Proxy typologies – quick and easy shortcut for unknown constructions
Proxy typologies – quick and easy shortcut for unknown constructions When planning the energy efficiency of the climate shell of an older building, it is not particularly certain that you know how external walls, roofs, etc. are built up. Visually, it is impossible to determine, and drawings or other documents that could reveal how the […]
Energy renovation with the climate shell at the centre
Energy renovation with the climate shell at the centre Properties can be made more energy efficient essentially in two different ways: through building- or installation technology, and usually both ways are combined. In this blog post, we concentrate on building engineering improvements. Why invest in the climate shell? Energy-efficient properties are well-insulated and airtight. This […]
