Abstract

This paper presents the results of an analysis of experimental data on heat and water use, acquired prior to and after residential multifamily building retrofits in six Russian cities under the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development "Enterprise Housing Divestiture Project".

The results obtained provide a basis for optimal selection of building retrofit technologies using AuditHelp spreadsheets developed by Foundation for Enterprise Restructuring and Financial Institutions Development, which will ensure obtaining maximum heat saving, of which the overall potential in the housing and utility sector of Russia is estimated at 120 – 135 million Gcal (500 – 560 M GJ) per year.
