Abstract

 Improving the energy efficiency of the existing fund of public and residential buildings is one of the important elements of the European Union's policy, because they are high energy consumers “being responsible for about 40% of final energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions and about 75% of the buildings are not energy efficient” (Strategy for mobilizing investments in the renovation of the fund of residential and commercial buildings, Oct 2017). The presented case study will detail how the approached energy efficiency measures will determine the investment have multiple benefits, both social and economic.
