Energy indicators for public buildings in autonomous province of vojvodina with focus on healthcare, educational, and administrative buildings

Abstract

This paper aims to show the current state of energy consumption and accompa-nying energy indicators in the public building sector in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. The public building energy consumption data (healthcare, administration and schools) was collected by surveys supported by on-site meas-urements, calculations and interviews with people responsible for energy moni-toring. Statistical processing of the collected data on the real extent and manner of energy usage in public buildings in Vojvodina was used. This paper presents energy indicators which are on average three times higher than allowed by Ser-bian Ordinance and what is currently present in neighboring European Coun-tries. It is of the utmost importance to use this data and its implications as a cata-lyst for the implementation of energy management in the public building sector and an increase in energy efficiency.
