10 Homeowners' Associations to Receive Energy Audits of Their Apartment Buildings

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has concluded its competition to select energy audit specialists. The winning company will assess the condition of 10 apartment buildings for homeowners' associations taking part in the “Primele Rândunele” (First Swallows) pilot project in Moldova, with Expert-Grup financing the auditors' work in full.

The audit will cover roofs, walls, basements, heating and water supply systems and overall energy consumption, and will identify where each building loses most energy. Each association will receive a list of recommended measures, their estimated cost and expected savings, plus consultancy, so owners can decide which works they are ready to carry out. Later, 1-3 projects will be selected for implementation.

Adrian Lupusor, Executive Director of Expert-Grup, said most residential buildings in Moldova are in an extremely poor technical state, and only complex thermal modernisation will improve the situation. Expected benefits include 20-50% lower energy consumption, smaller utility bills, greater comfort, higher property values and fewer CO2 emissions. The project runs in 2022-2024 with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development and Netherlands Embassy support.
