Abstract

This paper offers the possibilities for providing easier access to MEP systems in multi-storey apartment buildings from mass post-war developments, common for ex socialist countries. Insufficiently defined ownership relations and legal regulations in this area are the cause for inadequate access to and maintenance of MEP systems. The aim of the research was to indicate the need for establishing new technical and technological conditions and laws on building and maintenance of MEP in mixed ownership apartment buildings both in new market and in social conditions. The research included the analysis of buildings belonging to typical apartment blocks. Measures and recommendations for the improvement in the design stage as well as interventions in existing buildings and regulations are presented as the research outcome.
