Conservation-Compatible Retrofit Solutions in Historic Buildings: An Integrated Approach
Abstract
:1. Introduction
1.1. IEA-SHC Task 59: A Collaborative Research Project
2. Drivers and Barriers When Implementing Retrofit Solutions in the Built Heritage
2.1. The Impact of Legislation in the Adoption of Technical Retrofit Solutions
2.2. The Role of Economics in the Appraisal of Technical Retrofit Solutions
2.3. The Complexity of Decision Making as Part of a Multidisciplinary Approach
2.4. The Complex Nature of Conservation-Compatible Retrofit Solutions
3. The Challenge of Identifying Replicable Conservation-Compatible Retrofit Solutions
3.1. A Whole Building Approach in the IEA-SHC Task 59 Project
3.2. Towards a Sustainable Approach in the EN 16883:2017 Standard
- Multidisciplinary Planning Process (Subtask B): The scope of this thrust of the project is to increase the use and usability of the European guidelines to improve the energy performance of historic buildings and support professionals in the decision-making process. The main outcome is a handbook for the planning of energy retrofits in historic buildings.
- Conservation Compatible Retrofit Solutions and Strategies (Subtask C): This part of the project aims at further developing the assessment criteria (corresponding to step number 10) in the EN 16883:2017 that support the selection of solutions for energy refurbishment (Figure 2). The activity carried out in IEA-SHC Task 59 first led to the compilation of a long list of retrofit possibilities, identified from the information gathered through examples of good practice and research shared by experts and affiliated partners. Below, the general evaluation criteria available in the EN standard have been analysed and refined to make them specific to each building-element category of intervention and support the definition of a short list of solutions.
3.3. Conservation Compatible Retrofit Solutions and Strategies
- conservation compatibility with historic buildings,
- energy efficiency goals towards lowest possible energy demand and CO2 emissions (nZEB),
- technical compatibility and functionality.
- wall solutions: Thermal enhancement of external walls.
- window solutions: Conservation and restoration of historic windows with enhanced energy efficiency and user comfort.
- heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems: Ventilation systems and technical conditioning installations compatible for historic buildings.
- Solar technologies: thermal or photovoltaic systems, integrated or not, for historic buildings.
