In Ukraine, you have to overpay for heating several times due to the fact that most of the resources are lost on the way from the station to residential buildings. If individual boiler rooms are installed in remote areas, this will significantly reduce the amount on bills.
Energy and housing and community services expert Maria Yakovleva told UBR about this in a comment. “In some streets of Kiev, where the heating network passes, the temperature can be 10 to 11 degrees higher than in other parts of the city. There is always green grass,” says Yakovleva.
To remedy the situation, the expert suggests zoning the districts, dividing them into those where central heating is effective and those in which it is more profitable to switch to individual heating.
In some cases, the transition to individual heating can reduce the number of bills five times. Examples of such houses, says Yakovleva, already exist in Ukraine. So, two condos in Lutsk (10-story building) and Rivne (9-story), were able to use the Energy Efficiency Fund programs and carry out a comprehensive thermal modernization in their houses: they insulated the walls, replaced doors and windows in the accesses, meters installed, and also individual boiler rooms built with solar panels and heat pumps.
