Original situation

A 1970s three family apartment with 312m2 of treated floor area, an  uninsulated roof, 50m of balconies and an only lightly insulated brick façade. The windows are double-glazed with aluminium frames that are not thermally broken. The building has a low airtightness level of n50 = 5 ACH (as compared to 0.6 ACH for the Passive House Standard). 

After completion, the building will be the first multifamily EnerPHit in Athens.

Renovation approach

Monitoring post-renovation is now underway.

 

Renovation approach document

Modernisation proposal

EnerPHit Energy Demand Method. This means that we will achieve EnerPHit level energy demanf (25 kWh/m2a) certification by insulating the entire envelope, minimsing existing themal bridges, replacing windows,  improving airtightness and installing mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

Efficiency improvement

Renovation will reduce the heating demand by factor of 10 and the cooling demand by a factor 3.
