PART II: The inside of the building
In historic buildings energy efficiency measures should only be provided if they do not alter the unique character of the building or increase the risk of long-term deterioration to fabric or fittings. However, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t ways of creating a better comfort and a lower yearly primary energy consummation while not changing the appearance of the building.
In this part the internal adaptations and possibilities of historic buildings are being summarized. This includes internal isolation on walls and roofs, internal sun screens, etc., so every change that does not affect a unique or protected part of the building.
This means that (dis)advantages, possible problems, limitations, options or changes of the envelope are discussed, with the goal to optimize or change parts of the building’s interior aren’t protected.
Next to general remarks
measures following
the three steps of the Trias Energetica can be found: the reduction of
the
energy demand, the use of renewable energy and third the high efficient
conversion
of non-renewable energy.
This part exists of following chapters:
5: Renewable heat and cold production
7:
Integrating ventilation systems
