Description

The primary objective of the EI-Education was to give the European social housing companies and municipalities knowledge and tools to perform energy efficient retrofitting in form of a guidebook with best practical examples, ideas and checklists.
The guidebook describes why to renovate, when to renovate and how to renovate and contains the following chapters:
1. Status quo on energy intelligent retrofitting in 6 countries;
2. When to renovate: represents the political and strategic level. It gives inputs for the discussions in your organisation – from general information on the EPBD (Directive on Energy Performance in Buildings) over metering and energy book-keeping to financing concepts;
3. How to renovate: presentsrelevant best practice technologies. For each technical element is a description of why and how to use it. The descriptions are meant to be a help in deciding how to renovate. The descriptions can also be used as a “Technical Energy Savings’ Encyclopedia”;
4. Checklists & tools: presents a number of checklists and tools that can help to implement energy savings in a concrete project;
5. Best practice examples: presents best practice examples, which have all saved al least 30 % of the energy consumption compared with the situation before the renovation. The examples come from 10 different countries in Europe and are categorized in three groups:
- Technology & Environment
- Organisation & Financing
- Policy & Strategy;
6. Recommendations to overcome barriers and support drivers: listing typical drivers and barriers for energy intelligent retrofitting in Europe – and recommendations on how to manage the processes;
7. Literature and links: presents references and recommended reading.
