Housing facilities management in the Republic of Serbia from the aspect of energy efficiency improvement

Housing facilities management is a term which has been evolving in its contemporary sense in the territory of Serbia since the mid 90’s of the previous century. Apart from such a long tradition, it encounters a problem of its insufficiently precise definition in the standing legal regulations, inexistence of an efficient system of implementation by the legally obliged persons, and the unsystematic character of regulations pertaining to this matter. Key deficiency of the existing norms is obvious in four main segments: routine maintenance, management in unforeseeable emergency situations, facility capital maintenance management and energy efficiency management. Until new acts have been adopted, many obligations of the facilities owners, which should be legal obligations that need to be implemented, represent only a moral obligation.
