DEMOHOUSE: Design and Management Options for Improving the Energy Performance of Housing

DEMOHOUSE is focused on improving sustainable renovation of the existing housing stock in Europe.
A recently developed Decision Support Tool provides simple guidelines to help energy-efficient and sustainable renovation of dwellings.
The overall goal in DEMOHOUSE research and innovation is to reduce energy consumption for heating, cooling, ventilation and domestic hot water in renovation of housing by at least 30%, compared to the present standards. In addition, a decision support tool will be developed to assist project developers, housing corporations etc. with a viable implementation of the measures suggested. This includes a closer look at organizational and financial aspects of renovation.
The project website contains a number of reports, best available technologies, and lessons learned from demonstration projects.
