9. Energy management in public buildings • Remote monitoring and control system of energyconsumption in educationbuildings • Introduced in Warsaw from 2009, • Enables control of energy installations operationin buildings by making remote readings and setting parameters of the equipment, such as regulators, heat and electricity meters, • Optimizesconditions of operation and expenditures for energy of the building, • Has a possibility of savinginstallationworkingparameters from the whole period. It allows to precizelychoose the orderedcapacity for the building, • First stage: 3 educationalbuildings in Śródmieście district 21-30% of savingsachievedcompared to the corresponding period prior the introduction of the project, • Currentlyoperates in 70 educationalunits in Targówek and Śródmieście districts.

10. Energy management in public buildings From 2010 InfrastructureDepartmentcarries on the monitoring of electricity, heat and gasconsumption and expendituresin educationalunits of the City of Warsaw. 1167 educationalunits (779 locations) with900 electricitymeters, 524 heatmeters and 622 gasmetersareincluded in the programme. • As a result of activitiescarried out under the programme the followinghavebeenachieved: • Reduction of expenditures for orderedcapacity, • Reduction of electricity and heatconsumption, resulting in CO2emissionsreduction. • Savingspotential: • Electricity – € 1,3 mln • Heat – € 1,9 mln DemandSideManagement for energyefficiencyimprovement

11. Changes in energysector Target – CO2reduction: Productionenergy in cogeneration, CHP Żerań – change to gascogenerationunitsbefore 2020, CHP Siekierki – change to gascogenerationunits 2021-2022, CHP Siekierki biomasscombustioninstallation from 2015, Twosolid waste incinerationplantsbefore 2020, Renewableenergysources – prosumers.

12. Public transport system Sustainable public transport system isessential for the development of the City. Crucialinvestmentsplanned for 2014-2020: • 2nd metro line, • Expansion of the tram network, • Purchase of rolling stockfor metro, tram and urbanrapid railway, • Development and modernization of railway infrastructure for travelswithinmetropolitanarea, • Dynamicexpansion of P&R system.

13. Development of low-emissionbusfleet • Purchase of busfleetthatreduces emissionsof pollutants and using modern technologies (hybrid and electric vehicles). • Tender for 10 electric buses, half of which will appear on the streets of Warsawin September 2014. MZA strategy premises 120 e-buses till 2020. • Operation of electric buses besides environmental benefitswill also bring significant savings in operating costs. • In 2015 35 gasbuseswilljoinWarsawfleet.

19. WarsawDialogue on Scaling-UpLocal and SubnationalClimate Action Conference organized by the City of Warsaw and The Ministry of the Environment in close collaboration with the global cities network ICLEI and supported by the UNFCCC Secretariat, Day beforefirstofficial „Citiesday”during COP19, An open exchange on addressing climate change on various levels, sharing experience and best practices, It offered various perspectives on cities role in climate change mitigation and adaptation – from mayors of world cities, through local organizations (ICLEI, C40, EUROCITIES) to representatives of governments and scientists, The results of works during Warsaw Dialogue, including suggestions for national level, challenges and best practices to replicate, are presented in OUTCOMES OF WARSAW DIALOGUES on Scaling-Up Local and Subnational Climate Action Suggestions for nationallevel: (1) allow flexibility and creativity and leadership at urban level (2) training and spreading of expertise, and knowledge platforms (3) financialsupport (4) removecounter-productiveincentives (5) provide long-term certainty in terms of direction of national policies

20. The voice of the cities during COP19Cities and Sub-nationalDialogue First time in historyduring COP conference „Citiesday” took place, High level segment – Mayoral and Ministeriallevel, The goal was to create a link between the high level, national governments and regions, It can be considered as the direct and immediate implementation of the Nantes Declaration of Mayors and Sub-national Leaders on Climate Change adopted in September 2013, The discussion focused on enhancing adaptation and resilience in regions and on enhancing global mitigation efforts through acting at the local level. Participants shared their ideas and experiences that can be used in global struggle with climate change.
