2. 1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Preservation of Historic Buildings : Methods and Tools for Modeling

   Author : Torun Widström; Folke Björk; Carl-Eric Hagentoft; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy efficiency; preservation; historic buildings; building simulation;

   Abstract : As the environmental impacts of the energy usage of the world today becomes more and more evident, enhancement of energy performance of the already existing building stock becomes more urgent. Buildings belonging to the cultural heritage are often the ones that are most difficult to deal with in this context. READ MORE

4. 2. Evaluation of Thermal Comfort and Night Ventilation in a Historic Office Building in Nordic Climate

   Author : Hossein Bakhtiari; Mathias Cehlin; Jan Akander; Abolfazl Hayati; Patrik Rohdin; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; historic buildings; office buildings; Nordic climate; thermal comfort; field on-site measurements; standardized questionnaire; building management system BMS ; night ventilation NV ; building energy simulation BES ; IDA-ICE; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Abstract : Envelopes with low thermal performance are common characteristics in European historic buildings resulting in insufficient thermal comfort and higher energy use compared to modern buildings. There are different types of applications for the European historic buildings such as historic churches, historic museums, historic theatres, etc. READ MORE

5. 3. Simulation of historic buildings for enhancement of preservation and energy performance – issues and methods

   Author : Torun Widström; Folke Björk; Kjartan Gudmundsson; Jesper Arfvidsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building simulation; historic buildings; energy performance; damage risk; mould; thermal bridges; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Historic buildings are often particularly poorly insulated and difficult to heat, and are also at risk for several reasons. These include potential lack of use due to low thermal comfort leading to low or no profitability, damage risks due to over and under-climatization and risks due to climate change altering the boundary conditions that they were built for.
