An energy audit of the Primary School “Branko Božović” in Podgorici is being conducted. Expeditio’s program director, Biljana Gligorić, is a member of the team responsible for the audit. The audit is performed as part of the MEEP - Montenegrin Energy Efficiency Project.
MEEP finances the implementation of energy efficiency measures relating primarily to: improvement of system for heating and preparation of sanitary water, improvement of energy performance of building envelope, and improvement of interior lightning.
Implementation of MEEP is defined in terms of reference. Work on the building begins with preparation of detailed energy audit that should indicate potential opportunities for energy saving. On the basis of the results from detailed energy audit, project documentation is prepared, which represents a basis for preparation of the tender document for procurement of goods and execution of works. Tender document is published and the most suitable contractor is selected, in accordance with procedures of the World Bank. The contractor procures the material and equipment and executes works on the facility. Technical and social monitoring as well as evaluation is conducted before and after the works, in order to show energy consumption and level of comfort before and after the investment, in order to justify invested funds and to use the results from the research for promotion and education of the public on measures of energy efficiency.
