HOAs for more energy efficiency in Ukraine
The project “Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings – Establishment of Homeowner Associations” in Ukraine was carried out from 2012 to 2015 and aimed at training residential building refurbishment managers (WGS), this way introducing the topics of energy efficiency and energy-efficient refurbishment into the practice of housing management. The training concept included that the participants were provided with comprehensive contents and skills in the following topics:
- Structure and organisation of a private housing management
- Construction and renovation management (project management and control)
- Energy-efficient renovation (technical aspects) of residential buildings
- “Learning by doing” – Practical application and implementation of the contents from the three above-mentioned topics in concrete pilot projects for building refurbishment
The project activities were concentrated on the regions of Lviv, Kherson and Zaporizhie and ultimately aimed at strengthening and empowering homeowner associations (HOA) in Ukraine. As a central result of the project, the manual “Thermomodernization of the housing stock: legal, financial, technical, organizational and social aspects” was published.
