    About ECBCS

    International Energy Agency

    The Internatonal Energy Agency (IEA) was establshed n 1974 wthn the framework of the Organsaton for Economc Co-operaton and Development (OECD) to mplement an nternatonal energy programme. A basc am of the IEA s to foster co-operaton among the twenty-eght IEA partcpatng countres and to ncrease energy securty through energy conservaton, development of alternatve energy sources and energy research, development and demonstraton (RD&D).

    Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems

    The IEA co-ordnates research and development n a number of areas related to energy. The msson of one of those areas, the ECBCS - Energy Conservaton for Buldng and Communty Systems Programme (www.ecbcs.org), s to develop and facilitate the integration of technologies and processes for energy efficiency and conservation into healthy, low emsson, and sustanable buldngs and communtes, through nnovaton and research.

    The research and development strateges of the ECBCS Programme are derved from research drvers, natonal programmes wthn IEA countres, and the IEA Future Buldng Forum Thnk Tank Workshop, held n March 2007. The R&D strateges represent a collectve nput of the Executve Commttee members to explot technologcal opportuntes to save energy n the buldngs sector, and to remove techncal obstacles to market penetraton of new energy conservation technologies. The R&D strategies apply to residential, commercial, office buildings and communty systems, and wll mpact the buldng ndustry n three focus areas of R&D actvtes:

    Dssemnaton,

    Decson-makng,

    Buldng products and systems.

    The Executive Committee

    Overall control of the program s mantaned by an Executve Commttee, whch not only montors exstng projects but also identifies new areas where collaborative effort may be beneficial. To date the following projects have been ntated by the executve commttee on Energy Conservaton n Buldngs and Communty Systems (completed projects are identified in grey):

    The potental for energy conservaton n buldngs s largely domnated by the exstng stock. In most ndustralzed countres new buldngs wll only contrbute 10% - 20% addtonal energy consumpton by 2050, whereas more than 80% will be influenced by the existing building stock. If buldng renovaton contnues at the current rate and wth the present common polcy, between one to over four centures wll be necessary to mprove the buldng stock to the energy level of current new constructon.

    Currently, most buldng renovatons address solated buldng components, such as roofs, faades or heatng systems. Ths often results in inefficient and ultimately expensive solutions, wthout an approprate long term energy reducton. Optmal results cannot be acheved by sngle renovaton measures and new problems could arse, for example local condensaton or overheatng.

    The objectve of the ECBCS research project, Annex 50: Prefabricated Systems for Low Energy Renovation of Residential Buildings has been the development and demonstraton of nnovatve whole buldng renovaton concepts for typcal European apartment buldngs. The concepts are based largely on standardsed

    faade and roof systems that are sutable for prefabrcaton. The hghly nsulated new buldng envelope ncludes the ntegraton of a ventlaton system.

    Fgure 1 shows the prefabrcated faade modules that are used to construct a new buldng envelope outsde the exstng buldng. Ths s physcally optmal and does not reduce avalable space.

    The concept s focussed on typcal apartment buldngs that represent approxmately 40% of the European dwellng stock. The advantages nclude:

    Achieving energy efficiency and comfort for exstng apartment buldngs comparable to new advanced low energy buldngs (30 - 50 kWh/m per year);

    Optmsed constructon qualty and cost efficiency due to prefabri-cation;

    Opportuntes to create attractve new lvng space n the prefabrca-ted attc space and by ncorporatng exstng balcones nto the lvng space;

    Fast renewal process wth mnmal dsturbances for the nhabtants.

    Target Audiences

    Prefabricated Systems for Low Energy Renovation of Residential Buildings s delverng information for building designers who focus on advanced building retrofit, energy, HVAC (heatng, ventlaton and ar condtonng) and sustanable constructon, the buldng ndustry with an interest in prefabrication of high performance energy building retrofit, apartment building owners wth an nterest n advanced renovaton concepts, as well as a general audence.

    The project outcomes are gven below.

    Retrofit Strategies Design Guide

    A building retrofit guide [1] has been produced documentng typcal solutons for whole buldng renovatons, ncludng prefabrcated roofs with integrated HVAC components and for advanced faade renovaton. The report s supplemented by the Retrofit Simulation Report [9] and an electronic Retrofit Advisor [2], which allows a computer-based evaluaton of sutable renovaton strateges.

    Sustainable Building Stock Renewal as Major Challenge

    Energy efficient new buildings are important, but the energy consumpton of the exstng buldng stock s more crtcal. The mportance of buldng renewal for sustanable development s unquestonable. Untl 2050 about 90% of the energy consumpton of buldngs wll be caused by buldngs bult before 2000. At the same tme exstng buldngs often offer low comfort and flexibility and can no longer compete with modern buldngs. The degradaton of old neghbourhoods is often just a matter of time. Repair and soft renovatons cannot solve the problem and partal renovations are expensive and inefficient.

