Subject
Implementing the RES (solar
and geothermal energy)
and utilizing cogeneration
in the selected objects in Warsaw
 2 school buildings in the Śródmieście (Downtown) District –
installation of the solar collectors and heat pumps
 1 school and 1 nursery building in the Białołęka District –
installation of the solar collectors
 Cogeneration in the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Hospital
in Warsaw
Duration
July 2007
– June 2013
• 4 investments completed
• cogeneration in the
hospital – planned for
2012-2013
Main objective
increased use of energy from renewable sources
and produced in cogeneration in public buildings
of Warsaw to help to enhance their energy efficiency
and creation of environmentally friendly infrastructure
The specific objectives
• reduction of emissions, including mainly carbon dioxide, into the
atmosphere
• diversification of energy sources
• increasing of the energy efficiency of public buildings
• increased use of renewable energy sources, including solar
and biothermal energy
• reducing the cost of heat and electricity
• increasing energy savings in buildings
• improvement of the technical infrastructure of buildings
Cogeneration = energy saving
Trigeneration technological system for the hospital
Trigeneration: a combination of thermal and mechanical/electrical
technology combined with the cold production, designed to reduce
the amount and cost of primary energy, necessary to produce each
of these forms of energy separately
In heating systems, in the summer, it improves economic efficiency
of electricity production, combined with the heat along with the low
demand of the heat and existing demand for the cold
Cogeneration = energy saving
• Combined energy production reduces fuel
consumption by up to 30-50% compared with
a split electricity and heat production
Complementarity of the project
to the international projects
• Cities on Power
• OPEN HOUSE

This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme
co-financed by the ERDF
Main assumptions
 preparation of policies and strategies aimed
at increasing renewable energy use in urban
areas
 a framework to encourage investment in
renewable energy in these areas
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme
co-financed by the ERDF
The specific objetives
 Preparation and approval of Local Action Plans for renewable energy,
cities Klagenfurt and Warsaw, regions of Ravenna and Turin
 Developing a common methodology for the analysis of renewable
energy resources (solar and geothermal energy) and carrying out this
analysis
 The introduction of incentives to invest in renewable energy in urban
areas, by developing innovative financial and organizational tools
 Investigating the possibility of using renewable energy in selected
locations (public buildings)
 Preparation of investment documentation (studies, tender
documentation) regarding the implementation of RES installations
in selected locations
General information
 OPEN HOUSE - Standardization and
dissemination of methodology of assessing
buildings’ sustainability in the European Union
on the basis of transparency and openness
of the project for implementation
 Internation project implemented within the
Seventh Framework Programme

Main assumptions
To develop, implement and disseminate a common, open
and transparent European method - taking into account
the existing solutions - sustainability assessment
of buildings at the stage of their project planning
and the investment itself
Specific goals
 Initiating the networking of institutions, administration, developers,
investors, distributors, manufacturers, architects, engineers,
craftsmen and users
 Creating a roadmap for cooperation between industry and science,
focused on high-risk long-term projects, consistent with the
principles of sustainable development
 Defining the non-technological barriers that cause limitations
in the implementation of solutions on the market
 The public consultation in order to encourage communities
to implement new solutions
Current state
 The partnership has developed the
initial version of OPEN HOUSE
method and has chosen the
buildings on which this method will
be tested
 Capital City of Warsaw indicated the
Bielany District Hall (built in 2009)
to evaluate the building in terms
of sustainability
