Insulation can reduce energy demand by 50 to 70 per cent, although achieving such savings requires significant upfront investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the data she presented, approximately 60 per cent of thermal energy consumption for heating in Croatian households is covered by firewood, while natural gas accounts for 24 per cent. Other forms of biomass, including pellets and briquettes, account for just 3.5 per cent. She also linked this distribution to the availability of energy sources. Since the natural gas network does not cover all parts of Croatia, households choose energy sources that are both accessible and affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zidar highlighted the low efficiency of traditional wood-burning heating systems and pointed to pellets and briquettes as alternatives. She explained that burning these fuels has a lower impact on ambient air quality, while the heating appliances that use them can achieve higher efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full article is available at the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/vijesti.hrt.hr\/gospodarstvo\/zidar-izolacija-moze-smanjiti-potrebnu-energiju-za-grijanje-od-50-do-70--12963919\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/vijesti.hrt.hr\/gospodarstvo\/zidar-izolacija-moze-smanjiti-potrebnu-energiju-za-grijanje-od-50-do-70&#8211;12963919<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Koliko \u0107e nas stajati grijanje?\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cv_qzVGmVYE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toplinska izolacija ku\u0107e ili zgrade najbolji je na\u010din za smanjenje tro\u0161kova grijanja i ubla\u017eavanje udara promjena cijena energenata, istaknula je u nedjeljnom sredi\u0161njem Dnevniku HTV-a Margareta Zidar, voditeljica Odjela za energetsku u\u010dinkovitost Energetskog instituta Hrvoje Po\u017ear.
