The main purpose of the aforementioned project is to create foundations for further decreasing of energy costs of 20 buildings, by drafting the energy efficiency strategy and feasibility studies.
Drago Tropčić, project leader emphasised particularly the importance of establishment of regular monthly control system of energy costs of all buildings owned by Karlovac County, raising the level of knowledge and awareness of public institutions\’ employees of the need for energy saving and environmental protection by organising workshops and competition in energy saving, drafting manuals for concrete energy efficiency measures which must be implemented for each specific public institution building for the purpose of decreasing energy spending.
