Energy Retrofit Cost-Optimal Design Solutions in Social Housing. The Case of Three Tower Buildings of the 1980s
This paper focuses on the energy retrofit cost-optimal analysis in the usual and deep building renovation scenarios, considering the importance of non-energy-related aspect in an integrated design approach. This objective is developed within the Italian regulation framework on energy efficiency and building renovation. Nowadays, the great part of tax incentives is given to retrofits merely based on technologies existing in the market, without any balanced design approach that may lead to the optimal solution.
