Energy efficiency measures significantly reduce energy consumption. After the renovation, the heating bill is reduced by an average of 50-60 percent. Along with the renovation, the life cycle of the building is extended, its appearance is improved, and the common areas of the building (staircase, basement, attic) are renovated. No less important factor is the increase in the market value of apartments in renovated buildings.
