| It is widely known that the improvement of the energy performance of the existing building stock is a current priority action. This paper presents a methodological approach for the comparative assessment of retrofitting solutions, with the aim of contributing to retrofitting decision-making, considering both the environmental and economic impacts through the life cycle approach. The objective of this research is to explore, through a case study, whether the current renovation measures in the Northern Spain are suitable when the holistic life cycle perspective is considered. Moreover, four retrofitting scenarios have been proposed, from the Business as Usual scenario, through Spanish Building Regulation requirements (both for existing and for new buildings) up to the Passive House standard, in order to analyze the implications of the different requirements and policy schemes. Results show how the solutions that fulfill the Spanish regulation for existing buildings are not optimal solutions from the environmental perspective. The Passive House standard is neither optimal from the financial approach. | |
