Activities of the institutions on energy efficiency

Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Macedonia
conducted a campaign on energy efficiency, "OUR ENERGY
- OUR STRENGTH."

CeProSARD team prepared assessment and

proposed solutions for improvement of energy
efficiency of a building in the Skopje Old Bazaar

The campaign aims to strengthen the capacity of

representatives from the public sector in the area of energy
efficiency regulations and raising public awareness on the
importance of energy efficiency in terms of quality of life,
environmental protection, security of energy supply and
preservation of limited natural resources.
More information about the campaign can be find on the
following link: http://energetska-efikasnost.mk/Default.aspx

Subject of the elaborate for energy efficiency is public

building of the Municipality of Chair located in the Old Bazaar
within the urban block 3.2 (CP 6377). The building was
constructed in 1963.
The revitalization of the Old Skopje Bazaar implies its
renewal and protection. Proper integration of the building is
necessary in order to maintain the overall image of the
Bazaar in the future, but it is also essential to provide
conditions for the planned capacity of operation of the facility.
Therefore, proper integration of the building in the existing
setting must be taken as important as the provision of the
necessary working conditions.
