Headline facts and figures

  • Broadly representative of Bulgaria and Romania
  • 1.9 million dwellings
  • 40,000 buildings (theoretical)
  • 22% of dwellings in the region
  • Energy-saving potential in stock: 31%, equivalent to 2.2% of region’s final energy demand or 1.1 MtCO2 emissions

 

Predominant construction and heating features

  • Prefabricated concrete panel walls, flat concrete roof and concrete floor, double-glazed, wood frame windows
  • District heating, allowing installation of TRVs and balancing valves
