\n\tTimis<\/span> County Council<\/span> meeting<\/span> was meant<\/span> to encourage<\/span> municipalities<\/span> in the Western<\/span> representatives<\/span> to be involved<\/span> in attracting<\/span> European funding<\/span> in the<\/span> year<\/span> 2014 -2020<\/span>, enabling<\/span> energy efficiency in<\/span> buildings,<\/span> public<\/span> lighting<\/span> and public transport<\/span>ation.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCovenant of Mayors<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRepresentatives of<\/span> municipalities<\/span> present at the event<\/span> were encouraged<\/span> to join the<\/span> Covenant of<\/span> Mayors<\/span> initiative<\/span> (<\/span>Covenant of Mayors<\/span>)<\/span>,<\/span> an agreement by<\/span> the involved authorities<\/span> voluntarily commit<\/span> to increasing<\/span> energy efficiency and use<\/span> of renewable energy sources<\/span> in<\/span> their territories.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tAlso,<\/span> municipalities<\/span> are<\/span> advised to<\/span> develop a<\/span> Sustainable<\/span> Energy Action<\/span> Plan<\/span> (<\/span>SEAP<\/span>)<\/span> and subsequent<\/span> implementation of ISO<\/span> 50001<\/span> –<\/span> Energy Management System<\/span> locally.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe plan<\/span> involves<\/span> setting<\/span> clear and realistic objectives<\/span> related to<\/span> reducing<\/span> CO2<\/span> emissions<\/span> in each<\/span> locality,<\/span> so<\/span> as to<\/span> achieve<\/span> a reduction<\/span> in emissions of<\/span> at least<\/span> 20% by<\/span> 2020.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tTimis<\/span> County<\/span> Master<\/span> Energy Plan<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to<\/span> Marian<\/span> Constantin<\/span> Vasile<\/span>,<\/span> President<\/span> of AMET<\/span>,<\/span> County<\/span> Energy Management<\/span> Association<\/span> was founded<\/span> in 2011<\/span> on a<\/span> European<\/span> grant<\/span> six<\/span> founding members<\/span> equal<\/span> partners<\/span> –<\/span> Timis County Council<\/span>,<\/span> Timisoara<\/span> City Council<\/span>, Chamber of Commerce<\/span>, University<\/span> Politehnica<\/span> Timisoara<\/span> (<\/span>also<\/span> Institute<\/span> Renewable Energy<\/span> Research<\/span>)<\/span> and the Federation of<\/span> Housing Associations<\/span> Colterm<\/span>.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"<\/span>We feel<\/span> ready to<\/span> operate<\/span> and<\/span> European funded projects<\/span>.<\/span> I want<\/span> to say<\/span> and<\/span> important<\/span> achievement<\/span> that we have<\/span> nationally<\/span>, to create<\/span> the country's<\/span> first<\/span> Energy<\/span> Master<\/span> Plan<\/span>,<\/span> a<\/span> master plan<\/span> crucial<\/span> for both<\/span> everyday<\/span> life<\/span> of citizens<\/span> but<\/span> also<\/span> for<\/span> investors and<\/span> their stability<\/span>.<\/span> We know very well<\/span> the energy<\/span> problems<\/span> facing<\/span> large investors<\/span> who suffer from<\/span> various problems<\/span> in the field,<\/span> such as<\/span> grid<\/span> instability<\/span>.<\/span> Therefore, I believe<\/span> that we must make<\/span> every effort<\/span> that the industry<\/span> of<\/span> the future (<\/span>which<\/span> can never be<\/span> exhausted<\/span>)<\/span> to be<\/span> exploited<\/span> in a<\/span> sustainable direction<\/span>, "said<\/span> Marian<\/span> Constantin<\/span> Vasile<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAMET<\/span> President<\/span> points out that<\/span> there is<\/span> expertise<\/span> on<\/span> energy<\/span> and that "<\/span>municipalities<\/span> are not aware<\/span> that<\/span> utility<\/span> infrastructure<\/span> is not just<\/span> water, sewerage<\/span>, roads,<\/span> it<\/span> means<\/span> power<\/span>.