The main problems in the Latvian housing sector are deprecated buildings with low energy performance levels, insufficient education regarding the organization and management of energy efficiency measures, low public activity, lack of interest to improve the energy performance of buildings, and insufficient attraction of private investment. The current education of housing managers focuses more on technical servicing and management activities and less on energy efficiency measures. To improve the situation of managing the multi-apartment residential buildings and reduce their negative impact on climate change, within the European Climate Initiative (EUKI), the project “CLI-MA – From Housing Manager to CLImate MAnager” is being implemented in Latvia and Poland from October 2020 to March 2023. The main goal of the project is the promotion of the renovation process of residential buildings as a component of climate policy and the implementation of EU directives concerning strategies for building renovation. Specific goal of the project is the development and implementation of training curricula for housing managers, which will raise knowledge and skills in the fields of energy efficiency and climate. In the Latvian training curricula, there are six aspects included regarding energy efficiency and climate problems: climate policy and sustainable development, concept and indicators of energy efficiency, housing policy and legal framework, technical solutions and energy efficient materials, implementation and problems of energy efficiency projects, communication problems in the housing management. In the future, these aspects will be incorporated into the existing study programs for housing managers to improve their knowledge of energy efficiency and climate.
