50% of Ukrainians live in multi-apartment buildings. There are 9 million apartments and only on gas heating Ukrainians spend three times more than in Europe. A partial wall insulation, which is very popular in Ukraine, doesn’t provide the desired saving and can also harm the walls. Only by implementing energy-efficient measures throughout the building can really reduce costs and solve all the problems.
The issue of improving the housing comfort and the economy of its maintenance was discussed by journalists from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava and Zhytomyr regions on the training “Energy-efficient modernization of multi-apartment buildings is the basis of housing reform. Ukraine’s Experience and Prospects for the Development of the Sector. ”
