Closing the gap – the opportunity for sustainability and smart transition in the Central and East Europe countries
Abstract
For almost half a century the countries of CEE were part of- or were remaining under the influence of- the Soviet Union what caused gaping difference in the starting line towards sustainability. Here the prefabricated concrete blocks of flats were being built at the scale unseen in the western countries. Those buildings, approximately a quarter of the residential market, are in a structurally sound condition to last another five or more decades. However, during their construction, the requirements for energy efficiency were almost nonexistent. Therefore, their refurbishment and thermal upgrades is a prerequisite, and due to sustainability, the demolition should not be considered unless it is unavoidable. This paper discusses the case of one mass housing block of flats and method to find the most efficient way to bring it to the higher energy efficiency standards using the BIM simulation technology. The chosen solution might be widely implemented due to typology. The effect of the scale (any refurbishment to one block can be performed to many others of the same type) gives the opportunity to substantially cut the energy consumption and close the huge gap between the east and west European blocks on our way to a greener future.
