St Petersburg, Russia – Self-funding high-rise refurbishment?

Torzhkovskaya 16 is a 1950’s five-storey residential high-rise block built in the equivalent of a cold climate EU region. The costs of refurbishing the building were prima facie, largely offset by the value added by constructing an attic storey of nine apartments. Through a PPP involving the Danish government, local municipality, the non-profit Foundation for the Construction of Attics and several sponsoring companies, the refurbishment was able to achieve outstanding reductions in energy consumption (67%). This was achieved by insulating the entire building envelope, stopping all gaps in the windows, and overhauling the district-connected heating system so that residents could monitor and regulate individual radiators.
