In terms of the technical assistance provided to the Ministry of the Environment, two model project plan energy audits falling under the promotion of upcoming invitations of the Environmental Operational Programme have been elaborated. These audits shall serve, together with other outputs, as a model for actual applications for support from this program. The first audited project consisted of refurbishing the central heat source in order to decrease pollutant emission, while the second aimed at decreasing energy consumption at an educational facility by insulating the perimeter structures.

In the first case, producing electrical power and heat by joint combustion of biomass and coal has been evaluated as the most favorable. In the second case, the auditor preferred insulating the building and realizing other cost-saving measures for the heat pource and distribution while utilizing guaranteed energy-saving energy services (the EPC methods).
