Case studies from the U.S.A. and Europe show that that Deep Energy Retrofit can be achieved with a limited core technologies bundle readily available on the market. Characteristics of some of these core technology measures depend on the technologies available on an individual nation?s market, on the minimum requirements of national standards, and on economics (as determined by a life cycle cost analysis). Also, requirements to building envelope-related technologies (e.g., insulation levels, windows, vapor and water barriers, and requirements for building airtightness) depend on specific climate conditions. This Guide provides best practice examples of how to apply these technologies in different construction situations. High levels of energy use reduction using core technology bundles along with improvements in indoor climate and thermal comfort can be only achieved when a Deep Energy Retrofit adopts a quality assurance process. In addition to design, construction, commissioning, and post-occupancy phases of the quality assurance process, the Guide emphasizes the importance of clearly and concisely formulating and documenting the Owner?s goals, expectations, and requirements for the renovated building during development of the statement of work. Another important component of the quality assurance process is a procurement phase, during which bidders? qualifications, their understanding of the scope of work and its requirements, and their previous experience are analyzed. The building sector holds the potential for tremendous improvements in terms of energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, and energy retrofits to the existing building stock represent a significant opportunity in the transition to a low-carbon future. Moreover, investing in highly efficient building materials and systems can replace long-term energy imports, contribute to cost cutting, and create a wealth of new jobs. Yet, while the technologies needed in order to improve energy efficiency are readily available, significant progress has not yet been made, and ?best practices? for implementing building technologies and renewable energy sources are still relegated to small ?niche? applications. Offering essential information on Deep Energy Retrofits, the book offers a valuable asset for architects, public authorities, project developers, and engineers alike. 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aForce and energy 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnergy consumption 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aEnergy Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z21000 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/122000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aForce and energy. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEnergy consumption. 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 14$aEnergy Materials. 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEnergy Efficiency. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 676 $a696 676 $a696 700 $aZhivov$b Alexander$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888480 702 $aLohse$b Ru?diger$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910412151503321 996 $aDeep Energy Retrofit$91984965 997 $aUNINA
