Removing Barriers to Improving Energy
Efficiency of the Residential and Service
Sectors
The project has been initiated in 1998 with the goal to remove key barriers to the
implementation of selected, economically feasible, energy efficiency measures
in households and the service sector. Other aims of the project include reduction
of energy consumption and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Measures and technologies that are examined within the framework of the project
include: demand side management activities (efficient lighting and freezers
distribution campaigns); energy efficiency measures in tourist facilities; the implementation
of solar technologies for hot water preparation in Dalmatia; information
dissemination; awareness raising for the need to save energy; education and
capacity building in all Croatian regions/counties.
The project is executed in cooperation with the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) through the Global Environment Facility (GEF) which provides
grants for environmental projects in the areas of biodiversity, climate change,
international waters, ozone layer depletion and, recently, desertification.
