Title: Energy efficiency solutions for historic buildings
Description: The handbook holistically summarizes the principles of energy retrofitting historic listed buildings, from the first diagnosis to the clearly and pragmatically designed intervention: the preservation of the historic structure, user comfort, and energy efficiency. Structural principles and criteria for the conservation of historic buildings form the basics. Design examples, calculations, and results from an extensive series of measurements created on the basis of eight Best Practice case studies, make this manual an indispensable tool for all planners working in this field. The content was developed over several years by an interdisciplinary team of researchers, and reflects a wide range of different expertise.The book holistically summarizes the principles of corrective maintenance and energy retrofitting of historic and listed buildings, from diagnosis to intervention: asset preservation, user comfort, and energy efficiency. Constructions, calculations, and test series created by an interdisciplinary team of researchers in eight case studies, make the manual an indispensable planning tool.
