CEDEF Medijski konkursi

One of the main goals of CEDEF is spreading public awareness of the rational and responsible behavior to increase energy efficiency and stimulate greater use of renewable energy, so that the publicity and visibility in the media one of the most important aspects of CEDEF activities.

In order for CEDEF to educate the public about the necessity of increasing EE and RES, it has built and nurtured a very successful cooperation with more than 30 media companies. The media is an indispensable partner in spreading awareness with CEDEFa to the general public about the necessity and importance of rational and responsible behavior when using energy, as well as changes in habits in daily life.

Therefore since 2010 one of the key activities of CEDEF and media organizations is holding a prize competition on different topics in the field of EE and RES. Competitions are organized in cooperation with the Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) and the Independent Journalists Association (NUNS), as well as with relevant ministries, agencies and organizations, and sponsored by successful business whose work is based on corporate social responsibility which promotes increase in EE and greater use of RES.

The aim of the competition was improving public awareness in public and aong industry about the importance of insulation as one of the key factors for energy efficiency in buildings. The building sector is the most demanding energy sector in Europe and Serbia referred to more than 40% of total energy consumption.

During the panel discussion participants have presented examples of good practice and provide practical advice for achieving energy savings via insulation. Insufficient insulation leads to increased heat loss in winter, overheating rooms flying, as well as damage caused by condensation. By improving the insulation performance of a building, it is possible to achieve a reduction in total energy losses in average by 40-80%. In Serbia there are about 3 million different buildings with average energy consumption 150 to 200 kWh per square meter per annum, while in the European Union that consumption is between 50 and 70 kWh.

CEDEF journalistic prize competition was announced, sponsored by the company CERESIT. After the journalists had 3 months to take part in the contest, the results were:

First prize was awarded to Slavica Gligorović, RTS

Germany has 6,000 system for production of heat and electricity from municipal waste, while in Serbia built only a few objects that have this purpose, thus obtaining this form of energy has just started. Therefore, the improvement of energy efficiency by using waste should be given special attention.

The first prize of this competition went to Ruzica Vranjković - RTS1
Second prize - Mary S. Stamenić - RTS
While they were together on the third place titles, Biljana Kuzmanovic - TV Uzice and Leo Nela Tot Ljubojević-B92info

The panel discussion highlighted the importance of the role of alternative fuels in industry, as well as the importance and effects of their use.

In the EU alternative fuels participate in factories with 18%, which makes reducing the use of coal more than 5 million tons, and the reduction of CO2 emissions by as much as 8 million tons per year. By some estimates, annually Serbia generates 625,000 tons of secondary raw materials suitable for the preparation of a solid renewable fuels. All cement plants, heating plants and other plants that use coal as the primary fuel, they could complete the settlement of its energy needs with alternative fuels. Serbia then generally would not require coal, and replacement of primary fuels would not only reduce the consumption of non-renewable natural resources, but it would free the unecological waste landfills.
