BUILDING THERMAL MODERNIZATION. ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTS - KRZYSZTOF KASPERKIEWICZ

Saving energy is a key challenge of the 21st century. This publication comprehensively addresses the issue of thermal modernization, indicating actions, sequence, and methods for assessing energy savings. Ideal for those involved in energy assessment of buildings, contractors of thermal insulation works, owners of single-family houses, and property managers.

• Comprehensive approach to building thermal modernization.
• Instructions on the sequence of thermal modernization activities.
• Methods for assessing ventilation heat losses and solar heat gains.
• For experts, contractors, and property managers.
• Guaranteed savings and usage-dependent savings.
• Adaptation of the heating system to reduced heat losses of the building.

This publication provides a comprehensive approach to the topic of building thermal modernization, offering practical guidance on actions, their sequence, and methods for assessing the energy savings achieved. It is divided into two parts, taking into account guaranteed savings, dependent on climatic conditions, and those resulting from the way the building is used. It has been shown that adapting the heating system to reduced heat losses of the building is crucial to increasing the energy efficiency of building thermal modernization.

The author presents original methods for assessing ventilation heat losses and solar heat gains, which are the result of his scientific work. This book is an invaluable source of knowledge for people involved in the energy assessment of buildings, as well as for contractors of thermal insulation works, owners of single-family houses, and property managers. It contains specific guidelines that help to effectively carry out thermal modernization activities and achieve real energy savings.
