Successful Thermo-Modernization of Buildings even in Times of War

As of Decem­ber 2023, six mul­ti­a­part­ment build­ings in Sykhiv dis­trict of Lviv with the home­own­ers’ asso­ci­a­tions were ful­ly mod­ern­ized under the “Ener­godim” pro­gram of Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Fund – with the sup­port of the project. Con­struc­tion works at 3 of them were fin­ished in 2022–2023 under the con­di­tions of full-scale war in Ukraine.

Dur­ing con­struc­tion works, those home­own­ers’ asso­ci­a­tions faced var­i­ous chal­lenges, such as high inter­est rates for tak­ing loans from banks, high­er cost of mate­ri­als and con­struc­tion ser­vices, and even the shelling of the supplier’s ware­house. Nev­er­the­less, despite the secu­ri­ty sit­u­a­tion in Ukraine and var­i­ous chal­lenges, the Lviv home­own­ers’ asso­ci­a­tions are moti­vat­ed to car­ry out all nec­es­sary mea­sures since they real­ize the ben­e­fits of ther­mo-mod­ern­iza­tion.

Gen­er­al­ly, in build­ings that have been ren­o­vat­ed in the Sykhiv dis­trict of Lviv, inter­nal heat sup­ply pipelines were ther­mal­ly insu­lat­ed, bal­anc­ing valves and com­mer­cial heat ener­gy meters were installed, win­dows in com­mon areas were replaced, facades and base­ments were insu­lat­ed, among oth­er mea­sures.
