Programme: Rural Development Programme

The project proposal includes sustainable energy renovation in the building of the community center "Asen Zlatarov - 1924" in the village of Ognyanovo.  The building is located in the center of village. The building is constructed in the year 1978. 
So far, only current, emergency repairs and partial energy measures (replaced windows) have been carried out in the building.The building does not meet the modern norms and requirements of energy efficiency and therefore cannot sustainably fulfill its role as a cultural center in the village. Maintaining a normal occupancy temperature in the current state of the building involves high electricity costs.
The project provides for the implementation of energy saving measures in the building, as prescribed in the energy audit, including:
- Thermal insulation of the external walls of the building;
- Replacement of windows;
- Heat and waterproofing of the roofs;
- Thermal insulation and replacement of basement windows;
- Modernisation of the heating system by using a combined heating system through heat generators using energy from a renewable source - heat pumps and the introduction of an automation, control and monitoring system;
- Installation for the recovery of energy from renewable sources - photovoltaic generator for self-consumption with an installed capacity of 30 kWp.

Expected results:
- Class of energy consumption after ESM - "A";
- 92,3% savings of primal non-renewable energy (739 015 kWh per year);
- 156,2 annual reduction of t CO2 emissions;
- Reduced energy costs;
- Increased comfort;
- Usage of renewable energy sources.
