Households Sector – General data
The energy intensity in this
sector is calculated in terms of
the growth of individual
household monetary
consumption.
Reducing energy intensity in
terms of monetary consumption
is an indicator of increased
efficiency of household energy
use, which limits the growth of
energy consumption.
Increased household energy consumption due to:
increased living area per capita; increased provision of household appliances; increasing the level of thermal comfort in the
dwellings, both in the winter and in the summer.
Number of homes: 3 943 989 (NSI, 2016)
Number of multifamily buildings:

Households Sector – Main EE measures
Residential Energy Efficiency Credit Line (REECL) - http://reecl.org/en/
Provides loans for energy efficiency home improvements→ 2017 - funded and implemented 725 projects. Total amount of € 4,3 mln.
→ Saved energy – 12,42 GWh
→ Reduced CO2 emissions - 8 481 t CO2eq
Demand Side Residential Energy Efficiency Through Gas Distribution Companies
In Bulgaria - DESIREEGAS - https://desireegas.bg/en/
Dedicated and effective mechanism to support the gasification of Bulgarian households
→To support gas supply and installation of high-efficiency boilers in about 10 000 households;
→To save energy equivalent to 142,000 MWh per year;
→To achieve additional energy savings of 70,000 MWh per year due to switching from coal, biomass and
oil to natural gas because of higher combustion efficiency;
→To save around 213kWh for every 2 BGN of grant for the average economic life of 15 years of the
equipment installed;
→To reduce GHG emissions by 70,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year, or more than 1 mln. tons of carbon
dioxide in the economic life of the equipment installed.

Targeting: Residential buildings constructed industrially to three or more floors of a minimum six (6) separate objects with residential
use up to 36 separate objects with residential use and massive buildings, designed before April 26, 1999 of three or more floors with
six (6) or more separate objects with residential use.
National Energy Efficiency Program for Multifamily Residential Buildings
All 265 Bulgarian municipalities are eligible to participate in the Program.
Financial support: Up to 100% grant support for eligible expenditures covering mainly measures to:
(i) improve the EE of the buildings (thermal insulation of building envelope improvements of the heating, electrical work, etc.) and
common spaces; and
(ii) measures to improve the structural soundness of the buildings to, amongst other things, comply with the current building code, if
needed.
Measures to be implemented should bring the energy consumption of buildings to at least Class C (energy use of 191 kWh/m2 to 240
kWh/m2) at the lowest cost.
Implementation mechanisms: The Program is administered mainly through municipalities. They not only
approve project application and sign the contracts, but also are responsible for all procurement and acceptance of
the energy and structural audits, approval of detailed designs and issuing of construction permits and perform
construction supervision.
Financing of the Program: In the state budget for 2017, a state guarantee has been included in the amount of
BGN 1 billion.

Nearly zero-energy building – national definition
"Nearly zero-energy building" shall be a building which simultaneously fulfils
the following conditions:
а) the energy consumption of the building, defined as primary energy, complies
with Class A on the scale of energy consumption classes for buildings of the
relevant type;
б) not less than 55 per cent of the energy consumed (supplied) for heating,
cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting is energy from renewable
sources produced on-site or near the building.
