Energy-efficient retrofit measures to achieve nearly zero energy buildings
Considering the 2021 IPCC report that justly attributes our deteriorating climatic condition to human doing, the need to develop nearly zero energy building (nZEB) practices is gaining urgency. However, rather than the typical focus on developing greenfield net-zero initiatives, retrofitting …
Low-emissivity window films as an energy retrofit option for a historical stone building in cold climate
Low-emissivity (low-E) window films are designed to improve the thermal comfort and energy performance of buildings. These films can be applied to different glazing systems without having to change the whole window. This makes it possible to apply films to …
Analysis of energy retrofit assessment methodologies in buildings by European research projects
Energy retrofit of existing buildings is one of the main keys to achieve European Union’s decarbonising objectives defined in the European Green Deal. In order to proceed into them, European policy has been adapted and several research projects are developed.The …
Energy performance of built heritage in the subarctic climate zone of northern Sweden : applying existing standards and methodologies for improving energy efficiency of built heritage
In Sweden, as well as in Europe, buildings are estimated to consume 40 % of the total energy use. Moreover, one third of the European building stock consists of buildings with some sort of distinguable cultural or historic significance, and …
Long-term effects of additional insulation of building façades in Sweden : towards a holistic approach
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate long-term effects of previous policies for energy efficiency on energy performance and heritage values. A further ambition is to better understand the relationship between energy and preservation by exploring a …
