Low building standards and a lack of maintenance over the years are the main reasons for the significant increase in heat loss, and subsequently high energy consumption. The comfort of those who study, work, or use services in cold buildings with high heat loss is low. On the one hand, this has a negative impact on their productivity, health and quality of life.

For all those reasons it was important to improve the management of public investments, and introduce new standards to improve energy efficiency through better planning, budgeting, financing, implementation and monitoring of project activities.
