Abstract:
According to the report Regular Review of Energy Efficiency Strategies in BiH gross total primary energy consumed per unit of GDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 2.5 times the average of 27 EU countries and higher than almost any other country in the south-east Europe. Republic of Srpska as a part of Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterized with a high inefficiency within the residential, non-residential/public, industry and service sector. In order to meet this energy intensive consumption demand, a significant amount of budget funds must be allocated for energy expenditures of public buildings (educational, health, municipal etc.). At the same time, Bosnia and Herzegovina has one of the most significant energy conservation potentials in the region and could base its further development on energy efficiency improvement measures in the residential and public sector. On the other hand, BiH signed various international conventions in the field of energy which committed the country to harmonize its legislative framework with global trends. In accordance with this obligations, BiH is obliged to report to the Energy Community on energy consumption and energy savings on state level. Currently there is no energy management system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well in Republic of Srpska. In the residential and public sector, information about energy and water consumption are usually provided only on a monthly basis. This paper presents the implementation of an information system as a tool for energy management for public sector regarding buildings in Republic of Srpska.
