Towards a modern & energy efficient future for cooperative housing

The National Federation of Housing Cooperatives Hungary (LOSZ), the Hungarian member organisation of Housing Europe organises an international conference on energy efficiency for cooperative housing with a focus on the best practices that could stimulate energy efficient modernization in Hungary.

Participants are invited to discuss the question of refurbishments resulting energy efficiency in condominium residences and in buildings owned by housing cooperatives. The Board of LOSZ noted that the energy efficient modernization in Hungarian housing stock is lagging behind and believes that reducing energy costs would lead to real savings of the maintenance costs of households in the long run.

The Hungarian housing stock today counts 4,3 million units which include slum-like, multi-storey houses of housing associations, condominium residences (about 1,1 million units) and family houses and a little part of low-rental houses.

LOSZ interest is related to the 1,1 million condominium residences and housing stock of housing associations. Out of this amount, 560 000 were built in a prefabricated technology, 300 000 were built in an industrialized technology (Reinforced concrete frame, mid-block, etc.) and the remaining amount was built in traditional brick technology.
