The thermal modernization of educational facilities concerning
Zespół Szkół Skórzano-Odzieżowych, Stylizacji i Usług, Zespół Szkół nr 2 i V Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. R. Traugutta in Radom
The objective of the project is to reduce greenhouse gas emission, air pollution and to increase the production of energy from renewable sources.
The project objectives will be achieved by the thermal modernization, applying renewable energy devices (solar collectors) and lighting improvement in four educational facilities in Radom. The project concerns two buildings (teaching and workshop) of Zespół Szkół Skórzano-Odzieżowych,Stylizacji i Usług (Leather-Garment, Stylization and Services School Complex) in Radom, one building of Zespół Szkół nr 2 (The School Complex No. 2) and one building of V Liceum Ogólnoksztacące im. R. Traugutta (Romuald Traugutt Secondary School of General Education No. 5) in Radom.
As part of the project the following operations will be implemented:
- insulation of walls and ceilings
- replacement of doors and windows
- replacement of heating and water installation
- installation of energy-efficient lighting
- installation of solar collectors
- modernizationof heat distribution centers
The necessity for the project implementation derives from the fact that mentioned buildings were constructed in the outdated technology and they do not fulfill present standards of energy efficiency. As a result, there are significant heat losses and increased energy consumption in these facilities. Moreover, increasing fuel combustion causes higher emission of air pollution and negative impact on the environment.
The implementation of the project will contribute to the reduction of the energy consumption and emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere. The project will result in the improvement of the energy efficiency of the mentioned buildings and the growth of energy production from renewable sources.
The Municipality of Radom is the Beneficiary of the project.

Moreover, improved buildings’ energy efficiency will surely affect reduction of maintenance costs.
The project implementation is co-financed from the funds of the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 (EEA Grants) on the level of 80% of eligible costs.
December 2015
The project has substantially been completed. The final acceptance test of the last building - educational building of Zespół Szkół Skórzano-Odzieżowych, Stylizacji i Usług (Leather-Garment, Stylization and Services School Complex) whose thermal efficiency had been improved within the project, was carried out in December 2015. The building was equipped with modern, energy-saving LED interior lighting; interior central heating and domestic hot water systems were restructured, heat distribution centre was modernized, exterior wall and flat roof were insulated, as well as solar collectors were installed (20 panels were fixed on the building roof).
As the project had been completed, the information boards were replaced with memorial plaques in the course of informational and promotional activities. Those plaques, which indicate a source of project co-funding, i.e. EEA financial resources, were fixed on the buildings frontal elevations.
As the project had been completed, there was a press conference organised by the City Council in Radomattended by representatives of the local media. The purpose of the meeting was to summarise the effects of the project completion as well as show social and economic advantages resulting from its completion. A share of funds from the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 in the project completion costs was also pointed out.
To sum up the project in a few sentences:
The project substantial implementation was started in mid-April this year. The scope of the project comprised four buildings designed for educational purposes, including: educational and workshop building of Zespołu Szkół Skórzano-Odzieżowych Stylizacji i Usług(Leather-Garment, Stylization and Services School Complex), building of V Liceum Ogólnokształcącego im. R. Traugutta (R. Traugutt Secondary School of General Education No.5) and building of Zespołu Szkól nr 2 (School Complex No.2). Thanks to the project completion, those buildings were subject to comprehensive thermal efficiency improvement, inter alia, within the scope of exterior wall and flat roof insulation, heat distribution centre modernisation, interior central heating and domestic hot water system modernization, replacement of exterior window and door woodwork as well as replacement of built-in lighting system with energy-saving one.
Total project completion cost amounted to about PLN 5,177 m., out of which the amount of about PLN 5,086 m. represents eligible costs. The project co-funding from the resources of the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism 2009-2014, within the framework of PL04 Programme „Saving energy and promoting renewable energy sources”, represents 80% of eligible costs, i.e. the amount of about PLN 4,068 m. The agreement of the project co-funding was signed on 08.01.2015.
The aim of the project was reduction of greenhouse gas emission and air pollution as well as an increase in the share of renewable energy sources in a total energy consumption balance. The project completion shall contribute to the reduction of energy used and emission of harmful substances to the atmosphere.
As a result of building energy efficiency improvement, the standard of their use has definitely increased – students and school staff take advantage of the results of the project completed. Thanks to thermal efficiency improvement completed, previous costs of building use shall be reduced, in particular expenses relating to heating and electricity use. The value added of thermal efficiency improvement is undoubtedly visual renovation of the buildings elevation.
