Energy Efficiency in Residential Sector, UNDP Energy Efficiency in Residential Sector, UNDP I Bosnien och Hercegovina (BiH) spelar bostadssektorn stor roll för energiförbrukningen. Bostadssektorn bedöms även vara sektorn med störst potential för kostnadseffektiva energibesparingar. Den genomsnittliga årliga energiförbrukningen för bostadshus i BiH är mer än fem gånger större än genomsnittet för bostadshus i EU-länder. 

Det primära projektmålet är att skapa en grund/öppna upp för ökade investeringar i koldioxidsnåla bostadsbyggnader i BiH. Denna förändring inom energisektorn kan dock endast ske om kapaciteten och kunskapen inom relevanta institutioner och bland tjänstemän stärks. Detta bör ske parallellt med etableringen av ett system som möjliggör finansieringen av projekt inom energieffektivitet och infrastruktur, samtidigt som det bidrar till ”grön” sysselsättning och reducerar koldioxidutsläppen. Detta treåriga projekt (2021-2024) kommer att lanseras i 36 kommuner och städer. Det svenska stödet kommer att signifikant bidra till utveckling av finansiella mekanismer i kommunerna, för ökad energieffektivitet i bostadsbyggnader. Detta kommer att uppnås genom tre kompletterande aktiviteter:

Aktivitet 1: Genomföra energieffektivitetsstudier av bostadsbyggnader i de 36 deltagande kommunerna/städerna. 
Aktivitet 2: Utveckla övergripande kommunala finans- och policymekanismer för implementeringen av energieffektivitetsåtgärder, både under projektets gång och efteråt.  
Aktivitet 3: Främja kampanjer och allmänna utbildningar för att öka befolkningens medvetande och kunskap om fördelarna med energieffektivitet.  

Projektet ämnar ta itu med policyhinder som investerare i koldioxidsnåla byggnader och infrastruktur möter. Detta genom att stödja utvecklingen och implementeringen av nya policyramverk. Projektet kommer också, i samarbete med lokala och internationella finansiella institutioner, att bidra till tillgängliggöra grön och kostnadseffektiv energifinansiering. 
Projektet ämnar också bidra till ”grön återhämtning” efter COVID. Detta genom att tillhandahålla teknisk och ekonomisk stimulans till minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser (GHG), bättre luftkvalitet, nya jobb och till budgetbesparingar/generering av resurser för investeringar etc. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the residential sector plays a significant role in final energy consumption and is also recognized as the sector with the largest potential for cost-effective energy savings. The average energy consumption in residential buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina is over five times more than the specific annual energy consumption in residential buildings in EU countries.

The primary goal of the project is to build foundations/open the floor for scaling-up investment in low-carbon residential buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This transformational change in energy sector can only happen if the capacity and skills of the relevant institutions and professionals are strengthened in parallel with establishment of the system that enables financing for energy efficiency infrastructure projects while generating green jobs and reducing CO2 emissions. This three-year project (2021 - 2024) will be launched with 36 cities and municipalities. Sweden’s involvement will significantly contribute to accelerating the development of municipal financial mechanisms for the implementation of energy efficiency measures on residential buildings. This will be achieved through 3 interlinked activities, namely: 
Activity 1: Create energy efficiency studies of residential sector in each of 36 participating Municipality/City 
Activity 2: Develop overall Municipal/City financial and policy mechanisms for implementation of energy efficiency measures under this project and beyond 
Activity 3: Facilitate public awareness-raising campaign and citizens' education in win-win energy efficiency benefits 

The project plans to address policy barriers faced by investors into low-carbon buildings and infrastructure by supporting the development and implementation of enabling policy framework. In partnership with a local and international financial institutions, the project will facilitate access to green energy finance at affordable terms. 

The project will also contribute to COVID-19 “green recovery” by providing technical and economic stimulus to GHG emission reduction, air quality improvement, creation of new jobs, budgetary savings/ re-generating resources for investment etc. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the residential sector plays a significant role in final energy consumption and is also recognized as the sector with the largest potential for cost-effective energy savings.
