Abstract
The problem of energy efficiency of buildings is especially relevant in Kazakhstan. According to the state policy of innovative development of national economy, in recent decades, it has been necessary to solve the problems of saving energy resources, introducing renewable energy technologies and increasing energy efficiency. One of the most important issues of energy saving and energy efficiency is the problem of sustainable functioning and innovative development of housing and communal services in Kazakhstan, which is directly related to the modernization of residential buildings in order to reduce operating costs and improve energy efficiency. Analysis and study of economic approaches to financing energy efficiency measures are especially important in the framework of almost implemented projects for the modernization of housing and communal services.
Highlights
The housing sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the 3rd largest consumer of electricity and heat after the energy and production sectors
Most of the buildings in Kazakhstan were built during the period from 1950 to 1980 of the last century and do not meet modern thermal insulation requirements, which leads to an overestimation of the energy intensity of resources and significant heat losses, this housing stock requires deep modernization
According to the Committee on Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the housing stock of the Republic of Kazakhstan is 364 311.7 thousand m2 of total area, of which 182 985.1 thousand m2 belongs to block of flats, which is 50.2% of the total housing stock. [15]
Summary
The housing sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the 3rd largest consumer of electricity and heat after the energy and production sectors In this sector, there are significant reserves for energy conservation and energy saving, in parallel, there is potential for the development and implementation of energy saving measures based on investments and long-term investments in the modernization of the entire industry. It should be noted that housing and communal services are the most ineffective and costly in terms of energy consumption This sector has very significant reserves of energy conservation and energy saving, thereafter, there is a huge potential and ample opportunities for the development and implementation of energy-saving measures based on placing of funds and long-term investments in the modernization of the entire industry. The main issue when deciding on the allocation of funds for modernization or renovation is the issue of obtaining an economic effect from the implementation of these measures and the economic efficiency of investments
