The Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Mr. Nikolay Nankov, attended the introduction of a renovated residential building in Bratsigovo. The residential block is located on №1 Angel Popov Street in the municipal center. The building, known among the residents as the block of fears because of its bad structure condition, has already been renovated by funds under National Programme of Energy Efficiency of Multi-family Residential Buildings. Through the funding under the Programme another building in Bratsigovo, situated on Slavi Dishlyanov №25-27 Street, was renovated.

I am glad that today I attend the introduction of the building we stand before and I am satisfied with the fact that we opened another building in Bratsigovo. They were renovated under the National Programme “Energy Efficiency of Multi-family Residential Buildings” through funds totaling BGN2,3 mln., said Deputy Minister Nankov. He noted that apart from being implemented energy efficiency measures, thanks to which the owners will pay less for heating in winter and cooling in summer, all compromised connections between the plates and pillars in the two buildings have also been restored. This way over 220 habitants living in them can be sure about living in safer buildings. The balconies’ railings have been strengthened, the components of the Water Supply and Sewerage and electro installations in the common areas have been replaced, the lightning protection of the building have been set and fire safety measures have also been implemented.

Construction works on another one of the approved 7 buildings in Bratsigovo are currently in progress. The implemented two residential blocks in the town are the first which renovation was completed in the Pazardzhik region, said Deputy Minister Nankov.

A total of 69 contracts of the approved 118 applications for interest and financial support under the Programme on its territory have been signed. Structural and energy audit of 55 buildings have been started and construction works on another 11 have been in progress.

Over 2000 agreements under the National Programme “Energy Efficiency of Multi-family Residential Buildings” have been contracted in the country. On 171 of them construction works are implemented and 42 buildings in different cities have already been renovated.

The interest towards the Programme continues to rise and the proof is that about 4200 associations of owners have already been registered
