Overall, the project will result in a direct reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,02 million tCO2e overthe lifetime of the investments enabled, at a cost to the GCF of US$ 9/tCO2e. Within the Project, the EMIS – EnergyManagement Information System will be used in prioritization of the different investments by energy savings, energyrelated costs and by pay-back period, making it easier to prioritize between different investment opportunities. EMISis a software application for the monitoring and analysis of energy consumption in public sector buildings and is anessential tool for systematic energy management.

It consists of web applications and databases that can be accessed via the Internet. Accessibility of EMIS, via theInternet, provides easy entry of data which could be easily analysed and printed in the form of graphs and reports.The main purpose of the system is dynamic monitoring of energy and water consumption in the facility. Input datainclude all data related to buildings; the general characteristics of the building; energy systems in the building; dailyreadings from the meter (remotely or manually entered) and the monthly bills for consumed energy and water. Inorder to better analysis and calculations of indicators of consumption were integrated and climate data wereintegrated.
