Sažetak
The STRATEGO WP2 main report quantifies the impact of implementing various energy efficiency measures in the heating and cooling sectors of five EU Member States: Czech Republic, Croatia, Italy, Romania, and the United Kingdom. The focus in this summary report is on Croatia, which is the smallest of the five countries in terms of the heat demand. The results from this study indicate that a total investment of approximately €22 billion in energy efficiency measures in Croatia, between 2010 and 2050, will save enough fuel to reduce the costs of the energy system. After considering both the initial investment and the resulting savings, the total annual cost of the heating, cooling, and electricity sectors is reduced by ~10% (see Figure 1). These initial investments are primarily required in heat savings for the buildings, district heating in urban areas, and electric heat pumps in rural areas. In essence, energy efficiency measures in the heating sector will enable Croatia to simultaneously reduce its energy demand, carbon dioxide emissions, and the cost of the heating, cooling, and electricity sectors (see Figure 1).
