Email this article RETROFITTING OF A HISTORIC PUBLIC BUILDING FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY: EXPLORING MEASUREMENTS AND ATTITUDES FOR HERITAGE CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS
Abstract
In the last few decades, there is a trend towards the energy performance enhancement and improve of the indoor comfort conditions of heritage buildings. The architectural heritage and aesthetic value do not allow typical retrofit intervention. All the Governmental and planning directives are mainly sympathize on saving energy in existing buildings and are not afford the historical buildings. Architectural Heritage bodies (national and international) have to act to determine type of energy retrofit measurements that can be applied to historical buildings to conserve their value. In the other hand there is a need to enhance the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of historic buildings. The aim of this project is to reduce the energy use of a heritage building through technical interventions and selecting specific retrofit measurements. Then evaluate each of these interventions through sustainable tools. Designing energy efficiency retrofits for existing buildings has benefit for environmental, economic, social, and health sectors. This study describe a methodology for adopting IES-VE Virtual Environment - Integrated Environmental Solutions tool as energy and environmentally conscious decision-making aids. The methodology has been developed to monitor buildings for potential improvements and to support the development of retrofit strategies. Here present a case study of a banqueting renovation project, implementing IES approaches to energy efficiency retrofits in Historical public building (HPB). To generate energy savings, there are several alteration of improving were added to the building. In each alteration for the building energy consumption and mean radiant temperature were examined. The results reveal that with all the improvements that applied to the building there is a potential in reducing 45% the total system energy demand. Restoration of historical building is of paramount interest for preserving the character and history of a locality. Environment friendly retrofitting, on the other hand, helps reducing the footprint of such old energy inefficient structures. Simulation of various energy efficient retrofitting is of paramount interest for planners to decide upon the best option for optimal performance of the building. Although a number of articles have been published in this area, every new building comes with unique challenges, therefore unique in its own way and highly significant.
