The USAID Municipal Energy Reform Project (USAID Project) developed the pre-feasibility study for the project on the comprehensive thermal modernization of school buildings in Ternopil. The project includes 83 buildings (kindergartens, secondary schools, educational centers, etc.). Currently, most of them are connected to the district heating system and use individual heat substations (IHS) with weather-based and time controls. Almost all buildings have an insufficient level of heat protection of the building envelope, have no district hot water supply, and their hydraulic and heat systems are unbalanced. They use outdated single-pipe heating systems, incandescent lamps or lighting fixtures with fluorescent lamps. The general feature of many public buildings selected is non-compliance with the parameters of heat mode, air exchange and illumination intensity in the premises, etc. Though many of these buildings have implemented an energy monitoring system (in manual mode) and energy certification system. Read more<<
