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.

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. 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.
