USAID Enterprise Energy Efficiency – 3E Pilot Project Proposal No. B3-3

The project involves repairing windows of two houses, installing two solar water heating systems, and implementing a Monitoring and Verification System for two houses. The total cost of the proposed energy efficiency measures is $34,000, with $10,000 in co-funding contributions from the partner's own funds. The project evaluation summary provides basic data about the project, including the year of construction (1998), the number of floors (2 + basement), and the heated area and volume of the two buildings. The project also aims to reduce the usage of fuel oil for heating and electricity for water heating, and to introduce the practice of energy management. The recommended measures are based on a technical analysis of the building's energy consumption and the potential for energy savings. The benefits of the project include reducing the usage of fuel oil and electricity, promoting the practice of energy saving and energy consumption monitoring, and demonstrating practical energy savings and improved thermal comfort. The project also aims to motivate other local governments to financially support similar projects, stimulate the local economy, reduce the usage of imported fossil fuel, reduce CO2 emissions, and improve public health. The project technical description and analysis provide a detailed overview of the project's goals, objectives, and technical requirements. The management of the SOS Children's Village is interested in reducing energy consumption and associated costs, and promoting the usage of renewable energy sources. The village is located on a hill overlooking Gracanica, and its layout consists of two rows of 6 houses running east-west. The houses are heated by individual boilers using fuel oil, and electricity is used for water heating. The project involves repairing windows of two houses, which will reduce heat loss and improve thermal comfort. The installation of two solar water heating systems will reduce the usage of electricity for water heating and promote the usage of renewable energy sources. The Monitoring and Verification System will monitor energy consumption and verify projected energy savings. The project aims to reduce the usage of fuel oil and electricity, promote energy saving and energy consumption monitoring, and demonstrate practical energy savings and improved thermal comfort. The project's environmental compliance has been confirmed, and the pilot project implementation does not cause any environmental concerns or adverse environmental effects. The project's replicability potential and relative ease of implementation have been assessed, and the project has been found to be highly replicable and easy to implement. The project's readiness and ability to put in place clear Monitoring and Verification procedures for reporting on post-implementation energy savings have also been assessed, and the project has been found to be highly ready and able to implement these procedures. The project's geographic location, building type, and types of technologies have been assessed, and the project has been found to be located in an appropriate geographic location, with a suitable building type and technologies. The project's amount of co-funding for the pilot project has been assessed, and the project has been found to have a high amount of co-funding. The project's willingness to introduce energy management practices into other public buildings has been assessed, and the project has been found to be highly willing to do so.
