Our house was built from 1983-86 and there are 76 flats in the seven-story building (between 28 and 42 m2). We successfully applied three times for PVs and heating modernizations and had some savings from these – with in total 340 000 EUR expenditure we achieved a multiapartment house which we can operate relative economically. I think our energy community meets modern needs.
Innovatív szemlélettel a mindenkori értéknövelő beruházásokra való törekvés.
