Abstract: A very large percentage of the European residential building stock is ageing and does not comply with current energy regulations. The need to complete short-term energy upgrading on these buildings in order to improve performance and meet current regulations poses a considerable challenge. Consistent energy methodologies are needed for mass application of suitable technologies in sensitive points such as the façade, saving time by guiding designers on use of preferred climatic design strategies for each situation and with economic feasibility.
