2. Nordic countries vs Russia • Energy efficiency is required by the state and consumers, in Russia not • In Russia possibility to save only on consumption • Energy pricing still subsidized • In Nordic energy efficiency gives added value to developer and consumer • privileges and respect from the State (taxes, support) • less monthly payments for using of energy resources • Higher value on sale actions in the future

3. Nordic countries vs Russia

4. Energy efficient solution examples(applied in Nordic countries) • Geothermal energy • Geothermal energy is a type of renewable energy • Heating and hot water, possibility for cooling • Needs additional electricity capacity • Save homeowners 70-90 percent in heating costs, compared to conventional systems Heat recovery ventilation system • Possibility for apartment isolated ventilation system (without common ducts) • People can adjust ventilation completely themselves, not affecting to neighbours • Better inside air quality • Big savings of heating energy 30-80% due to heating of income air by energy outgoing air and low consumption electrical equipment • Regular ventilation whole year Solar panels and wind mills are also used quite often, but it is not applicable enough for St. Petersburg area • Sewage recovering system • Valuable source of energy • Possibility to install in high storey buildings • Savings of heating energy (30%)

5. Obstacles for usage of energy efficient solutions in St. Petersburg • Not enough laws or operation prohibitive laws concerning that issue: building norms, regulations, rules, etc. • Calculation of capacities and design have to be made according operating norms. Procedure of approval of deviations from norms is too long and complicated. • Double systems etc. • Payments for limits (heating, electricity, water and sewage) and for outside networks’ construction (electricity) are made straight to monopolists of energy resources. • Lack of any privileges from State for efficient energy consumption. • No experience of energy efficient or/and ecology building specification (like BREEAM or LEED) • Not enough attention from end customer to energy efficiency topic, mainly because of still quite affordable price for energy resources

6. NCC strategy for green solutions • Advantages for NCC company • Target to have less payments for capacity limits • Less construction costs for outside networks • Conformity with European standards • Less damages to environment • Lighting in common corridors are controlled in movement censors • Triple layers windows • Air tightness • Energy efficient lifts • Heat recovery • Taps, wc-toilets - eco-models • Tighten U-values, walls - 0,15 W/m²K windows -1,0 W/m²K (heating energy savings yearly about 20%) • Kitchen equipment A-class or better • Energy saving lamps 11W-15W or led lamps • Water meters (hot and cold) • Advantages for future inhabitants • Much less monthly payments for energy resources • They are more independent from tariffs politic and more stable to emergency situations • More combatable human environment NCC target is to exceed existing norms on 20/25%
