Sources of pollution are concentrated mainly in the districts of the BSR. 1.1.7.4.1 TO4: Supporting the shift towards a low-carbon economy in all sectors One of the important pillars for improving the standard and availability of housing is the renovation of the existing housing stock with the aim of reducing its energy intensity, increasing the safety of residential buildings and preserving the housing stock, and this, as a matter of priority, in apartments built using mass construction methods, with an emphasis on apartments built using the concrete panel technology. In the 1955 - 1992 period, around 757 thousand apartments were built in Slovakia using this technology, of which over 20 % are located in the BSR (155 thousand apartments).

In absolute terms, this is almost 120 thousand apartments in the BSR. Promotion of the construction of electricity generation installations using small renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic power plants (hereinafter referred to as “PVPP”), photovoltaic water heating and small wind turbines is also of considerable importance for the sustainable and efficient use of natural resources. This also includes the construction of heat production installations using RES, such as solar panels, biomass boilers and heat pumps. Support will be provided to systems producing electricity or heat in a small source for the use of RES with preference given to maximisation of consumption in the place of production. The support for small RES for multi apartment buildings will be possible only after having submitted an energy audit which will take into account energy saving measures implemented from the ESI Funds or own resources. Small renewable energy sources are plan...
