Abstract

Future building renovation concerns sustainability in broader perspectives facilitated by holistic renovation scenarios. The aim of this paper is firstly identification of both objective and subjective used sustainability sub-criteria and their relevant most effective Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in building renovation context. It is carried out by adopting a five-stage systematic methodology including review of Danish Standards for the renovation of dwellings. This is a focal point for most – if not all – design team and consultancies interested in renovation projects. Whilst the answer to this is of course very contextual, this paper presents an overview of the sustainability criteria beside their relevant KPIs and how they are perceived and measured by the professional practitioners. To do so, the efforts are put in place towards the development of a rating scale to measuring the sustainability-related measurable KPIs in the generation and evaluation of holistic renovation scenarios for dwellings.

Highlights

  • The efforts are put in place towards the development of a rating scale to measuring the sustainability-related measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the generation and evaluation of holistic renovation scenarios for dwellings

  • Today buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU [1]

  • The exploration of KPIs will appreciate the accessible data, resources and time, besides the interests and needs of the particular group involved in the identification of KPIs

Summary

Introduction

Today buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU [1]. Buildings may be less costly to operate, may grow in value, last longer, and contribute to a preferable, healthier, more convenient environment to the occupants [3]. When all these interventions are summated, they can move the renovation case towards the goal of overall sustainability, which demands more holistic renovation approaches. The terms sustainable renovation and holistic renovation scenarios in this paper serve to underline a holistic approach where various objectives linking to the sustainability in its full sense are targeted and achieved in a balanced way. This is attained by selecting and mixing various types of renovation approaches through the development of holistic renovation scenarios
