Little has been published on the subject of
energy-efficient refurbishment of offices, despite
the growing need to refurbish older office building
stock throughout Europe, and the global requirement
to conserve energy.
The book suggests the most energy efficient
and environmentally friendly way to refurbish
offices using examples of real buildings and
designs wherever possible. Each case study includes
a building description, the retrofitting strategy,
passive and low energy technologies used, energy
assessment, comfort and environment assessment,
financial assessment, client and market assessment,
and conclusion.
This practical design manual will be invaluable
for architects and engineers specialising in
the refurbishment of commercial buildings.
