:

• thermal insulation of exterior walls;
• installation of energy-efficient windows (insulated glazing units) and external doors;
• installation of local recuperative heat exchangers and automated individual heat supply units;
• modernization of the heating distribution system;
• replacement of electric lamps with their LED counterparts;
• implementation of an energy management system.

Expected Results:

• annual energy consumption reduction by 44.5 GWh/year, with annual savings of about 1.5 mln euros;
• halved heat consumption for the buildings heating;
• power consumption reduction by 1.3 for interior lighting of the buildings;
• environmental condition improvement through reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the heat and power generation sources;
• reduction in CO2 emissions by 63% per year.

Current Status:

A demonstration project (secondary school No.153) was completed with the financial support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH by September 2017. The project included replacement
of all the windows, insulation of the building elevation, partial repair and insulation of the roof, insulation of the
basement, repair of the entrance spaces.

A feasibility study has been carried out for the abovementioned 60 public buildings in one district
within the USAID-funded “Municipal Energy Reform in Ukraine”.
Negotiations are ongoing with IFIs as to their support of the project. Kharkiv is interested in development of similar energy modernization projects in different public sectors of other districts involving modernization of educational, cultural and social public buildings.
