Energy Efficiency & Condominium Laws in the CEE region Adrian Balaci Director GESB

Hungary The law was created in 2003 and became effective in 2004 with further modifications in 2011 The law allows for a condominium or several buildings joined together to function as a legal person, managing the common area of the building/s Above 25 apartments it requires the creation of a supervisory board to control the expenses of the building and the work of the building manager Above 20 million Forint cash flow it requires an auditor The decision regarding the building are taken at the meetings of owners Once the decisions are taken by 50% + 1 vote the condominium as a legal person acts on its own through the building manager or company The building manager/company can thus access loans, apply for subsidy and contract construction companies

Romania A 2007 law updated in 2010 It allows for the creation of a Association of Owners in the case of 50% + 1 positive vote that acts as a legal entity The highest decisions are taken at the General Meeting of the owner, decisions taken with a 50% + 1 vote (regarding refurbishment the vote is related to the size of the property of each owner) The general meeting appoints an Executive Comity of at least 3 and a Chair whose signature is representative The general meeting also appoints a Supervisor/Supervisory Board, that controls the legal and financial situation of the condominium The Administrator is a physical or legal person that manages the affairs of the building, and hired by the Executive Comity

Bulgaria The Bulgarian Condominium Ownership Management Act came in to force in 2009 and was amended in 2011 The Association of Owners can be created only with the participation of all owners All decisions are taken by the General Meeting Within the association the vote is parallel to the size of the property owned The Manager has to be one of the owners as well In the case of refurbishment, at least 67% of owners have to vote favourably, before 2011 it used to be 100%

Decision process In all cases the decision to engage in the refurbishment of the building has to be taken by the General Assembly of Owners The concrete work afterwards is delegated to the representative of the association In comparison the Hungarian law and its predecessor seems to be the most effective when it comes to leading to a favourable decision and an efficient process The Romanian law seems to be a bit complicated The Bulgarian law does not favour the creation of an Association in the first place and further hinders the refurbishment by requiring the vote of at least 67% of owners Currently Hungary is leading when it comes to refurbishment numbers with Romania and Bulgaria way behind

Decision process It is often the case that SMEs or environmental NGOs are the ones who approach the condominium manager with the idea of a refurbishment The Manager then makes the proposal at the General Meeting, providing alternatives The General Meeting has to decide on the funds they can allocate to the work, the question of applying for loans or subsidies and based on offers to contract a refurbishment manager/company, energy auditor, technology provider, construction company and so on The decisions are made effective by the signature of those who represent the association and are executed by the manager
