Background

The GCF Funded Climate Change Mitigation Project “Scaling-up Investment in Low-Carbon Public Buildings” aims to
overcome barriers to investment in low-carbon retrofits of public buildings by addressing country and sector-specific
investment risks, as follows:

  • Output 1 will provide technical assistance (TA) to public and private sector stakeholders at municipal,
    cantonal, entity and national level in BiH to help address non-financial barriers, and to create conducive
    policies, regulations and capacities for implementation of the National Investment Framework for Low-
    Carbon Public Buildings.
  • Output 2 will facilitate implementation of the National Investment Framework for Low-Carbon Public
    Buildings, including the required investment support to improve risk-return profiles and to bring
    prospective low-carbon building projects to financial close.

    Overall, the project will result in a direct reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,02 million tCO2e over
    the lifetime of the investments enabled, at a cost to the GCF of US$ 9/tCO2e. Within the Project, the EMIS – Energy
    Management Information System will be used in prioritization of the different investments by energy savings, energy
    related costs and by pay-back period, making it easier to prioritize between different investment opportunities. EMIS
    is a software application for the monitoring and analysis of energy consumption in public sector buildings and is an
    essential tool for systematic energy management.

    It consists of web applications and databases that can be accessed via the Internet. Accessibility of EMIS, via the
    Internet, provides easy entry of data which could be easily analysed and printed in the form of graphs and reports.
    The main purpose of the system is dynamic monitoring of energy and water consumption in the facility. Input data
    include all data related to buildings; the general characteristics of the building; energy systems in the building; daily
    readings from the meter (remotely or manually entered) and the monthly bills for consumed energy and water. In
    order to better analysis and calculations of indicators of consumption were integrated and climate data were
    integrated. Based on the input data user shall take appropriate energy efficiency measures that result in energy and
    financial savings.

    EMIS has been already developed (by UNDP Croatia) and widely used in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
