Task 59 Renovating
Historic Buildings
Towards Zero Energy
Status Completed (2017 - 2021)
Website task59.iea-sheorg/
Overview
In many countries historic buildings represent a significant share of
the existing building stock. They are the distinctive features of
numerous cities, and will only survive if maintained as living spaces,
To preserve this heritage, it is necessary lo find conservation-
compatible energy retrofit approaches and solutions, which allow the
historie and aesthetic values to be maintained while imgroving
comfort, lowering energy costs and minimizing environmental
Completed examples have shown that reducing the energy demand by
75% may be possible for historic buildings while preserving their
heritage value, A considerabie reduction in demand - together with
optimised use of passive solar design - opens up the possibility of
proceeding with an effective solar contribution towards a net zero
energy building (NZEB). In this context, the opportunities for
using solar energy in histori buildings are far more substantial than
fone might initially expect, especially if solar panels / collect
compatible in colour and design, are wisely integrated as
interfere aesthetically with the building, and their inst

— Identity and assess replicable procedures on how experts can
work together with integrated design to maintain both the heritage
value of he building and at the same time make it energy efficient
and develop tools which support this procedure and its individual
steps,
— Identify and assess conservation compatible retrofit solutions with
a ‘whole building perspective’, specifically identity the potential for
the use of solar energy (passive and active, heating, cooling and
electricity) and promote best practice solutions
Deliverables
— a web-based collection and documentation of approximately 50
case studies of best practice from all participating countries,
— an integrated platform with tools for holistic historie buildings
retrofit to support the planning process towards conservation
compatible NZEBs,
— reports on conservation compatible energy retrofit technologies
and strategies to echieve high energy and environmental
performance
