Projects’ budget

Partners Mazovian Energetic Agency Gynaecology and Obstetrics Hospital in Warsaw City of Warsaw – the leader of the project

Implementing the RES (solarand geothermal energy)and utilizing cogenerationin the selected objects in Warsaw

Subject

2 school buildings in the Śródmieście (Downtown) District – installation of the solar collectors and heat pumps

1 school and 1 nursery building in the Białołęka District – installation of the solar collectors

Cogeneration in the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Hospitalin Warsaw

Duration

July 2007– June 2013

• 4 investments - completed

• cogeneration in the hospital – planned for2012-2013

increased use of energy from renewable sources

and produced in cogeneration in public buildings

of Warsaw to help to enhance their energy efficiency

and creation of environmentally friendly infrastructure

Main objective

The specific objectives

• reduction of emissions, including mainly carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere

• diversification of energy sources

• increasing of the energy efficiency of public buildings

• increased use of renewable energy sources, including solarand biothermal energy

• reducing the cost of heat and electricity

• increasing energy savings in buildings

• improvement of the technical infrastructure of buildings

Cogeneration = energy saving

Trigeneration technological system for the hospital

Trigeneration: a combination of thermal and mechanical/electrical technology combined with the cold production, designed to reducethe amount and cost of primary energy, necessary to produce eachof these forms of energy separately

In heating systems, in the summer, it improves economic efficiencyof electricity production, combined with the heat along with the low demand of the heat and existing demand for the cold

• Combined energy production reduces fuel consumption by up to 30-50% compared witha split electricity and heat production

Cogeneration = energy saving

Complementarity of the projectto the international projects

Main assumptions

To develop, implement and disseminate a common, openand transparent European method - taking into account

the existing solutions - sustainability assessmentof buildings at the stage of their project planning

and the investment itself

Specific goals

Initiating the networking of institutions, administration, developers, investors, distributors, manufacturers, architects, engineers, craftsmen and users

Creating a roadmap for cooperation between industry and science, focused on high-risk long-term projects, consistent with the principles of sustainable development

Defining the non-technological barriers that cause limitationsin the implementation of solutions on the market

The public consultation in order to encourage communitiesto implement new solutions

Current state

The partnership has developed the

initial version of OPEN HOUSE

method and has chosen the

buildings on which this method will

be tested Capital City of Warsaw indicated the

Bielany District Hall (built in 2009)

to evaluate the building in terms

of sustainability
