  • Architectural and energy saving refurbishment of buildings
    Kristl, Živa ; Zbašnik-Senegačnik, Martina
    In the paper an energy-retrofitting study of an existing building in Ljubljana is presented, which was carried out during a research project of rehabilitation of large neighbourhoods in Slovenia that ... were constructed in the preriod between 1945 and 1965. In the first phase of the project, the state-of-the-art was established via a poll carried out among the residents of several neighbourhoods and via expert inspection. In the second phase, a method was applied to an existing neighbourhood in Ljubljana. According to the technology of that period, the buildings were made of brick walls, mont panels, fibre-cement roofing and box windows all of which does not comply with the present quality of living or technical standards. The energy refurbishment project comprises use of better thermal insulation and low-E windows, glazing of balconies and active solar system. The case study shows that energy consumption can be lowered by more than 60%, compared to the present state, not taking into account electricity savings. The project presents a model for future energy revitalizations of multi-storey residential buildings. A similar method can be applied to holiday apartment buildings and small hotels from the same period, which need to be renovated.
