28.09.2026 signed has been awarded a co-financing agreement for project no. FEWM.02.02-IZ.00-0016/25 entitled "Thermal modernization of utility buildings in the city of Ełk – building of the extension SP2" as part of the regional European Funds for Warmia and Mazury 2021-2027.

Strategic objective project is to improve the energy efficiency of the utility building – a historic building of an annex and a connector of an educational unit in the city of Ełk, which were built before 1995.

Achieving the goal will minimize heat loss in the building being the subject of the project, and thus to reduce energy consumption necessary to heat the school premises. Reduced demand for heat will have a positive environmental effect as there will be a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Moreover, lower losses and lower energy consumption will result in a reduction in costs that the Municipality of Ełk is paid every year for heating and maintenance, m.in educational facilities.

In the project a deep and comprehensive thermal modernization of the historic building was designed and the connector of Primary School No. 2, as a result of which there will be an improvement in energy efficiency, reducing energy intensity and increasing the energy parameters, CO2 and PM10 greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced to the atmosphere.

Scope of investment:

- earthworks with a band around building,

- insulation:

• walls near the ground,
• external walls,
the
• roof of the annex and the connector,

- replacement of windows and external doors,

- and additional works m.in: renovation of connector roofs, replacement roofing in the building of the annex, chimneys, balustrade, works electrical, grounding and lightning protection installation, testing, measurements, execution railings by the external stairs.

The project will save energy primary emissions: 81.3%, CO2 emission reduction: 78.2%,   reduction of PM10 emissions: 81.3%.

Direct stakeholders there are students, teachers and staff of this institution.

The project will benefit from the implementation of the also the Municipality of Ełk: lower energy bills will allow for To allocate the saved funds to other important needs and the community local: all residents of the city will feel the effects of the implementation project due to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, including CO2 and PM10.

Implementation period: 2027
