Thermomodernization of the school buildings of Gmina Bochnia

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">Investment arrears in the scope of thermal modernisation of buildings generate a number of effects which adversely affect the attractiveness of the area and constitute a barrier to the effective use of economic, natural and cultural potential. Technologies used in the past cause insufficient thermal tightness of buildings, the results in large heat losses and high costs associated with exploitation, it is also the cause of unfavorable conditions on the objects and lack of comfort of their use. &nbsp;A number of investment activities assumed in the project are related to the improvement of energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources. Thus, the project will contribute, among others, to - reduction of air pollution emissions, - increase energy savings through technology investments and of eco-friendly equipment, - increasing public awareness of energy efficiency. Thermomodernisation will improve the conditions of use, thanks to the application of modern technologies, the project will positively affect the reduction of energy and heating costs.&nbsp; Project result will have a positive impact to the natural environment, but also beneficial for students and teachers who are direct users of the buildings as well as administration employees. &nbsp;The added value of the partnership with the Norwegian Research Center AS, will contribute to exchange of knowledge on efficient use of energy and the use of renewable energy sources.</span></span></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

On 29.02.2024, as part of the project entitled "Thermal modernization of school buildings in the Bochnia Commune", a study visit of a representative of a foreign partner from Norway took place. The visit was attended by a representative of the project Partner - Ms. Kirsti Midttømme - Chief Scientist of NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS. and representatives of the Bochnia Commune. The subject of the meeting was a visit of the representative of the project Partner to selected schools, in which works were carried out to reduce the demand for thermal energy in buildings (including modernization of boiler rooms, modernization of the central heating system, replacement of lighting, insulation of building ceilings, insulation of building walls), and solutions were used to reduce electricity consumption in the form of installation of PV systems. The representative of the project Partner had the opportunity to see the effects of the thermal modernization works carried out and exchange experiences regarding pro-ecological solutions.
