new technologies
• Significant changes in all sectors are needed
• Instruments have to be numerous
• Political will is essential
• Behavior change is foundation for success
14. Heritage buildings in Croatia
National Energy Efficiency Programme
• 10,000 facilities in registry
• Energy Management Information System
• 14,000 public servants educated
15. Heritage buildings in Croatia
•
•
•
•
•
15% of all public buildings is protected heritage building
23% is located in protected area
Energy consumption: 229 mil. kWh/year
GHG emission: 67,500 tCO2/year
Energy costs: 14 mil EUR/year
16. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Realized measures (House in Order):
• Energy audits for 28 protected heritage buildings
(potential savings 200,000 EUR/year)
• Education for more than 14,000 public servants
• Free EE measures in 14 heritage buildings –savings
80,000 EUR/year
• EE measures in 17 heritage buildings – savings 50,000
EUR/year + further potential of 20,000 EUR/year
• Smart metering in 20 heritage buildings for live tracking
of energy consumption
17. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Potential measures (House in Order):
• Switch to natural gas or RES (55% of heritage buildings
have >15 year old boiler)
• Water saving equipment – only 11% of heritage buildings
have some water saving equipment
• Lighting – 23% of heritage buildings have incandescent
bulbs in majority
• Thermal isolation on roof – 82% of heritage buildings
don’t have thermal isolation on roof
18. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Mary’s palace Lužnica
• Geothermal energy (heat pumps)
• Energy savings 259,776 kWh/year
• Cost 200,000 EUR
19. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Initiative “Croatian castles”
Castles of North-western Croatia (300)
• 12% in excelent condition
• 43% in good condition
• 45% in poor condition
20. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Initiative “Croatian castles”
• Enhance cooperation between stakeholders (NGOs,

• Finding models for revitalization of castles (EU funds)
21. Heritage buildings in Croatia
French pavilion, Zagreb
After reconstruction:
- savings 327,000 kWh/year
22. Heritage buildings in Croatia
City walls lighting, Dubrovnik
• After reconstruction: savings 397,320 kWh/year and
47,400 EUR/year (80% reduction)
23. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Vitid’s skyscraper, Zagreb

•
Poor condition, lack of maintenance
Current state: 182 kWh/m2 (E)
Optimal reconstruction: 74 kWh/m2 (C) = 60% reduction
Full-scale reconstruction: 47 kWh/m2 (B) = 75% reduction
24. Heritage buildings in Croatia
Elementary school Marin Getaldid, Dubrovnik
• Electricity used for heating (120,000 kWh/year)
• Suggested: heat pump heating
• Result: 4 times less electricity consumption, investment costs
17,000 EUR, return on investment in less than 3 years
25. The best way to predict future
is to create it