    The ECBCS research project Annex 50: Prefabrcated Systems for Low Energy Renovation of Residential Buildings has chosen an entrely new approach to solve ths problem. Ths approach s based on the provson of a new buldng envelope that s easy to mount from the exterior and allows a lot of flexibility to improve the archtecture. Interor work s reduced to a mnmum. The concept s based on standardzed

    and prefabrcated renovaton modules for faades and roofs. The project has focused on apartment buldngs wth a general need for renovaton that should not only become energy efficient, but also requre mprovements to the archtecture and lvng comfort. The nternatonal project partners are unverstes, ndustry, archtects and buldng owners. The man research partners are lsted on page 16.

    Holistic Building Renewal

    The ECBCS research project Annex 50: Prefabrcated Systems for Low Energy Renovation of Residential Buildings offers new solutons for the holstc renewal of apartment buldngs. Energy reducton measures are often not economc n themselves. They have to be combned wth measures that also create added value. A comprehensve renewal s an opportunty for measures that not only repar a buldng, but also mprove t for future generatons. They allow f needed mprovements to the archtecture and layout.

    The concept that has been demonstrated s smple and clear: A new buldng envelope s placed around the exstng buldng. Ths also allows mprovements to the faades, the addton of room extensions or a new attic floor. The new buldng envelope has the qualty of new buldng constructon. It s well nsulated, physcally sound and offers excellent comfort. A new mechancal ventlaton system wth heat recovery a prerequste for low energy buldngs such as Passve-Houses - s ntegrated wthn the faade and roof modules. Optmsed constructons, efficient construction processes, high quality standards and relable budgetng are mportant features of ths concept.

    High Quality Renovation Modules for Faades and Roofs

    Fully ntegrated faade and roof modules have been developed n collaboraton wth European constructon companes. The hghly standardsed modules consst of lghtweght constructons, whch can be prefabrcated to any sze by constructon companes and mounted n collaboraton wth local contractors.

    These modules still allow flexibility. Only the basic constructon of the modules s standardsed. The modules guarantee dmensonally correct applcaton, excellent thermal nsulaton and fire protection according to individual national standards. The szes of the modules can be

    adapted easly to the exstng buldng and the final cladding is an architectural decision. This allows the archtect to concentrate on the faade appearance. Ventilated cladding systems and tradton renderng are both possble wth ths approach.

    Faade modules have been developed n Austra, France, Portugal, and Swtzerland. The solutons reflect different national requirements relating to the buldng stock and the local clmate and the preferences of the constructon ndustry. These are documented in [3] Retrofit Module Design Guide.

    The Swss faade modules only surround the wndow area. All detals to be co-ordnated are concentrated n ths area: wndow ntegraton, solar shadng, ventlaton ducts, and addtonal techncal servces such as IT or electrcal wrng. The spaces between wndow areas are nsulated wth mneral wool, foam nsulaton or blown-n fibres. The faade finish - ventilated cladding or renderng - s completed on ste.

    The startng pont for the Austran prefabrcated solar faade module s an external solar comb, significantly improving the U-value of the new envelope. The module s based on tmber-framed constructon, nternal nsulaton, and solar comb mounted on medium density fibreboard, and covered wth glass panels. The maxmum sze s determned by the transportaton to the

    constructon ste. The assembly s carred out horizontally on a wooden substructure. Various other components are ntegrated for example wndows wth venetan blnds, ventlaton ducts and solar thermal collectors. Ths converts the element to a mult-functonal solar faade module. The French team has tackled the problem of renovatng apartment blocks up to 8 storeys hgh. The loads and the lnked constrants demand a strong secondary structure ndependent of the exstng one. The mult-storey module s a combnaton of a lght steel framed structure and

    several layers of mneral wool. The modules are compatible with any kind of faade finish.

    The Portuguese study concentrated on small sze cassette shaped modules wth nsulaton optmzed for the Portuguese clmate. The cassettes of about 1 m x 1 m sze are fully prefabrcated. A specal mountng system allows smple assemblng and dsassemblng. It s based on profiles on each side of the modules, with a system of pins and holes fitting into a support structure fixed to the existing wall.

    3-D Measurement of Existing Buildings

    Specal 3-D laser scannng technologes and photogrammetry are appled to measure the exstng buldng envelope precsely to guarantee the renovation modules will finally fit on the exstng buldng envelope. Ths technology

    has been further developed for the purpose of buldng renovaton.

