Due to worldwide concern about global warming new and effective solutions for energy saving are being developed and implemented. The final thesis addresses various challenges related to the energy retrofitting of multi-storey residential buildings and research on the efficiency of different measures for energy sufficiency improvement of residential buildings. In the first chapter of thesis the principals of energy saving, and energy retrofitting of buildings are analysed, followed by exploring of legal regulation and financial frameworks for innovative buildings modernisation methods. The practical part of the thesis presents the research on the energy efficiency improvement measures and building retrofitting scenarios, which are adopted in European countries. Three case studies for energy retrofitting of residential buildings, located in Kaunas, were analysed and the most efficient retrofitting scenario was selected by implementing life cycle cost analysis and marginal costs method. The conducted research showed sufficiency of these for assessment of energy saving efficiency in buildings. |
