1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC SECTOR IN B&H

2. EE in public sector is one of the main activities implemented under the programme MAINSTREAMING ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE: LINKING LOCAL AND NATIONAL ACTION IN BIH
Value 5,5 million USD
December 2009 December 2012
UNDP UNEP
UNV UNESCO FAO
Improved local level environmental planning
Enhanced management of environmental resources and delivery of environmental services
Increased national environmental awareness and action, localizing and achieving the MDGs

3. WHY ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC SECTOR?
Progress in B&H on reduction of energy consumption and related costs is very low
End energy consumption rate in buildings, facilities and installations owned and administered by public sector estimated to be 57% (goal is 30%)
Insufficient technical possibilities to control and measure actual end energy consumption (no measuring and control devices)
Awareness of citizens and decision makers on relations between causes of high end energy consumption rate, costs and possible solutions very low
EE/RES is only for the “rich”, due to prejudices that high investment are required to achieve EE
There is a direct link between public energy consumption and related cost reduction and savings in public budgets
Implementation of EE/RES can make significant financial savings that can be rechanneled into new investments and leads to green development

4. APPROACH/ METHODOLOGY
Funds made available for implementation of innovative energy efficiency projects
Cooperation and co financing from local government is preconditioned
Possible cooperation and co-financing with other donors desirable
Selection of EE/RES measures:
Energy audit – identify all possible EE/RES measures
Assessment of technical and financial feasibility
Prioritizing measures with highest Return on Investment
Monitoring of results through Energy Management Information System - EMIS

5. SELECTION CRITERIA
Cities that have joined EU Covenant of Mayors and voluntarily committed to EU “ ” targets and developed or developing Sustainable Energy Action Plan - SEAP
A complete set of EE/RES measures can be designed and implemented within reasonable budget (technical and financial feasibility)
Project deals with a standardized problem (like: EE of typical school, EE of health care centres, public lighting, etc. )
Project pilots and promotes innovative ideas such as solar energy, fuel switch to biomass, LED illumination, etc.
Project and its results can be presented as an exemplary, complete solution of a typical problem, with big potential for large scale replication

9. OVERVIEW OF EE PROJECTS

10. MONITORING OF RESULTS AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Energy Management Information System (EMIS)  is a web application for monitoring and analyzing energy and water consumption in all public buildings entered in the system.
Initially developed by the UNDP Croatia, almost USD 1 mill. has been invested in development and maintenance of the application
EMIS is under implementation in 10 local communities in BiH:
Sarajevo 2. Banja Luka
Travnik 4. Trebinje
Bihac 6. Prijedor
Gradiska 8. Tuzla
Bijeljina 10. Tuzla canton

11. MONITORING OF RESULTS AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Analysis of data entered in EMIS enables experts to identify excessive consumption, identify and implement energy efficiency measures which result in
lower energy consumption and hence lower GHG emissions
significant financial savings for municipal budgets.
In addition, EMIS introduction:
Establishes register of all buildings owned by a city/municipality
Establishes EE and EE management teams
Results so far
100 buildings registered in EMIS
More than 70 public employees have been trained in EMIS and more than 100 registered users

14. ADDITIONAL IMPACT OF THE PROGRAMME
Developed capacities of local communities to prioritize and implement EE/RES through:
Integrating EE/RES concerns into LEAP and SEAP development
Implementation of pilot EE/RES projects
Implementation and use of EMIS
Introduction of EU standards and techniques
Increased awareness of general population and stakeholders on EE/RES
Increased local actions towards improvement of EE and introduction of RES:
Una-Sana Canton initiated development of energy audits for all schools and hospitals in the canton in order to establish baseline of energy consumption, identify measures for reduction of energy consumption and introduction of RES.
In coordination with relevant education ministries in the country, MDG-F programme started assessment on EE/RES in primary schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina that will result with recommendations for improvement of EE/RES in this sector.

15. OWNERSHIP/ SUSTAINABILITY
High-level of co-financing from local to national levels shows committment
Designated National Authority finally functional and assessing CDM proposals (so far one for retro-fitting a cement factory and the other a series of mini-hydro power plants)
Energy issues for the first time systematically integrated into planning documents (37 new LEAPs all with energy components).
11 new SEAPs with comprehensive energy planning in some of the largest towns in BiH, which therefore provide excellent role models for neighboring municipalities (before the JP, 2 had been done, in Banja Luka, then Sarajevo). Simultaneously these 11 towns are committed to the EU Covenant of Mayors and therefore committed to the EU targets.
During the JP implementation, UNDP supported one of the entity Funds for environment in a change of legislation in terms of inclusion of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. Now, as of last year RS Fund for environment and enegy efficiency and renewable energy sources is supporting grants for all three sectors.
In the same manners, UNDP is supporting a change of legislation in other two funds (Federal and Brcko district) to do the same. All three will be harmonized and in accordance to EU standars/legislation.
