DELFT/NETHERLANDS, 23-24 MARCH 2006: 11TH ENERGIE-CITÉS ANNUAL CONFERENCE

How to build “sustainable energy communities” within municipalities, and how to set up “local intelligent energy forums” for more effective co-operation, these are some of the questions raised at the Energie-Cité Annual Conference. The upward trend in energy prices and climatic catastrophies are there to remind us that our current development model is not sustainable.

This sets a bold challenge that calls upon all citizens, businesses, community organisations and public authorities to be creative and innovative. Each of these players has a role to play, regardless of their position in thecity.                                                                                                     How can we build “sustainable energy communities” within our municipalities? How can we set up “local intelligent energy forums” so we can work together more effectively? How can we make local initiatives more visible whilst encouraging their replication at local level?                                                                                                             You have your own experience? You want to benefit from the experience of others? You are developing projects? We welcome you to this conference to join in the debate!                                                                                                                For more information please go to                               http://www.energiecites.org/conference/.                                                          Contact: http://www.energie-cites.org/page.php?lang=en&dir=6&cat=2&sub=1&id=2>
                      

Workshop: Removing Barriers to Residential Energy Efficiency in Central and Eastern Europe

February 6-7, 2006.

Kiev, Ukraine

12 January 2005

Delegation of CEEF and Narodno Grijanje Company Sarajevo will participate at the Workshop titled "Removing Barriers to Residential Energy Efficiency", on February 6-7 in Kiev, Ukraine. The Workshop is funded by the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), that is part of a project the Alliance to Save Energy is doing to increase awareness of the importance of energy-efficiency in countering rising energy and water prices and to facilitate the exchange of best practices and lessons-learned in residential energy efficiency throughout Central and Eastern Europe.    The goal of the workshop is to build institutional capacity by increasing awareness of the local and national governments of Central and Eastern Europe about how to better formulate and enable policies that promote the development and implementation of residential energy efficiency projects, especially for multifamily buildings where there is a high concentration of vulnerable households.

Narodno Grijanje and CEEF will present B&H Energy Efficiency Experience in Residential Sector and projects that Narodno Grijanje implemented in B&H in this sector in the last two years. The presentation aims to reflect upon:

·          Projects implemented by Narodno Grijanje in the residential sector in B&H

·          Cost savings achieved through implemented projects/Financial gain to households

·          Potential for project replication and cost savings in the future