May 2016
As a result of a supplementary call for proposals announced in October 2015 by the Minister of the Environment aimed at beneficiaries of EEA funds (Operational Program PL04 “Saving energy and promoting renewable energy sources"), the Municipality of the City of Radom filed an application for the extension of the previous scope of the project by a new action covering thermal efficiency improvement of building of the State Nursery School No.1 at ul. Zientarskiego in Radom. As a result of a positive assessment of the application, an annex to the project co-funding agreement was concluded, which, apart from including a new action in the scope of the project, also extended the period of its implementation until April 2017.
The building of the State Nursery School no.1 included in the project scope is a detached, two-storey building with a basement (building year 1982). Exterior walls and flat roof of the building are characterized by a high heat transfer coefficient. The interior heating system and domestic hot water system, due to the extent of wear and tear and bad technical condition, should be entirely replaced. Old lighting system (fluorescent and incandescent lamps) is installed in the building.
Scope of the new action shall cover works relating to improvement of the nursery school building energy efficiency, including:
· thermal insulation of exterior walls and flat roof;
· modernization of central heating system along with installation of automatics systems or adjustment of heat sources;
· replacement of built-in lighting system for LED energy-saving one;
· installation of solar collectors;
· modernization of the heat centre along with installation of automatics systems or adjustment of heat sources.
Carrying out planned works will result in reduction of energy consumption for central heating and hot domestic water, as well as electric energy for built-in lighting system. In view of another improvement consisting in the installation of solar collectors on the building roof, a share of renewable energy will be achieved in the general energy consumption balance. As a consequence of reduction of energy consumption, emission of harmful substances to the atmosphere will be decreased.
Total estimated cost of thermal efficiency improvement of the nursery school building is PLN 1.03 m. Additional co-funding for this action to be carried out, at the level of 80% of eligible costs is about PLN 823.44 K. The task is expected to be completed at the end of 2016.
The resources for co-funding the additional action within the project will come from the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014.
July 2016
Implementation of the new action within the project has begun. On 27.06.2016 a contract for carrying out construction works within the scope of thermal efficiency improvement of the building of the State Nursery School No.1 in Radom was concluded. The contractor to carry out the works is SKADAR Arkadiusz Skawiński Company based in Radom. The subject of the contract is to be executed by 31.10.2016, however, internal installation works, i.e. the installation of central heating shall be completed by 31.08.2016. It is dependent on the purpose of the building, where from 1 September, after a holiday break, preschool classes must start.
Also the procedure of selecting a contractor to handle comprehensive investment supervision of the implementation of construction works in the nursery school has also come to an end. That service, based on the contract concluded on 06.07.2016, shall be rendered by: TECHBOR Techniczna Obsługa Budownictwa Jakub Borowski Company based in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.
The project information board has been put up next to the building of the State Nursery School no.1. Moreover, on 22.07.2016, at the promotional conference organized by the city Council in Radom, journalists of local newspapers, radio and TV stations were informed that the Municipality of the City of Radom had obtained additional funding from Norwegian funds for the implementation of additional action within the project, as well as the scope of works planned to be carried out in the nursery school building and expected effects resulting from building thermal efficiency improvement and installation of solar collectors.
September 2016

Thermal insulation improvement works are co-financed under the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014. The other works not included in the scope of the project, are financed exclusively by the Municipality of Radom.
Completion of works covered by the project relating to the improvement of energetic performance of the State Nursery School No.1 building in conjunction with the replacement of windows and exterior doors for new ones, as carried out in previous years will certainly result in significant and comprehensive thermal insulation improvement of the building.
It will translate into the comfort of using the building by its immediate users, i.e. staff and children attending the nursery school. The value added resulting from thermal insulation works is renovation of the building elevation, which combined with development works relating to the surrounding area, will certainly increase aesthetics of the whole place.
November 2016
The additional action under the project has been complete. The final acceptance protocol of the works completed in the State Nursery School was signed at the beginning of November this year. The building has undergone comprehensive thermal efficiency improvement as a result of which its energetic performance was increased.
In the course of the works carried out exterior walls and flat roof were insulated, electric wiring, central heating and domestic hot water as well as heat distribution centre along with the assembly of weather and automatic control systems, were modernized. Moreover, solar collectors were installed and old lighting systems were replaced with the new LED, energy saving ones.
The total cost of the works covered by the project relating to thermal efficiency improvement of the nursery school building, which includes building works, investment supervision and promotion, amounted to approx. PLN 1.13 m. The completion of this action was supported with financial resources from the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 in amount of approx. PLN 0.82 mln (at the level of 80% qualifying costs).
Since the project has been complete, as part of information and promotion activity, the previous information board was replaced with a commemorative plaque, which was placed on the building front elevation, near the main entrance.
