Abstract

This research presents a comprehensive cost-optimal approach for existing building retrofits. The approach incorporates energy efficiency measures related to building envelope, building energy systems and renewable energy, all at once. Moreover, the cost-optimal calculation scope is extended through integration of occupant behaviour.