    Laser-Scanning

    The buldng s laser scanned from all sdes. Ths allows an accurate sometrc mappng of the buldng. Mllons of recorded ponts allow an accurate representaton of the buldng shape. Detaled measurements, rregulartes and dstortons of the buldng faades can be analysed and vsualsed by computer. The detaled data sets are then avalable for plannng, accurate producton of the prefabrcated elements and for mountng of the modules.

    Photogrammetry

    Photogrammetry can be used for buldngs wth true planar faades. It s much smpler to apply than laser scannng. The buldng can be photographed wth a good dgtal camera and the pctures are completed wth reference measurements. Specal computer programs allow normalsaton of the pctures, from whch 3-D measurements can then be taken.

    Renovation Process

    Exstng roofs may be completely removed and replaced by prefabrcated roof modules. Ths allows optmsed space use and the ntegraton of modern technologes such as solar panels, mechancal ventlaton, and so on. Ths opportunty s often used to create new and attractve attc apartments.

    In parallel, the mountng of the faade elements s beng prepared. In parallel wth the roof replacement, preparatons are requred for mountng the faade elements. If needed, exstng balcones - usually wth thermal brdges - are removed and the sze of wndow openngs adjusted. The buldng owners decde to what extent they wsh to change and mprove the exstng buldng structure. Often, the opportunty s used for optmsng the layout, for example exstng balcones are used to enlarge lvng rooms or ktchens. Ths can be done easly because a new external buldng envelope s constructed around the exstng buldng.

    Next, the prefabricated faade modules need to be fixed to the existing faade. Windows and solar shadng are normally ntegrated n these modules, as are the ducts for the ventlaton system or new electrcal wrng.

    If not already done, the old wndows can now be removed and the ar nlets and outlets drlled.

    Finally, the inside soffits are completed and decorated. If no other nternal refurbshment s planned, the retrofit is already completed. In fact, the tenants may stay n ther apartments durng the renovaton. The dsturbance s mnmal and lasts only a few days. If needed, room enlargements, roof extensons and attached elevators can be realsed at the same tme. The elements for roof extensons can be combned wth faade elements.

    Market Analysis and Concept Development

    The exstng buldng stock has been analysed and the requrements and possbltes for advanced low energy retrofit then evaluated. The study has produced a buldng typology that provdes basc data for the evaluaton of the renovaton potental of the exstng buldng stock. It s also used for the definition of retrofit strategies and the envelope characteristics of specific building types [6] [7]. Building simulations have been

    performed to ensure the proposed renovatons wll meet the energy goal of 30 to 50 kWh/m per year [9].

    Technology Development

    The establshment of buldng typologes s mportant for the development of standardsed faade and roof modules wth a large applcaton potental. So far, the prefabrcaton technologes for faade and roof modules have been developed and tested. Specal attenton was gven n the project not only to buldng physcs, but also to fire protection and logistics. The work resulted n the development of four dfferent renovaton modules [3].

    Specal attenton was gven to laser scannng methods for buldng measurements. The scannng process and the post treatment of

    data were further developed by the Unversty of Applied Sciences North-western Switzerland n collaboraton wth archtects and ndustry partners. Due to this precise and efficient measurement methodology, good technologcal progress n plannng, producton and mountng s expected to result from the project.

    Demonstration Projects

    Demonstraton projects are mportant to prove the practcal feasblty of the concept. To ths end, sx demonstraton stes ncludng 364 renovated apartments have been successfully completed n Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The energy consumpton of all renovated buldngs was reduced by 80% to 90%. In fact, the goal of 30 to 50 kWh/m per year for heatng and domestc hot water was easly acheved. Solar nstallatons on most of the buldngs are further

    reducng the energy consumpton to close to zero.

    Further demonstraton buldngs are expected to be completed after termnaton of the project. The demonstraton projects and case studes are documented in [4] Building Renovation Case Studies.

    Planning Tools

    Successful renovaton of a buldng s not only dependent on techncal ssues. The development of an optmal renovaton strategy s equally mportant. For ths purpose, the electronc Retrofit Advisor was developed. This allows the evaluaton and comparson of the economc,

    envronmental and socal mpact of the exstng stuaton, along wth those of dfferent renovaton strategies [2]. Besdes a number of renovaton strateges, t also allows the user to consder repar work only as a minimal solution and the demolition and reconstruction of the building as a maximal soluton. The tool has an nterface allowng easy use by non-specialists. It works with predefined building types and renovaton scenaros that may be adjusted to the real stuaton of nterest.
