SUSTENABILITATE: REDUCEREA COSTURILOR ENERGETICE LA CLÃDIRILE EXISTENTE
SUSTAINABILITY: REDUCING ENERGY COSTS IN EXISTING BUILDINGS

Summary/Abstract: Since 2007, after Romania’s integration in European Union, the process of national rehabilitation financing program acquired more financial power. The program addressed mainly for the thermal rehabilitation of the housing blocks (bedroom-neighborhoods). Part of the money needed, came directly from the budget of the European Union in the context of the programs supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB). This program can generate urban rehabilitation for infrastructure and for the existing house built environment by restoring and upgrading the underground network and various types of thermal insulation of buildings. The architectural, historical and cultural monuments have not entered the program of rehabilitation. We had to wait 17 years before European integration, but the administration has no plans of action designed to draw all benefits after these programs in order to put us on a path of sustainable development, although we were the beneficiaries for important structural funds. Furthermore, after four years of development of thermal rehabilitation program, we are not fully aware of the need for developing and learning in our country. We didn’t learn from countries that have done well up in the rehabilitation. In Europe about 50 million apartments require thermotechnical rehabilitation works, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). 4.8% of these, over 2.4 million units, are located in Romania.
