Summary/Abstract: The paper indicates the current challenges of the real estate sector in the pursuit of climate neutrality on the example of housing developers and a practical approach to the concept of a circular economy, which is currently implemented by the European Union and EU Member States. The challenges of climate neutrality and the pursuit of energy efficiency are part of the circular economy concept those products, materials and raw materials should remain used in the economic system if possible, and on the other hand, waste generation should be reduced to the absolute minimum. This concept considers the entire life cycle of a product, from the design phase to waste management, and generally assumes an ecological approach to economic processes. An important area of the economic system within which it is possible to implement the concept of the so-called circular economy, there is the housing sector and the current trends towards lower consumption of raw materials, including electricity and the so-called carbon footprint. In this context, the work focuses on the development sector’s striving to reduce energy consumption, achieving energy efficiency and development directions for multi-family housing in this area.
