These technical materials have been designed for the Energy Efficiency Fund
of Ukraine, in the framework of the Project on “Support of the National Energy
Efficiency Fund and the Climate-friendly Reform Agenda (S2I)” implemented in
Ukraine by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
GmbH on commission of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) in the scope of the International
Climate Initiative (IKI).

The Verkhovna Rada of
Ukraine approved the Law on
the “Energy Efficiency Fund”,
which determined legal,
economic and framework
arrangements of the Fund
establishment and opera-
tion. The Energy Efficiency
Fund is a state institution that
allocates grants for imple-
mentation of comprehen-
sive technical solutions to
upgrade the energy efficiency
of residential buildings with
homeowners’ associations
(HOAs) in line with the best
European practices.
The Energy Efficiency Fund
was officially registered as a
state actor on 24 July 2018.
The mission of the Fund is to
boost the level of energy effi-
ciency in Ukraine to European
one by reducing energy con-
sumption and СО2
emission
levels in the housing sector.
The Energy Efficiency Fund’s
Programme is implemented in
cooperation with the Ministry
for Community and Territory
Development of Ukraine,
the Delegation of the EU to
Ukraine, the International
Finance Corporation (IFC),
the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenar-
beit (GIZ) GmbH and the UN
Development Programme
(UNDP).
An idea of the First Movers
Pilot Project emerged on
autumn 2018. The mission
of the Project was to test the
phased ‘Fund customer’s
path’ and to improve oper-
ating procedures and the
previously developed rules
and requirements. Further
on, it allowed designing and
regularly improving the active
Energodim Programme of the
Fund.

The first meeting with First
Movers Polot Project partici-
pants took place to mark the
kick off of the Pilot Project
implementation. The meet-
ing objective was to ensure
an efficient involvement of
HOAs participants in the First
Movers Pilot Project, respond
to their questions and shape
expectations by acquainting
them with phases, procedures
and sample documents. At
this moment an active phase
of Pilot Project implementa-
tion and thermal moderniza-
tion of participants’ residential
buildings has began.
The date of the First Movers
Pilot Project completion
by GIZ. The outcomes of
the Pilot Project have been
summarised and the unique
experience obtained through-
out implementation has laid
the groundwork for amend-
ments to Fund’s Energodim
Programme.
The discussions and
approvals of potential forms
of the Pilot Project imple-
mentation, financing and
follow-up support by and
between the donors and GIZ
continued from autumn 2018
untill early 2019. In parallel,
the Pilot Project has started.
The first stages were conduc-
tion of energy audit of resi-
dential buildings and prepara-
tion of documents necessary
to apply for grants.

The funding of the Pilot Project by the
government of Ukraine from the Energy
Efficiency Fund’s authorised capital was
not possible as the Energy Efficiency Fund,
while registered, was not operational yet.
Therefore, the donors unanimously decid-
ed to finance the Project with funds from
international financial and technical assis-
tance. Grants were paid from the multi-do-
nor trust fund (MDTF) formed with money
from the EU and Germany. The grant for
Package А ‘Light’ amounted to 60%, and
for Package B ‘Comprehensive’, 70% total
cost of works.
The GIZ Project “Support of the National En-
ergy Efficiency Fund and the Climate-friendly
Reform Agenda (S2I)” in Ukraine supported
HOAs at all preparatory stages up to the im-
plementation of energy efficiency measures,
provided consultations, carried out procure-
ments of respective services (energy audit,
project design documentation development
and expert assessment, technical and autho-
rial supervision, post-certification of energy
performance), including extra costs to ensure
relevant quality of services delivered. During
the Pilot Project implementation some of
HOAs faced challenges related to the lack
of targeted financial assistance from the lo-
cal government and switched for the Fund’s
regular Energodim Programme. Neverthe-
less, GIZ continued supporting these HOAs
as committed.
Besides that, GIZ also engaged a technical
support team to ensure high quality of both
preparatoryworks and Pilot Project implemen-
tation. The team comprised representatives of
an architectural design bureau from Germany
and experienced professionals from Ukraine, all
of them substantially experienced in construc-
tion, major repairs and renovation of residential
and social facilities not just in Ukraine but also
in other countries worldwide.
Technical support team consultants were
assigned responsibilities for providing assis-
tance to energy auditors and project design-
ers, cross-checking calculations and technical
solutions to verify their compliance with Fund’s
requirements at all stages of thermal modern-
ization implementation.

Conclusions
01. 02. 03.
The implementation of thermal mod-
ernization measures (e. g., IHS instal-
lation, lighting upgrades at common
facilities) led to higher energy con-
sumption figures at some facilities
compared with pre-modernization
levels. This can be explained with
non-compliance with regulatory re-
quirements and sanitary standards on
the process of building management.
That included, e. g., forced reduction
of the indoor air temperature in flats to
save on heating expenditures, or absent
lighting at common-use areas. In spite
of degradation of certain indicators, the
implementation of energy efficiency
measures has led to a reduction of
general primary energy consumption
in each HOAthat implemented respec-
tive projects.
As the analysis of energy audits and the
process of energy efficiency measure
implementation in residential buildings
have shown, there is an urgent need of
reviewing the project investment val-
uation technique. In many cases, the
assessed cost of thermal moderniza-
tion measure implementation failed to
account for the project implementa-
tion period, which could last for one or
two years. Throughout that time, prices
for goods and services would go up
so that, during the time of the project
design documentation (PDD) develop-
ment and evaluation by experts, the
cost of project implementation could
become substantially higher. The ef-
fect drew apprehension from HOA
co-owners as the required bank loan
amount was bigger than the amount
voted for before the start of project
implementation. In some cases, that
compelled HOAs to abandon further
project implementation.
The lack of experience in thermal
modernization of residential build-
ings among PDD developing orga-
nizations in some instances became
the key reason for construction work
delays and some substantial correc-
tions during authorial supervision.
It has been revealed the design bu-
reaus with substantial experience in
development of PDD for new resi-
dential buildings and have no such
experience with thermal moderniza-
tion of the existing residential stock
and are not ready to meet enhanced
(compared with standard commer-
cial projects) requirements to project
design documentation components
and quality as well as to the quality
and reliability of technical solutions
suggested in such documentation.
As practical implementation of such
developed projects has shown, even
the institutions carrying out compre-
hensive expert assessment of PDD are
not always able to affect quality of the
final product. One optimal solution
to develop and enhance the level of
professional competence of design
bureaus could involve development
of training programmes and courses
with detailed description of all re-
quirements of the Energy Efficiency
Fund, to technical and organization
solutions suggested in the project
design documentation.

