Less than 10 per cent of the total number of homes in Romania have been thermally rehabilitated, according to building materials producer Baumix. A press release to BURSA indicates that only 35,000 apartments are going to be thermally rehabilitated by the end of the year, although some 2.5 - 3 million homes should actually be included in such programme. Baumix believes that the rehabilitation programme requires much more substantial support in the years to come, whereas the quality of the building materials must be premium.
Studies ordered by both the Romanian Government and the European Commission via the Energy Centre Bratislava have revealed that thermal energy efficiency programmes implemented in Central and Eastern Europe need to comprise nearly all the apartment buildings made of concrete plates, which were mostly built between 1960 and 1990. Such buildings provide virtually no thermal insulation and often include various execution errors. In the absence of thermal insulation, such buildings lose a tremendous amount of heat through the outer walls, which can sometimes amount to 35 per cent of the total heat loss.
