Buildings in the content of the Plan (extracted from the REC/E3G Slovakian Country Profile)


Slovakia’s final NRRP amounts to a total of €6.6bn. In the earlier draft, €700m were allocated to a specific Building Renovation component of the plan. That value increased to €728m (11%) in the final NRRP, of which €528m is allocated to energy efficiency in single family homes and €200m for renovation of historical public buildings. The plan also contains significant funding for modernisation of public services like education, healthcare and the judiciary. Approximately €48m of it is tagged as climate-related renovation investment, including €17.8m for renovation of hospitals and medical service stations, €700k for centres for health and social community care for mental health, €18m for courts, €10m for police force buildings, and €1.2m for fire stations. A significant construction programme for new public buildings is also foreseen, including €817m (~12% of total) allocated to new hospitals, which will be required to achieve ‘BREEAM Excellent’ certification. Further €130m are allocated to other building-related climate measures. However, it is unclear whether these will fund new-builds or renovations. Altogether this brings total building investment to €1.7bn (26%).
