Type: CaseStudy
Case Study (68 KB PDF)Summary
The project was executed in a complex of 6 standard pre-fabricated panel type buildings in the town of Radomir, Bulgaria, and the implemented measures for improving energy performance of the building shell were: application of thermal insulation on the exterior walls, roofs and basement ceilings; replacement of wooden windows and doors with aluminium ones and repair of carpentry; thermal insulation and glazing of balconies; replacement of main entrances; restriction of air circulation in the joints.
Results
As a result of the measures undertaken the thermal characteristics of the buildings have been significantly improved and the inhabitants have enjoyed increased thermal comfort in comparison with the non-insulated buildings.
