Environment Energy and Climate Change Programme MF EOG #ENERGY

The Minister of Climate and Environment with the support of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management as the Operator of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme informs of the conclusion of an agreement for co-financing Comprehensive activities to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings of Primary School No. 4 and Technical School No. 1 in Żory project.

The beneficiary of the project is the Żory Commune.

About the project

The project received funding in the call for proposals for Improvement of energy efficiency in school buildings under the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, in the area of Renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy security.

It is financed 70% from the funds of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, of which 85% comes from the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA FM) and 15% from the state budget.

The total cost of the project is PLN 4,5 mln (EUR 1 mln), and the grant awarded is PLN 3,2 mln (EUR 0,8 mln).

Termomodernisation of the school buildings

The aim of the project “Comprehensive actions to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings of the Primary School No. 4 and the Technical School No. 1 in Żory” is to improve their energy efficiency by supporting comprehensive investment activities that will lead to the above-mentioned buildings to the "passive" or "zero-emission" energy standard. Actions have been planned to modernize the central heating and insulate the buildings. Photovoltaic panels will be installed, external doors and windows will be replaced, and lighting will be replaced with energy-saving ones.

Education

An important effect of the project are educational and informational activities to improve the awareness of the local community in the field of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources (RES).

A series of workshops will be organised, the effect of which will be to train specialists in the field of energy efficiency, who will lead ecological interest groups in schools. The summary of the workshop activities will be the "Energy Savings Day".

Project effects

As a result, the project “Comprehensive activities to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings of Primary School No. 4 and Technical School No. 1 in Żory” will reduce the demand for fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and energy consumption from non-renewable sources, which will translate directly into:

  • increase energy usage from renewable sources;
  • reduction of school operating costs;
  • improvement of air quality in the region;
  • improvement of learning and working comfort in the school building;
  • increase awareness of energy efficiency in community.

Implementation period

The project co-financing agreement was concluded in March 2023, and the planned completion date is December 2023.
