Retrofitting Listed Buildings: Measures, Savings and Requirements
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents a case study where the energy demand for a listed building constructed in 1900 is reduced. Many older buildings are listed and have restrictions that include the entire building or that include only its exterior. For the building presented, only its exterior facade is listed. The paper demonstrates measures for the improvement of the thermal insulation of the building with solid brick walls. Durable customised measures are shown. The customised measures are required not to change the overall exterior architecture as the building is considered to contribute to the uniqueness of the local urban environment and therefore listed. The reduced energy demand, related to individual measures, is estimated and building physics requirements are addressed together with the economic options for evaluating

Green Retrofitting Costs and Benefits: A New Research Agenda
Since the introduction of the Green Mark Scheme in Singapore in January 2005, more than 650 projects have been awarded the Green Mark Award. In fact, from 2008, all new buildings must achieve the mandatory standard of a certified green building. However, the challenge is how to convert the existing stock of buildings in order for them to achieve the green mark standard. This study is motivated ...
متن کاملA multi-objective optimization model for the life-cycle cost analysis and retrofitting planning of buildings
The building sector contributes a large proportion of the world’s total final energy consumption. As a result, considerable attention has been paid to energy efficiency in the building sector. At the current stage, building retrofitting is the most feasible and cost-effective method to improve building energy efficiency. This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model for life-cycle co...
متن کاملModelling and Simulation of the Effects of Passive Cooling Technologies on Energy Savings for Building Systems in Subtropical Climate
The paper aims to investigate different measures of passive cooling that are compatible with existing buildings in order to reduce the energy consumption and peak demand associated with the cooling. Both the existing conditions and envisaged thermal comfort preference of the occupants of the building determine which retrofitting technology is most suitable in a particular case. Measures focusin...
متن کاملDefining and Developing an Energy Retrofitting Approach
This paper identifies the dilemma faced by the stakeholders of existing buildings in regards to a decision making process for energy retrofitting. This paper also identifies the missing stage viewed as the “integrity audit “which can lead to substantial savings in the area of building operation. The methodology is centered on identifying energy waste first, reducing the overall peak electrical ...
متن کاملTowards Data-driven Building Retrofit
Due to the relatively low construction rate of new buildings in Europe, the energetic performance of the building stock can mainly be improved by retrofitting existing buildings. Current methods to derive and assess retrofit measures require either on-site inspection by an expert consultant and code based approaches, or numerical simulations using a building energy model that needs to be first ...
