Abstract

New construction represent only one percent of construction per year in European countries. Re-valuing the existing building stock is therefore a priority. Using bio-based insulation for energy retrofit and the reuse of building component in case of building demolition represent promising carbon-neutral solutions for the construction sector.

Objective

- Adopt a methodology for the retrofit of historic buildings as well as 50’s to 80’s building stock. - Understand and manage the moisture risks when retrofitting buildings. - Know the biobased insulation market. - Practice deconstruction of existing building, from dismantling to reuse. - Challenge the conventional building design to maximize its potential for later reuse.
