The cost of heating is almost twice lower than in neighboring Zhytomyr houses
Residents of the five-story building with the “Kyivska 47” condominium in Zhytomyr implemented energy-efficient measures under the Energodim program in the house and in October paid twice less for heating than residents of similar non-modernized houses located nearby.
In particular, in October, the cost of heating in a 57-year-old house with a condominium "Kyivska 47" was 7.33 UAH/m2, and in a neighboring similar house, where no energy efficiency measures were implemented, 14.78 UAH/m2.

“These results are pleasantly impressive and encourage other citizens to choose an energy-efficient way to solve problems in their homes, rather than waiting for tariff reductions. By the end of this year, we expect several dozen more partially or fully completed projects, which means that several thousand more Ukrainian families will live in comfortable conditions and save on utility bills, ”said Yegor Fareniuk.

“Energy efficiency is an investment in the future that will save significantly in the next heating seasons. Thanks to the cooperation of condominium “Kyivska 47” with the Energy Efficiency Fund, resource savings of over 30% have been achieved here. The Government has proposed many development programs in this area, so I urge communities to seize opportunities and accelerate Ukraine's energy independence, "said Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov.
He also informed that 27 projects under the Energodim program are being implemented in Zhytomyr oblast, 19 of them in Zhytomyr.
