Already at the end of the year, we will start the new support program for improving the energy efficiency of apartment buildings and transitioning to the use of renewable energy technologies. Every renovated building is a testament to the spirit of a Latvian owner, perfectly demonstrating the ability to organize one’s own property, think about the future, and be open to change and development. And every winner of the competition “The most energy-efficient building in Latvia 2022″ is an excellent example and motivation for multi-apartment, industrial and public buildings, as well as private houses to become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly,” emphasizes Minister of Economy Ilze Indriksone.
