CO2reduction by means of energy conservation is an important topic in many governmental environmental policies. As new construction accounts for a fraction of the total building stock, the energy performance of existing dwellings is of great importance. Professional landlords can play a major role in energy conservation, but there are indications that the large energy conservation potential in their housing existing stock is only exploited to a minor extent. This paper presents a method to implement the topic energy conservation in the asset management of professional landlords, in order to establish an integration of energy conservation in their maintenance and renovation practice. This method is described in relation to the asset management of Dutch social housing landlords, but may also be useful for other professional landlords. The method takes advantage of the European EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive).

CO2mažinimas taupant energiją - svarbi tema dažnoje valstybinėje aplinkos apsaugos politikoje. Kadangi naujos statybos sudaro tik mažą visų pastatų išteklių dalį, jau pastatytų būstų energinis naudingumas labai svarbus. Profesionalių nuomotojų vaidmuo taupant energiją gali būti svarbus, tačiau yra ženklų, kad didžiulis jų turimų jau pastatytų būstų energijos taupymo potencialas išnaudojamas nedaug. Šiame darbe pristatomas metodas, kaip energijos taupymo temą įtraukti į profesionalių nuomotojų turto valdymą, kad energijos taupymas taptų jų priežiūros ir renovacijos praktikos dalis. Metodo aprašymas remiasi Olandijos socialinio būsto savininkų turto valdymo praktika, bet jis gali būti naudingas ir kitiems profesionaliems nuomotojams. Metodas pagrįstas Europos EPBD (Direktyva dėl pastatų energetinio naudingumo).
