Background
The
education of a nation's population is the foundation for its improvement
and growth in the international community. Educational buildings are
the cornerstone of this foundation and they consume a large portion
of a nation's non-industrial energy needs. In
this international project energy efficient retrofit measures for
existing educational buildings are being analysed. The gathered know-how
gained in exemplary retrofit projects in the participating countries.
Additionally a software tool (the Energy Concept Adviser) is developed
that gives advice on energy-efficient retrofit measures to decision
makers in administrations.
Project goals:
|
To provide
tools and guidelines for decision makers and designers to improve
the learning and teaching environment of educational facilities
through energy- efficient retrofitting. |
|
To support
the decision makers in evaluating the efficiency and acceptance
of available concepts. |
|
To give recommendations
on how to operate the retrofitted buildings. |
|
To promote
energy- and cost-efficient retrofit measures. |
