"We take energy for granted.
Fuel shortages and power cuts are rare, but timely, reminders that we rely on
energy for transport, for heating our homes in winter, cooling them in summer
and running our factories, farms and offices. But many energy resources are
finite. In addition, energy use is often a source of pollution. Sustainable
development means using less fossil fuel more intelligently and developing
alternatives. "

Annan urges green energy "revolution"
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Wednesday called for
a "revolution in energy efficiency," saying the world needs greener
technologies and more investment in renewable energy sources.
Speaking at the launch of the three-day High-Level Segment of the
Commission on Sustainable Development in New York, Annan urged more
use of traditional renewables such as wind, hydro and solar energy,
and he called for more research into new approaches, including tidal
energy and ocean thermal conversion.

Dear Visitor;
The
Center for Energy Efficiency (CEEF) in B&H is a
non-profit, member supported organization that began its
work as an action under the USAID funded MUNEE Programe
in May 2002. Center is officially established in June
2005 with the aim of
promoting rational use of energy sources and improvement
of
energy efficiency in B&H.
With
our work we aim to:
|
|
|
|
 |
|
TO REDUCE the burden of energy expenditures on
a municipal,
cantonal, entity and state level budgets in B&H |
 |
|
TO DESIGN and
implementing leak detection and other water-loss
reduction programs |
|
| |
 |
|
TO FACILITATE work of the
network of B&H municipalities concerned with energy and
water efficiency problems |
|
|
TO PROVIDE capacity
building in the field of rational use of energy and
water to in Bosnia and Herzegovina |
|
|
 |
|
TO IMPROVE energy
efficiency performance (in housing, public
administration, industry, transport, etc.) in B&H |
 |
|
TO COLLECT, process, analyze, evaluate and disseminate
B&H energy and water efficiency indicators |
| |
 |
|
TO ASSIST B&H
in applying EU and
international energy and environment standards
(including measures for prevention of climate change) |
 |
|
TO ADVISE END-USERS
on
simple, practical steps they can take to improve
the energy efficiency of their homes and business
facilities |
|
 |
|
TO
INTRODUCE specific legislation for energy efficiency
improvement and climate protection in B&H |
 |
|
TO IMPROVE awareness of
the core issues in improving energy efficiency as well
as critical importance of local action at municipal and
business level in Bosnia and Herzegovina |
|
 |
|
TO PROMOTE use
of renewable energy sources |
