The toolbox launched by ComAct presents the available financial models supporting energy-efficient renovation of multifamily residential buildings in Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, North Macedonia and Ukraine. They are collected and described with the specific goal of identifying individual approaches to the inclusion of households suffering or at risk of energy poverty in national and local renovation policies, taking into account the scope, volume of investment and expected energy savings.

The consortium of the H2020 project ComAct has taken a deep dive into five countries – Hungary, Lithuania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Ukraine – to look at their energy poverty rates, how the energy-poor are identified, and what programmes are in place to support them. Furthermore, existing financial schemes from all over Europe, which have proven to help alleviate energy poverty in multi-family apartment buildings are identified.
