Environmental research

Location - Plovdiv, sought central region of Bulgaria. Project Target Groups - Target groups are end users, installers, decision makers, CBO s. Goal and expected impacts The goal of project is to reduce use of fossil fuels for heating and cooling. Expected impacts are increase confidence of end users to heat pumps, and improve condition for use underground water. Objectives and expected results 1. 5 000 t Reducing of green house gases by demonstration installation of heat pump in 30 years period. 2. Increase confidence of local community to use heat pumps for heating and cooling 3. Increase capacity about possibilities to use heat pumps for heating and cooling Major activities Module 1 Management and dissemination ; Terms: 6 mounts; Activities under this module will be creating system of effective management and implementation of project activities. And make guaranties for transparency and accounting by dissemination of stakeholders and community for becoming, progress and products from project. Module 2 Heat pump installation demonstration ; Terms: 3 mounts; - Activities under module 2 are project, building and put in exploitation demonstration heat pump installation. Module 3 Information and training campaign Terms:3 mounts - This activity will increase capacities of target groups (end users, installers and decision makers) about possibilities to use heat pumps. Products will be: guidelines with pilot practice to use underground water like energy sources; we will make partnership for exploitation of heat pump and reducing of carbon emissions; Manual for end users; Register of installers; Market case study; Round table with installers engineers. Module 4 End Heat Pump conference Terms: 1mount; Activities under this module will be organize and implement end heat pump conference with wild participation of local community, installers, engineers and decision makers. Product will be declaration wit request for better conditions to use underground water. Partnership with GEF SGP proposals/projects Back to nature will contribute with all projects which now implement under PMP GEF in the region. The goal is to spread the information to all stakeholders, local communities and authorities and CBO s. This is will improve promotional effect without expense. We will keep contacts with teams which already implement similar projects to change experience and good practice. Sustainability - Heat pumps have big share in Sweden, Germany and other countries. Heat pumps are reliability way for heating and cooling. So that the reason we expect in Bulgaria to increase chare after improving conditions for use underground water. We hope to contribute with declaration and demonstration installation.
