Introduction

Climate change is a global reality, mostly caused by human

activities and predominantly by energy consumption..

Therefore energy sectors worldwide are facing serious

sustainable development challenges. Those challenges are

affecting our way of life and especially the way we use energy.

Energy efficiency (EE) is the most cost effective measure

to mitigate climate change (CC) and its implementation

is the logical first step. Importantly, EEs energy savings

saves money. Energy security is increased because the

overall needs for primary energy are reduced. Finally, EE will

transform the energy market by creating employment and

business development opportunities.

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is among the least energy

efficient states in South East Europe. Its energy bill was 2.1

billion euro in 2008, which represents almost 20% of the

countrys GDP. With the EU target of 20% EE improvements

by 2020, the potential annual savings amount is at least 420

million euro per year.

To tap this potential, initiate process of EE markettransformation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and enable

sustainable energy development, it is necessary to inform

all levels of society, including citizens, businesses, and

political leaders.

The proposal to establish the Multimedia Center for Energy

Efficiency (MCEE) in Sarajevo is based on a clear need to

inform and educate citizens on effective and attractive

energy efficiency solutions that provide significant

money savings and offer new business and employment

opportunities.

The MCEE will be the place that brings together the

supply and demand sides of the EE market, systematically

informing citizens on solutions for EE improvements and

application of renewable energy sources (RES). The Center

will have wide impact by: raising awareness of responsible

and rational ways of consuming energy, improving

citizens understanding of RES potential, and clarifying

the key benefits of implementing EE measures to save

money, reduce emissions and improve the quality of life in

environmentally friendly and sustainable ways.

It will be the point where interested citizens will be informed

on EE and then, as educated consumers, will make informed

decisions when buying the EE products and services. For

that reason the best available EE technologies (BAT) will

be presented at MCEE, as well as information for citizens

about possibilities for financing the implementation of EE

measures in their households.

In addition to its informative and educational role, the MCEE

will be a place for exchange of knowledge and establishment

of cooperation in commercial and societal spheres.

For all of the above reasons, you are invited to support this

initiative and contribute to the establishment of MCEE to be

a Bridge to a Brighter Futurefor citizens of BiH.

Location

The MCEE will be located at the Faculty of Mechanical

Engineering in Sarajevo on Wilsons promenade. This

attractive location will enable citizens to spontaneously

visit the MCEE when walking on the promenade and see the

information about the actual events in the Centre presented

on screens and posters on the Center outside walls.

Goals

The Multimedia Center for Energy Efficiency (MCEE) will

be an EE and RES market transformer. It will be a one-stop-

energy-advice-center that will:

introduce energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy

sources (RES) into citizens everyday vocabulary;

change the attitude towards energy consumption and

behavior of citizens; create awareness on climate change issues;

provide information on what citizens can do to

mitigate climate change; and

stimulate demand for EE and RES products and

services.

Over an area of 1100 m2, eight thematic areas and a

multimedia presentation room will be arranged to promote

the latest technologies and present dynamic multimedia

educational programs that will appeal to all citizens. Adults,

students and children can drop in or visits by school groups

can be arranged. The Center will be a must see place forexchanging EE and RES information.

Approach and Concept

Through its ONE-STOP-ADVICE approach, the Multimedia

Center for Energy Efficiency will enable citizens to access

all necessary information related to the latest EE and RES

technologies and possibilities for implementation of energy

efficiency measures in their homes or offices. The 8 thematic

areas presented will be as follows:

1. Climate change and the environment2. Education and services

3. Intelligent houses

4. Energy efficient construction

5. Energy efficient interior and exterior lighting

6. Energy efficient HVAC equipment

7. Renewable energy sources

8. Finances

9. Multimedia room

Visitors will be taken on a discovery tour through thesethematic areas, individually or in organized groups with

trained Energy Advisers as guides. They will also be able

to watch films and informational presentations and

demonstrations in a multimedia room or visit public

roundtables, workshops, lectures and presentations.

Children will be able to play in interactive exhibits to learn

about EE and RES.

The standing exhibits will be supported and complemented

by a dynamic annual program of activities and events (see

a draft at the back cover) emphasizing seasonal specifics for

EE & RES.

Discovery Tour

THEMATIC AREA -I

CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENVIRONMENT will be the

first thematic area in order to inform citizens about the

global problem that needs immediate action from every

one of us. Facts about destructive effects of climate change

and the resulting global warming will be presented and

documented to elicit strong concern from visitors. The areawill emphasize the detrimental impact of massive emissions

of CO2and where CO

2emissions come from.

THEMATIC AREA - II

The overall theme that will connect all thematic

areas will be related to AWARENESS, KNOWLEDGE,

TRAINING, EDUCATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR

IMPLEMENTATION OF EE & RES, where EE & RES service

providers, educational institutions and training providers

will present their programs and tools..

THEMATIC AREA - III

Besides usage of renewable energy sources, it is important

to explain to citizens how intelligent systems of energymanagement in their homes would help them to not only

reduce energy losses but also create more comfortable

living conditions in their homes. Therefore, the sixth area

will demonstrate the SMARTHOME CONCEPT, introducing

smart meters and appliances, energy labels for home

appliances and the concept of the intelligent home.

Wall insulation

THEMATIC AREA IV

Since the greatest losses of energy needed for heating

and cooling in buildings go through the windows, wallsand ceilings, the second thematic area will cover ENERGY

EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION. This area will introduce the

concepts of low-energy buildings and passive buildings,

including the latest concept of `active` buildings. Products

for construction and thermal insulation, doors and windows,

shades and blinds will be presented.