To provide for a wider implementa-
tion of residential building thermal
modernization projects, it would be
feasible to develop PDD using stan-
dard design solutions. This will sub-
stantially simplify the preparation
of PDD, reduce the time needed for
their development and considerably
increase their quality. It was the ex-
perience gained throughout the im-
plementation of the First Movers Pilot
Project that, among other things, laid
the basis for the development of En-
ergy Efficiency Funds’ Album of Tech-
nical Solutions and Standard Projects
(Project Design Documentation) for
their further replication by design bu-
reaus when designing project doc-
umentation. To implement projects
using technical solutions from the
Album it will be enough for a design
bureau to have a suggested technical
solution customized by a professional
design engineer to match the specifics
of each building and assignments at
hand.
Conflict of interests is a material fac-
tor that substantially affects the im-
plementation of residential building
thermal modernization measures.
Regrettably, the contractors imple-
menting some of the projects were
not always able to remain impartial
throughout each phase they were
involved in (e. g., when both the con-
tractor modernizing the heating sys-
tem in a residential building, the proj-
ect design documentation developer
and the authorial supervisor all repre-
sent one organization). Such a situa-
tion may lead to the lack of quality and
unbiased authorial supervision, which,
in its turn, can cause failure to comply
with work performance technology.
Substandard qualifications of con-
tractors have often been the case of
technology violations; the engineer-
ing staff of the contracting organi-
zation has failed to sufficiently brief
workers and oversee their operation.
There were cases when, during the
PDD review phase, contracting orga-
nizations would back out of approved
technical solutions and suggest to
the HOA changes in work perfor-
mance technologies or replacement
of the materials with some other with
comparable (to their mind) charac-
teristics. Moreover, such agreements
were not notified to either the on-site
construction (technical) supervisor or
authorial supervisor or technical sup-
port team specialists. The responsibil-
ity for changes in technical solutions
was pinned on the HOA chair who,
however, was, in the majority of cas-
es, unable to properly assess techni-
cal consequences of such moves. Like
with project designers, training sem-
inars for engineering and technical
stuff would make a useful measure to
increase the level of their profession-
alism as they, in their turn, will share
their knowledge immediately with
work performers when coordinating
them throughout the whole imple-
mentation phase.

The consultants from the technical
support team have more than once
drawn work performers’ attention to
shortcomings and failures to comply
with requirements of the regulations
currently in force in respect of the
works. The most problem-ridden issues
were the ones of mechanically fasten-
ing the façade insulation, minimizing
and correctly filling in voids between
façade insulation slabs, correct installa-
tion of window sills, correct insulation
of window jambs, correctly selecting
and fitting insulation to various pipe-
lines. This begs a conclusion about in-
sufficient experience and qualifications
of building company representatives.
Based on the gained experience, a
training course on “Features of imple-
mentation of thermal modernization
projects under the program “Energo-
dim” of the Energy Efficiency Fund” has
been designed for construction market
representatives with a focus on major
mistakes and the need for better quality
of construction works.
The experience of many HOAs shows
the securing of bank loan for project
implementation maytake quite a while,
from two to four months. Such a delay,
in its turn, may make the completion
of construction works within one year
prompting their extension to the next
season. This can have a negative effect
as the ‘idling time’ may well mean (and
indeed meant for some projects) an
increase in prices for goods and works
calculated in the cost estimate section
of the project design documentation.
The price hike compels a review of the
PDD followed by yet another expert
assessment of such documentation,
which has its toll on the project du-
ration.
Challenging economic situation in
many HOAs and the intent to save
during the execution of works some-
times push HOA chairs and boards to
circumvent the technical solutions set
out in the PDD. Such moves, in their
turn, lead to technology violations
during the performance of works or
to the opting for unreliable technical
solutions/construction materials and
equipment. However, HOA represen-
tatives are generally unable to access
the scale of the negative effect such
technological alterations will have
(vs. the ones approved in the project
design documentation) onto the final
energy efficiency indicators of the
residential building as a whole. Here-
with, such alterations of the already
approved PDD lay the complete re-
sponsibility for changes of materials,
work performance technologies and
consequently, improper work execu-
tion squarely on the HOA chair and its
board.
The experience of the First Movers
Pilot Project implementation laid the
groundwork for the designing and
testing of Energy Efficiency Fund
Energodim Programme. The Pro-
gramme is being regularly reviewed
and updated: by late 2021 its 10th
version has been adopted. The En-
ergodim Programme has introduced
a range of mechanisms allowing to
the maximum simplification of pro-
cedures and steps to be followed by
HOAs to implement projects on ther-
mal modernization of their residential
buildings. This specifically includes the
mechanism of phased verification (for
Package B), a substantially broadened
list of partner banks, regular optimi-
zation of the application review pro-
cedure at the Energy Efficiency Fund,
implementation of an e-application
submission system etc.
