Results 2010-2014 (old system)

ANDRES JAADLA

• Grants - 38 million euros

• Total investments – 135 million euros

• 35% grant most popular (>50% in last years)

• Renovated apartment buildings – 663 (of

total of about 20 000 apartment buildings)

• Renovated net area – 1,9 million m2

• Average energy savings per building – 43%

• Total annual energy savings – 60 GWh

22 RIGA

Example: Sõpruse pst 202, Tallinn • 11 375 m² (162 ap. 2012-2013)

• Investment € 2 062 000, 181 €/m²

• Grant 35% € 721 600, 63 €/m²

• Credit € 1 340 000, 20 years

• Measured annual savings 63%, ~500 MWh


Example: Sõpruse pst 202, Tallinn • External insulation of facade + roof insulation

• Triple windows (+moved to the insulation layer)

• Heating system: exhaust air heat pump + district heating

• Ventilation system: ventilation radiators and old stacks for extract


2015-2020 KredEx new grants • No need for state-loan (private banks have resources, well

capitalized, low interest rates)

• 102 M€, grants 15, 25 and 40% (50% for design, technical consultants, supervision)

• More emphasis on preparation, ventilation, energy monitoring:

– More detailed building design documents (full energy calculation in

addition to energy audit + because of third party verification)

– Investigation of building design documents by third party experts (run by

KredEx having contracts with qualified experts)

– Technical consultants

– Commissioning protocols for ventilation airflow rates and heating

system balancing

– Agreements for post-maintenance

– Measured EPC after one full year of operation

• Guarantees are still inforce ANDRES JAADLA 25 RIGA

• 15% financial support – EPC class E

• 25% financial support – EPC class D (EP ≤180 kWh/(m2·y))

• 40% financial support – EPC class C (EP ≤150 kWh/(m2·y))

• + some additional technical requirements

especially for ventilation and insulation

• EPC class C – the same value for new and renovated (in some

countries could be called as renovation nZEB)

• 40% grant will keep the monthly payment for the occupant roughly at the

same level before and after the renovation – renovated building, improved

indoor climate and real estate value being a bonus

• 25% grant slightly less cost effective because of tight ventilation

requirements

Summary

ANDRES JAADLA

• Lessons learnt 2010-2014 period – poor ventilation sometimes resulting in moldy apartments the most significant problem

• 2015-2020 grant system requires HRV ventilation (and commissioning protocols for verification) and moving windows to insulation level in the

case of 40% grant as major changes

• Both changes were first seen as „fully impossible“ by stakeholders, but after 6 months

experience economic solutions were found

51 RIGA

Summary • Quarter renovation and Model renovation

solutions – KredEx renovation manual is prepared – designers can copy and customize

the model solutions by quarters

• Win-win-win situation for all :

- occupants benefit from increased real estate value

- government from tax return and economic growth, and

- environment from saved energy ANDRES JAADLA 52 RIGA
