Retrofit at scale: accelerating capabilities for domestic building stocks

چکیده
Highlights Retrofitting domestic buildings is essential for meeting targets to mitigate the catastrophic impacts of our changing climate. Current rates retrofitting are far lower than necessary achieving global net zero climate targets. To date in privately owned homes, policymakers have largely relied on piecemeal activity and often short-lived programmes financial incentives. Consequently, this special issue explores what capabilities capacities needed deliver retrofit at scale. Looking across different scales—national, municipal, neighbourhood individual sites—this provides insights shape policies, organisational structures delivery strategies scales, building types supply chain actors. These papers highlight need a clearer definition incorporates, alongside collection high-quality data rigorous metrics. In addition, diverse business models ensure that variety actors public private sectors well positioned engage coordinating Finally, it any acceleration coupled with consumer protection mechanisms support developing chains which incorporates both existing workers encouragement new entrants. It only through multifaceted approach can be delivered speed scale necessary.

Towards Data-driven Building Retrofit
Due to the relatively low construction rate of new buildings in Europe, the energetic performance of the building stock can mainly be improved by retrofitting existing buildings. Current methods to derive and assess retrofit measures require either on-site inspection by an expert consultant and code based approaches, or numerical simulations using a building energy model that needs to be first ...
متن کاملIntegrated solar thermal façade system for building retrofit
In the perspective of the Net Zero Energy Buildings as specified in the EPBD 2010/31/EU, we propose the concept and design of a modular unglazed solar thermal (UST) façade component for facilitating the installation of active solar façades. The renovation of existing buildings offers an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency when using such a system and a novel design methodology tackled ...
متن کاملModelling Urban Scale Retrofit, Pathways to 2050 Low Carbon Residential Building Stock
A bottom up engineering modelling approach has been used to investigate the pathways to 2050 low carbon residential building stock. The impact of housing retrofit, renewable technologies, occupant behaviour, and grid decarbonisation is measured at a local authority scale. The results of this exercise were visualised using a client web application, or ‘demonstrator,’ which was developed to allow...
