URGENCY OF RENOVATION OF OBSOLETE INQUARTERLY HEAT NETWORKS

Abstract

As of 2021, Ukraine has an extremely difficult situation with the energy supply of the economy and the heating season. Ukraine is losing several times more energy per unit of living space than other European countries with similar climatic conditions. The amount of energy losses during its production, transportation and operation of the building are reflected in the utility tariffs of consumers. We have large energy losses during its transportation (it's about 30-60%). A targeted state program for the renovation of heating networks with the involvement of local budgets should be developed. The mass reconstruction of boilers and heating networks in the framework of the project "Improving the energy efficiency of district heating of Ukraine" for loans from local budgets and borrowed funds from international financial institutions is relevant. The use of preliminary isolated pipes gives a number of advantages, such as: reduction of heat losses in networks, reduction of costs for repairing outdated and ineffective heating networks of centralized heat suppl.
