Programme: Rural Development Programme

The project proposal envisages improving the energy efficiency in the building of "St. St. Cyril and Methodius" Primary School in the village of Chavdar, by introducing the following energy-saving measures:
- Construction of a rooftop photovoltaic system for own needs;
- Inverters that will operate independently in autonomous mode, through connected storage batteries;
- Construction of a cascade of "air-water" heat pump modules, with their electrical supply provided by the photovoltaic system.
The planned activities include the introduction of energy-saving measures on the building and improvement of its operational characteristics. The project proposal addresses three main aspects of needs related to – reducing final energy consumption, improving living comfort, providing a more comfortable, welcoming and safe environment for learning and caring for children and providing a better microclimate in the school building. 
The project was prepared according to the energy saving measures provided by the developed energy survey report and the current legal norms.
Through the implementation of this project for energy efficiency of the school building in the village of Chavdar, a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the municipality will be created.
The maintenance of the public building infrastructure is a priority of the municipality. This also corresponds to the ever-increasing needs and expectations of modern society for quality educational and public services.
Through the energy-efficient renovation, significant savings in energy costs for the municipality will be achieved.
