Energy Efficiency in Apartment Buildings: Experience from Zhytomyr and Lviv

Project News

Recent­ly, the teams of the projects “Sup­port to the Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Fund and Envi­ron­men­tal Reform Pro­gramme (S2I) in Ukraine” and “Ener­gy Effi­cient Dis­trict of Lviv City”, imple­ment­ed by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Inter­na­tionale Zusam­me­nar­beit (GIZ) GmbH, vis­it­ed apart­ment build­ings in two Ukrain­ian cities. 

In Zhy­to­myr, the GIZ team, togeth­er with part­ners from the Zhy­to­myr City Coun­cil, the Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Fund, and the Inter­na­tion­al Finance Cor­po­ra­tion (IFC), exam­ined the mea­sures imple­ment­ed under the Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Fund’s “Ener­gy Mod­erni­sa­tion for Homes” (Ener­hodim) pro­gramme. 

Typ­i­cal mea­sures include insu­la­tion or replace­ment of heat­ing and hot water pipes, hydraulic bal­anc­ing of the heat­ing sys­tem, insu­la­tion of exter­nal walls, roofs, and attics, replace­ment of win­dows and doors in com­mon areas, instal­la­tion of heat meters and ther­mostats, insu­la­tion of bal­conies. 

In total, in Zhy­to­myr: 

— 12 con­do­mini­ums (OSBBs) have ful­ly com­plet­ed mod­erni­sa­tion under the Ener­hodim pro­gramme;

— 8 con­do­mini­ums are cur­rent­ly under­go­ing con­struc­tion work. 

In Lviv, the GIZ project teams, togeth­er with rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Sykhiv Dis­trict Admin­is­tra­tion, vis­it­ed build­ings with con­do­mini­ums that have either com­plet­ed ther­mal mod­erni­sa­tion or are cur­rent­ly imple­ment­ing the mea­sures. 

As a reminder, under the “Ener­gy Effi­cient Dis­trict of Lviv City” project, GIZ pro­vides tech­ni­cal sup­port to con­do­mini­ums in Lviv’s Sykhiv dis­trict par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Ener­hodim pro­gramme. As of today: 

— 19 con­do­mini­ums received sup­port in devel­op­ing design and cost-esti­mate doc­u­men­ta­tion;

— 10 con­do­mini­ums received sup­port in author or tech­ni­cal super­vi­sion;

— 8 con­do­mini­ums that took part in the project have ful­ly com­plet­ed the works, and 2 are still under imple­men­ta­tion. 

Dur­ing the vis­its, meet­ings were also held with the heads of the con­do­mini­ums, who shared their expe­ri­ences, suc­cess sto­ries, and chal­lenges encoun­tered dur­ing imple­men­ta­tion. Each such project is not only a step toward Ukraine’s ener­gy-effi­cient future but also a con­tri­bu­tion to its Euro­pean inte­gra­tion. 

The projects “Sup­port to the Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Fund and Envi­ron­men­tal Reform Pro­gramme (S2I) in Ukraine” and “Ener­gy Effi­cient Dis­trict of Lviv City” are imple­ment­ed by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Inter­na­tionale Zusam­me­nar­beit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Ger­man Fed­er­al Min­istry for Eco­nom­ic Affairs and Ener­gy (BMWE) and the Fed­er­al Min­istry for the Envi­ron­ment, Cli­mate Action, Nature Con­ser­va­tion and Nuclear Safe­ty (BMUKN).
