| Stated aim of project |
|
The Engelsby project involved the implementation of new and innovative solar based techniques in the renovation of three eight-storey tower blocks. The energy demands for heating, ventilation and production of domestic hot water are expected to be reduced by 60%. Furthermore, significant improvements of the thermal comfort and the air quality are expected. The results from the project show that it is possible to carry out an ambitious building renovation based on utilisation of solar energy. However, it is important to be aware that a successful result with respect to the implementation of solar measures still often depends on external subsidies. |
