Cost-Effective Energy Efficient Methods for Refurbishment and Retrofitting of Buildings: Materials, Technologies, Optimization and Case Studies

Cost-Effective Energy Efficient Methods for Refurbishment and Retrofitting of Buildings: Materials, Technologies, Optimization and Case Studies, provides up-to-date knowledge on this important research field. Divided over three key parts the chapters cover materials and innovative technologies; optimization strategies and actual case study applications that highlight the impact of different climatic conditions, social factors, and economic specifications of each retrofit process in each country. Emphasis is also placed on cost efficiency, which is key in any energy retrofit process in addition to the very well demonstrated technical efficiency factor. Taking into consideration, key changes in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive-EPBD and the European Union Green Deal on Refurbishment and Renovation the book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists, architects, and civil engineers, and all those working on the cost-effective and energy efficient retrofitting and refurbishment of buildings. Discusses cost-effective energy efficient methods for the refurbishment of existing buildings, using state-of-the-art technologiesIncludes detailed case studies that explain various methods and Net Zero EnergyExplains optimal analysis and prioritization of cost-effective strategies INDICE: 1.
