Croatia

Energy monitoring vision

Croatia has the national base of energy consumption and savings in two national information systems: System for measuring and verifying energy savings (SMIV), Information system for energy management (ISGE). These systems are focal point for City of Split buildings energy management. According to National law on energy efficiency, all energy distributors have the obligation of conducting annual reports on energy consumption. These data are not available on local level, not even if payed. The problem could be resolved in high extent if remote reading devices were installed in all consumption objects, so there could be central energy unit to manage given data and conduct statistical energy reports. All other solutions could be based on changing the rules and policies at national level that can allow transparency of energy data on local level for at least payed usage and statistical research, and not deny the approach in regulative of business secret.

Available data

Short explanation of the tables:

• How is the data organized: It could be aggregated, detailed with specific locations, individually recorded per different units, spatial data like maps etc.
• Who is the data provider: the entity or a person that provides the specific data (municipality, departments, agencies, businesses, individuals etc.)
• How frequently is new data made available: regularly, periodically and how often, or on request.
• Access restrictions: is the dataset free, open and available to public or are there any licences needed to use the data.
• Data access point: URL of the data or contact person who is responsible for access to the resource.

Energy sources (production)

Each table provides information about a specific energy source and the data of that energy source. The tables about utility network types refer to the data of the networks of different energy sources.

Energy consumption of municipal buildings

Tables provide information about consumption of the specific energy source in municipal buildings. Each different energy source can have its own table, or it can be merged with other energy source.

Energy performance of municipal buildings

The table provides information about the data of energy performance of municipal buildings.

Energy consumption of non-municipal buildings

Tables provide information about consumption of the specific energy source in non-municipal buildings. Each different energy source can have its own table, or it can be merged with other energy source.

Energy performance of non-municipal buildings

The table provides information about the data of energy performance of non-municipal buildings.

Energy consumption for transport

The tables provide information about the consumption of energy for transportation uses and about the data of the consumption. Each table has a specific category of transport and it could be: municipal fleet vehicles, public transport or private/commercial transport.

Transport network data

The tables provide information about different type of transport network that is available. Transport networks could be spatial maps (cadastres) of roads, railways, bike lanes, public transport lines and any other type of transport network.

Energy consumption for public lighting

The tables provide information about the consumption of energy for public lighting and data about the network of public lighting.

CO2 emission factors

The table provides information about the factors of CO2 emissions and the data that refers to these factors.

Missing data

Required ICT tools

The problem could be resolved in high extent if remote reading devices were installed in all consumption objects, so there could be central energy unit to manage given data and conduct statistical energy reports.
