Educational institutions with environmental responsibility

About this project

<p>The project aims to implement a series of activities that will contribute to the realization of energy efficiency in two public buildings, which house kindergarten “Radost” and kindergarten “Slantse”, as well as creating conditions for their transformation into buildings with close to zero consumption of energy.</p> <p>The buildings were selected on the basis of the following features: an acute need for energy renovation,&nbsp; large capacity and high attendance, as well as their strategic location. Both buildings will be fully isolated, windows changed so that they can reach class A of energy efficiency. In addition a RES will be installed: The heating of the "Radost" kindergarten will be carried out through the use of a combination of two types of renewable energy sources - highly efficient heat pumps and a photovoltaic; in “Slantse” kindergarten only photovoltaic of <span style="white-space: pre-line">10.5 kWp is envisaged.</span></p> <p>The main activities include:</p> <ul> <li>Implementation of energy saving measures in the buildings of kindergartens ''Slantse'' and "Radost";</li> <li>Author and construction supervision,</li> <li>Exchange of experience ,knowledge and best practices at management and expert level, publicity, audit and project management.</li> </ul> <p>The target groups of the project are the residents of the city of Vratsa and in particular the users of the two buildings - children, teachers, educators, support and medical staff.
