Abstract

Energy requirements are variously specified in different countries. In many cases, different technology is applied. For this reason, improving the energy quality and indoor environmental quality in retrofit buildings requires a detailed study case. Modification of the building structure and technical systems is not sufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to change the behavior of inhabitants and create uniform zones in terms of usage. Preparation of the modernization of building requires elaboration of a detailed concept. Taking all aspects into account is not easy; that is why, in modernized buildings, the design phase often requires more work, time, and nonstandard solutions.
