Energy Refurbishments
Energy efficiency norms, issued by the European Union following the Kyoto Protocol, have set clear objectives to member countries: a reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions by 20% and an increase in the use of renewable energy sources by 20% by 2020. As buildings account for approximately 40% of all energy consumption, and almost 50% of CO2 emissions, the energy renovation of existing properties will play an important role in reaching these goals. Why undertake energy refurbishments?
- Because organizations have social and environmental responsibilities
- Because consumers continue to migrate towards organizations that demonstrate sustainable behavior towards the environment
- Because a reduction in energy consumption means a significant reduction in fixed costs andCO2 emissions, and increased comfort in the workplace
- Because energy renovation is still voluntary (for now) and rewarded with tax reductions and financial incentives
- Because energy renovation means protecting the value of existing buildings in the property market
We assist organizationsEnergy refurbishments aim to:
- Analyze total energy consumption of a building (heating, cooling, lighting, air treatment,
- Identify inefficiencies
- assess technical and economical feasibility of solutions to improve energy performance
- propose solutions that have the best cost-benefit ratio and improve comfort
