Abstract

Most of the urban housing stock in Latvia as well as in major part of EU cities consists of apartment multistory buildings. The improvements in energy efficiency of these buildings are the key priorities in many countries. However, unclassified buildings have a significant potential for the application of innovative energy efficient measures. This study analyzes the energy consumption of such buildings as military buildings, police departments, and fire stations, with particular attention on retrofitting options for fire station. Similar to apartment buildings these type of buildings are connected to centralized district heating systems. In the scope of this paper energy consumption of unclassified buildings were analyzed based on statistic data. In addition, the impact of renovation measures on energy consumption was analyzed. The fire station was selected as majority of such buildings have a similar floor plan layout and usage profile.
