Heat demand per square meter of a building is approximately 40-100 percent more in Eastern than in Western Europe. This is due, in large part, to high losses throughout the system. In terms of efficiency potential, most studies indicate that the cost of residential space heating could be reduced by 20-30 percent. The Municipal Network for Energy Efficiency (MUNEE) provides city officials in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union with the necessary tools to implement cost-saving energy-efficiency improvements in heating and water systems, municipal buildings (particularly schools and hospitals) and homes. MUNEE has experience working in 17 countries of Eastern Europe, disseminating positive energy-efficiency experiences related to project financing, policy reforms, public awareness campaigns, and municipal planning.
