Energy Efficiency Challenges in Multi-Apartment Building Renovation in Lithuania.

The paper presents a position of the authors on the current setup of the multi-apartment renovation process in Lithuania. The conducted investigation includes the actual case study analysis of the group of residential buildings in Birštonas. The paper deals with three areas that have a major impact on the success of the overall renovation process. The areas include the currently applied mechanisms for identifying and evaluating energy efficiency measures, data analysis of measuring actual energy efficiency and determination of the economic feasibility of the renovation process. Research results clearly indicate that the current shape of the program scheme is far from completion. The paper produces recommendations and research findings that could be used for further improvement on the process. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
