1st. Class Housing Renovation. IEA

The purpose of the project is to develop demonstrate and document a new renovation concept for existing multi storey housing, reducing the energy demand to Low Energy Class 1. The concept consists of an integrated solution including based on a flexible facade system and integration of RE. Furthermore, the concept shall offer a high architectural level and flexibility. Description of Work: 1) The task is solved through a teamwork. This work is based on the by Esbensen developed model for Integrated Energy Design. A process which ensures that all key actors are involved in the design from day 1. 2) Intensive project workshops are held at which the design is developed using the principle of Trias Energetica: 1 Minimised heat loses, 2 Maximised use of RE, 3 Rational Use of Energy 3) The design development is based on the following key technologies: High insulation level, elimination of cold bridges, high performance glazing, demand controlled ventilation with heat recovery and implementation of RE (e.g. solar heating, PV) 4) A web hotel is established for data and communication. Use of Results: Results are disseminated through the web site, papers and participation in lEA SHC Task 37, and via the preparation of a specific demo project
