Abstract

In order to decrease energy consumption of buildings it is necessary to take energy-saving measures. Main attention is paid to panel buildings, particularly to housing stock in the Czech Republic. The paper contains the Czech state-of-the-art in the field of revitalization of older housing stock and achieving the EU energy objectives, introduces suitable energy saving measures and deals with the methodology of economic evaluation of planned revitalization projects and with energy monitoring. The implementation of the above mentioned methodology is shown on the case study in the city of Přerov. The obtained results confirmed practical experience that, over the years, a considerable progress has been achieved in the planning and implementation phase. Furthermore, the case study shows that even simple energy monitoring may bring a great benefit in terms of energy savings. Nevertheless, there are still some issues in the operational phase that need to be addressed. Therefore, current level of energy monitoring should be considerably enhanced in order to achieve full energy potential of buildings.
