3. FINAL ENERGY CONSUMTPTION IN CROATIA

4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY POTENTIAL IN CROATIA
Smart measurment – smart grid –smart energy service: efficiency and quality in use – cost optimized
Total financial potential in refurbishment projects is 95 billion Eur until 2050
Refurbishment mesures:
Final energy consumption in Croatia
2050 households
Housing stock are 50% of new units and existing achieved higher energy performance – heating demand 27 kWh/m2
Heating system use: 40% modern biomass, 30% heat pumps, 20% district heating, 10% natural gas, 30% DHW by solar thermal
2050 services and public sector
Total surface increase
heating demand 25 kWh/m2

11. CURRENT PROGRAMS
Ministry of construction and phisical planning (MGIPU)
Cofinanced by FZOEU
Energy refurbishment programs (EE and RES):
family houses
mulitresidential buildings
public buildings 2014 – 2015 in cooperation with APN
public buildings 2016 – 2020 in cooperation with APN
commercial non residential buildings
Pilot projects:
Preparation of design documentation for energy refurbishment of public education buildings – end 2020, 4,5 M Kn available
Energy refurbishment of public education buildings – end 2020, 50 M Kn available

12. Energy refurbishment program for non-residential (commercial) buildings
36 M m2 of non residential buildings
moslty built before 1987, heat energy demand kWh
Refurbishment goal A+, A and B energy class
Eligible costs: external envelope, centralized heating system with RES, centralized cooling and ventilation with RES, centralized hot water preparation system with RES, lighting system improvement, water system efficiency, CNUS system, construction of new low energy and passive buildings
Subsidies or no interest loans
Not active
Open call for use of RES systems in tourist sector

13. Energy refurbishment program for public buildings
program implemented by APN, co-financed by FZOEU: 200 buildings of m2, 400 M Kn
13,8 M m2 of public buildings
Moslty built before 1987, heat energy demand kWh
Refurbishment goal: 30-60% energy saving, 20% higher performance of measures and equipment
Eligible costs: ful cost - energy audit and certificate, project design task; 40% FZOEU co-financing – EE measures according to Energy performance contract (semi-ESCO model)
Reqirements: SPP 14 years, design documentation is prepared and verified after the Contract signature, Service Provider guarantees saving amount in 14 y, standard maintenace resposibility of the Owner, investment maintenace resposibility of the Service Provider
Project are offered at Public Procurement, Offers are graded according to 6 elements:
Service provider defines total costs (1) and savings achieved (2), other elements are optional: share of RES use (3), net present value for energy service – reimbursment rate, (4), net present value of building owner – share of saving available for owner (5), automatic consumption measurement (6)
