Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The energy and water consumption of about 5,000 public institutions in Moldova is now monitored through EMIS, an energy management information system. It was launched with UNDP and GEF support and extended nationwide by Green City Lab Moldova, together with the Ministry of Energy, Expert-Grup and the Embassy of the Netherlands.

EMIS tracks electricity, natural gas, thermal energy, biomass and water use, helping institutions understand real consumption and find savings. According to UNDP, energy management can cut consumption by up to 15%; in the public sector alone, EMIS could save 1,639 GWh and reduce CO2 emissions by 563 ktonnes over 20 years. Used correctly, it can save 5% to 15% of resources.

Following this year's amendments to the Law on Energy Efficiency, public institutions will be required to enter data regularly. About 300 of the least energy-efficient buildings received free energy management services, including action plans. Adrian Lupușor of Expert-Grup stressed that the system should be institutionalised next year. UNDP launched EMIS in Croatia in 2006, where it was replicated in over 13,000 public buildings.
