Abstract
The existing building stock has been typically renovated
more because of functional and visual obsolescence than
technological obsolescence. Today this kind of renovation
is not enough; upgrading is needed to fulfil energy
efficiency requirements. The existing old companies have
conveniently left room for new companies to develop to
fill this niche in the market. The risk is that building
renovation could remain a perpetual opportunity and that
the building stock will eventually be replaced. This is
also one among solutions - if supply doesn't meet demand,
then the demand must be re-order to meet supply. Another
option is mat building renovation will produce a new
industry with own identity, production and process models
