of the housing stock in Ukraine was built before 1990
Soviet-era housing was constructed under building codes with low efficiency standards and minimal energy-saving measures. Additionally, the ongoing military aggression from russia poses a persistent threat to Ukraine's energy infrastructure
Renovation for Energy Efficiency and Comfort
The TEPLO project is retrofitting a Soviet-era apartment building in Nizhyn, Ukraine with rapid-install, bio-based prefabricated panels to improve energy efficiency and resident comfort
Circular and agile renovation approach
The project centers on a circular and agile renovation approach, focusing on technology transfer. We utilize rapid-install prefabricated panels made from biobased materials, adapting them to the unique challenges of a Soviet-era house
Community participation
We encourage co-owners to actively participate in the design, and implementation of the renovation, ensuring that planning reflects their needs, promotes transparency, and supports their collective interests
Comprehensive training and guidelines
Through targeted training and guidelines for architects, engineers, and homeowners' associations (OSBB), we aim to set a new standard for circular, community-centered renovations across Ukraine
New European Bauhaus values
Aligned with New European Bauhaus values, we prioritize circular construction, aesthetic appeal, and community involvement to create a more sustainable and inclusive living environment
