CONTEXT: 39% of Polish apartments are heated through solid fuels…
(National Census 2011)
6 from 10 most polluted cities in Europe are located in Poland…
(EEA 2012)

conclusions
1) According to the first results, energy transition didn’t evoke fuel poverty – most households have smoothly adapted to the new realities.
2) In present shape, air quality programmes generally prefers access-deprived and resourceful, but not truly energy-poor households, so it is not an efficient way to combat fuel poverty.
3) There is a need to use a solution which allows to kick two birds (air quality and energy poverty) with one stone
