Low Energy and Passive Housing in Ljubljana

The Public Housing Fund of the Municipality of Ljubljana (The Fund) is the organisation in charge of the implementation of the national housing programme in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. The Fund was set up to manage all aspects of the municipality’s housing programme in Ljubljana, developing and implementing policy, organising lines of credit from financial institutions, allocating funds and managing properties. It currently carries out the full range of landlord responsibilities, including energy-efficient refurbishments of existing properties, as well as adding to its existing dwelling stock by building low energy/passive housing. Surveys have shown that residents are proud to live in environmentally-friendly buildings that are refurbished to a high standard. The Fund’s activities have had positive socio-economic impacts on surrounding areas.
