Abstract
This paper analyses the feasibility of Nearly Zero-Energy
Building Renovation from the technical, environmental,
economic and social point of view using the energy
consumption calculations for country-specific reference
case buildings before renovation, after a traditional
renovation and after a Nearly Zero-Energy Building
Renovation (NZEBR) as the starting point. Technical
feasibility is analyzed by examining the proven
technology level, possible technical risks in renovation
or with respect to the energy performance and assessment
of the overall technical feasibility for individual NZEBR
measures. Social feasibility is analyzed by examining the
impact on living space and other social aspects and the
overall assessment of social feasibility for individual
NZEBR measures. Environmental feasibility is analyzed by
comparing the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of
traditional renovation and NZEBR using the Life Cycle
Analysis (LCA) method. Economic feasibility is analyzed
by comparing traditional renovation with NZEBR using the
Life Cycle Costing (LCC) method.
