General objectives, specific objectives and measurable effect

Undertaking energy-efficient, energy savings and renewable energy measures in order to reduce pollution of the living environment especially with greenhouse gases.

Specific objectives:
1. Reducing emission of carbon dioxide in the public buildings in the Municipalities
2. Reducing costs for energy in the public buildings in the Municipalities
3. Theoretical and practical training of the local populace on energy efficiency and renewable energy resources.
Measurable effect:
1. Reduction of the emission of the greenhouse gases for at least 15% after the insulation of the buildings
2. Reduction of the costs for electricity for at least 15% after the insulation of the buildings
3. Reduced heating expenses on annual level
Education and training:
The implementation of energy efficiency techniques trainings is taught in both theory and practice.
The theoretical part of the training is completed in one day, a time during which the participants were introduced with the basis of energy efficiency, energy saving options and renewable sources of energy. The practical part of the training lasted from 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of the building and it consist of fitting silicon stripes, replacing broken widow glass, repairing broken or damaged wooden window frames, and so. The solar energy system construction trainings were conducted only in practice in 5 to 7 days. The first part was teaching the basics for constructing a solar panel, and the second part was reserved for the installation of the solar energy system
The training takes part during the school year so that it is more accessible to both the pupils and their parents.
The fitting of the energy-efficient light bulbs in the buildings and on the lampposts, the reflectors with sensors in the buildings, the photo relays for street lighting, the springs for door closing, the replacing of the water batteries and electric heating with natural gas heating by placing two gas stoves in the kindergarten was completed during the schools summer holiday with help from the schools caretakers, and for the street lighting, together with the public service responsible for it.
The educational materials were prepared by the already existing and available material in English, provided by international educational network School Project for Application of Energy and Resources (SPARE), adapted to the local needs. The material is in Macedonian, Albanian and Roma having in mind the demography of the communities’ populace.