<\/span>"<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tPlan for<\/span> energy efficiency<\/span> in the western<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAMET<\/span> representatives<\/span> say that<\/span> the project aims<\/span> to intervene in<\/span> four directions<\/span> –<\/span> heating,<\/span> public lighting,<\/span> public buildings and<\/span> public transport.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"<\/span>In the<\/span> public lighting<\/span>,<\/span> we all know that<\/span> there are many<\/span> new technologies.<\/span> It is true that<\/span> the first challenge<\/span> is related to<\/span> payments.<\/span> Although<\/span> implementation costs<\/span> are assumed<\/span> larger than<\/span> standard<\/span> systems<\/span>,<\/span> however,<\/span> depreciation<\/span> is done<\/span> in an<\/span> acceptable time<\/span> range<\/span> and<\/span> beneficial<\/span> on many levels<\/span>, "says<\/span> President<\/span> AMET<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith regard to<\/span> public buildings,<\/span> Marian<\/span> Constantin<\/span> Vasile<\/span> points out that<\/span> it takes a<\/span> envelope<\/span> of these buildings<\/span>,<\/span> one<\/span> that can be done<\/span> on several levels<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Besides the<\/span> envelope<\/span>,<\/span> we must think<\/span> and<\/span> energy efficiency<\/span> within the building<\/span> using<\/span> automatic control systems<\/span> with<\/span> thermostats,<\/span> boilers.<\/span> Sometimes it takes<\/span> an education<\/span> of citizens,<\/span> and<\/span> AMET<\/span> is designed to<\/span> act<\/span> on this.<\/span> "<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tRegarding<\/span> public transportation,<\/span> representatives of the Association<\/span> said<\/span> that this sector<\/span> consumes<\/span> a lot of energy<\/span> (<\/span>if<\/span> firobuses<\/span>)<\/span> an liquid<\/span> fuel<\/span>,<\/span> the consequence<\/span> of<\/span> city<\/span> pollution<\/span>.<\/span> They<\/span> give<\/span> as an alternative<\/span> electric vehicles<\/span> to be<\/span> charged<\/span> in certain<\/span> stations<\/span> that use<\/span> solar<\/span> systems<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"<\/span>The<\/span> heat<\/span> level<\/span> can give you<\/span> example<\/span> Colterm<\/span> founding member<\/span> that has<\/span> major challenges<\/span> regarding<\/span> heat supply<\/span>.<\/span> Many citizens<\/span> are<\/span> chaotic<\/span> disconnect<\/span> and<\/span> do not necessarily understand<\/span> the effects of<\/span> disconnection<\/span>, they believe<\/span> that a<\/span> boiler<\/span> is<\/span> always<\/span> better<\/span>, which<\/span> is false.<\/span> The<\/span> boiler<\/span> does not<\/span> have the same<\/span> constant<\/span> temperature<\/span>.<\/span> Of course,<\/span> the<\/span> centralized system<\/span> has to<\/span> wait<\/span> a long time to<\/span> come<\/span> your<\/span> hot water<\/span> but has<\/span> the advantage of being<\/span> continuous<\/span> temperature fluctuations<\/span>, "said<\/span> Marian<\/span> Constantin<\/span> Vasile<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe<\/span> says that<\/span>'s<\/span> the<\/span> Colterm<\/span> try<\/span> using<\/span> geothermal water<\/span> and<\/span> solar<\/span> thermal<\/span> energy production<\/span>.<\/span> The company also<\/span> takes into account the<\/span> construction of the plant<\/span> in the north<\/span> of the city<\/span>, an area which<\/span> suffers from<\/span> transmission and distribution<\/span> system<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"<\/span>However,<\/span> we plan to<\/span> make<\/span> a pumping station<\/span> somewhere in the middle<\/span> of Timisoara<\/span> that<\/span>, taking<\/span> the middle<\/span> to<\/span> pump harder<\/span> in the north,<\/span> so that<\/span> the whole process<\/span> to be effective<\/span>," concludes<\/span> President<\/span> AMET<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
