Living in Housing Cooperatives with an Energy Focus: A Resident’s Perspective in Czechia and Poland.

22 October 2025
abstract:

The report provides an overview of the housing stock and residents’ opinions on energy issues in Polish and Czech housing cooperatives and homeowners’ associations. The findings are based on a survey conducted among residents of these types of housing organizations in both countries. The report indicates that although the overall technical condition of buildings is good and some modernization projects have already been implemented, the pace of the energy transition is limited by financial, social, and organizational factors.
