The Real Sustainability
Just an idea for sustainable renovation.
What strikes us
What strikes us is the huge difference between predicted and real energy use in buildings. Many articles about this issue have been published the last years (see references below). It appears to us that sustainability looks good on paper but is little cared about afterwards. Or even more undesirable: it compromises on indoor climate. Are we fooling ourselves? To some extent, yes. Predictions made in the design phase are based on assumptions and internationally agreed standards and values.
