Abstract
The paper presents a case study home in an 1870s three-story residential setting of around 80m2 footprint in Malta. The home is indicative of many other houses on the estate that are difficult to sell or rent owing to their age, construction, and lack of care. There are 153,100 inhabited houses in Malta, and their energy usage accounts for 30% of CO2 emissions. In addition, over 70,000 are uninhabited. Three-quarters of all inhabited dwellings will still be in use by 2050 with a goal of above 90% CO2 reduction. Various energy-saving options are examined using a techno-economic evaluation methodology, including upgraded lighting equipment and appliances, photovoltaics, wind turbines, and energy storage. Based on yearly estimates, the findings indicate the kWh reduced and its cost by each proposed measure over a 25-year timeframe.
