2. MODEL Award Competition 2009 Brasov is the capital city of Brasov County, situated in the central part of Romania. Brasov is a mountain city located at an altitude of 600-800 m, and has a long heating season (approx. 6 months), which translates into important energy consumption. Brasov was one of the first Romanian municipalities to join Agenda 21. Now in Brasov there are two important actors in sustainable development: ABMEE – Local Energy Management Agency and AMB – Brasov Metropolitan Agency. Brasov defined its municipal energy strategy and started implementing it. One of the most important issues identified was the district heating. The system generates a lot of losses and is undergoing a process of retrofitting.
