ESIB Main Goals and Achievements Sustainable Energy Week in Ukraine

27 June 2013 Roberto Lo Cicero Vaina, Team Leader

ESIB Project objective is to show

how to use energy saving potential

with the help of case studies

demonstrating ecological and

economic viability of energy efficiency

in construction and maintenance of

buildings enabling sustainable energy

development.

ESIB Project is implemented within the framework of the Programme promoting

international cooperation in the energy sector between the European Union and

INOGATE partner countries (http://www.inogate.org/).

ESIB Project duration: January 2010 - January 2014

Legislative and regulatory activity: legal analysis of the existing legislation in the

field of energy efficiency, comparative analysis with EU legislation and

standards, development of recommendations to eliminate ‘bottlenecks’.

Financing activities: development of financial plans and financial models for

investment in the housing sector, negotiations with financial institutions to obtain

investment for energy efficiency in buildings.

Technical activities: conducting energy audits for buildings, selection and

technical support for pilot projects to improve energy efficiency in buildings,

monitoring results.

Increased awareness and dissemination of information about energy efficiency:

training workshops on energy efficiency, energy labelling and certification,

participation in national and international public events, preparation and

distribution of manuals and teaching materials, conducting online training

ESIB project objectives

ESIB awareness raising activities in CIS (ten countries)

• Website www.inogate-ee.org

• Webinars are conducted regularly

• Awareness events in schools and universities

• Training for students about energy efficiency

• Competitions for journalists

• Competitions for students

• Production of booklet

• Handbook for homeowners associations

• Handbook for bankers

• Fairs, exhibitions

Training and capacity building

More than 300 engineers and architects have been trained in ten

countries

Energy Auditors

Technical staff and decision makers of municipalities

Bankers of commercial banks

Journalists

ESIB in Ukraine

• Contribution to the law about Energy Efficiency in Buildings

• Cooperation with the European Delegation for the realisation of

Energy Efficiency measures in public buildings in ten small

Ukrainian cities

• Energy audits of public and private buildings (Burshtyn, Gola

Prystan, Crimea)

• Analysis of the energy efficiency potential in hotels in Crimea

• Public events in schools and fairs

ESIB main concern - heat losses from the building envelope

Ventilation - 15%

Windows & outer doors - 35%

Floor and basement - 15%

Exterior wall - 20%

Roof - 15%

Suggested Energy Efficiency Measures in buildings

Windows

•3rd pane in cold climates

•Additional pane

•Draft preventers

Roof insulation

•Erect new sloped roof

•Add flats roof on existing flat roof

•Add insulation on attic

Wall insulation

• Inside/outside the walls

•Repair the entrance door

HS insulation

•Add insulation to HS-pipes in cellars

•Add insulation to HS-pipes in attics

HS supply control

•Modern substation & heat exchanger

•Build shunt group

•Balancing valves at risers

•Thermostat & bypass pipe

Electric energy

• Lighting, appliances

•Change light bulbs to low energy light sources (CFL &LED)

•Purchase appliances with high energy performance (A-class )

Residential building in Kyrgyzstan

The real cost of energy has been used in this case.

With a subsidized tariff (20% of the real cost) the

payback is >40 years

Analysis of the financial performance of EE

investments indicates that:

1. Subsidized energy tariffs are used

2. Cost for EE construction materials is not discounted

3. No tax reductions (VAT and other taxes)

4. Banks impose payback time < five years

5. Interest rates of the loans do not encourage private initiative

6. Condominiums are not eligible for loans

7. Homeowners do not want to risk their property

Why does ESIB Project work?

Let’s save energy for a comfortable future!
