The increase in utility rates in Ukraine will stimulate the development of energy-efficient construction Bashny.Net

The head of the sales Department of the residential complex Park Stone Dmitry Shostya expressed his opinion about the prospects of energy-efficient construction in Ukraine. According to experts, in the near future, in connection with the receipt of government credit funds from the International monetary Fund, will be submitted for consideration the question of a substantial increase in the cost of utilities, which, according to the requirements of the IMF, should reach economic levels.



Only by the most conservative estimates, the rates may increase more than doubled, which will hit many segments of the population of Ukraine. One of the few segments that will benefit from this turn of events, become energy efficient construction. At home, at the expense of innovative technologies, is reduced to the minimum power consumption and which is able to partially support themselves generated electricity will benefit from increased demand in the market.

Dmitry Shostya said that Ukraine per square meter of living space, consumed 40 percent more energy than in Europe. This is due to the legacy of all the parameters of communication systems and the General poor condition of the housing stock in the country. To resolve this situation by reconstructing, you need an incredible financial investment, which, frankly, is now nowhere to take.





But the housing stock renewal through the construction of energy efficient homes, can gradually resolve the existing problems. The expert believes that even a 15% rise in price of construction with the use of modern technology, on the level of demand for such housing is not affected. The Foundation for the house price will remain the same, as on many other design elements. And additional costs will be needed only for insulation and for energy-saving equipment.

Important in this respect two more factors. First, such a value budget purchase will be able to increase almost all the buyers, and secondly, in the light of the half-reduced energy consumption and rising cost of utilities, energy-efficient housing think even those who in the short term, upgrade the living space was not in the plans.
