Prerequisites for housing stock reform in the context of energy efficiency

Abstract

The article analyzes the fundamental prerequisites for reforming the housing stock to improve its energy efficiency. It examines economic reasons related to high utility costs and the energy intensity of the economy. Technical factors are noted: the physical deterioration of buildings and the inefficiency of engineering systems. The environmental aspect is emphasized, particularly the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Social and legislative drivers of the process are highlighted, including the growing demand for a comfortable environment and state programs. The authors conclude that the prerequisites are complex and require the consolidated efforts of the state, businesses, and citizens.
