Energy rehabilitation and certification of existing buildings – case study

Abstract

Course covers theoretical principles of energy rehabilitation process – its basic principles, levels of refurbishment, possibilities and constraints. Analysis of the selected building for the case study covers its urban layout and architectural, constructive, technological and material features in order to determine constraints and potentials in the refurbishment process. As input for energy calculations/simulations a detailed 3D model is required, where modelling principles are being practiced. Detail energy performance calculations in available software is done and energy class of the building is determined. Design of refurbishment scenarios with variant solutions analysis and calculations for verification.
