Thermal retrofit projects most often utilize external financial assistance, like grants from Narodowy Fundusz Ochrony ?rodowiska and Gospodarki Wodnej and its territorial branches or special retrofit credit from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego. Currently Infrastructure Department of Warsaw City Hall is developing database on all such thermal retrofits conducted and planned (including their budgets) in Warsaw. Such investments are conducted on dispersed way, mainly by specific Warsaw district, hence our current lack of exhaustive information in the field.(52.2296756, 21.0122287)(51.919438, 19.145136)
