Title: | UD+EE=Comfort? Merging Energy Efficiency and Universal Design in Housing Renovations | Authors: | KAPEDANI, Ermal Bonneux, Shana VERBEECK, Griet HERSSENS, Jasmien |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | Doctoral Seminar on Sustainability Research in the Built Environment 2016, Leuven - Belgium, 28-29 April 2016 | Abstract: | Context: As part of the drive for greater sustainability in the building stock, public policy and societal objectives aim for higher numbers of housing renovations that accommodate lifelong living and significantly increase energy efficiency (Figure 1). Research problem: Despite much research on both UD and EE, these two fields are treated separately in literature and practice. However, this is a missed opportunity to create synergies and offer more complete and attractive renovation concepts (Figure 2). | Keywords: | Energy efficiency (EE); universal design (UD); comfort; single family house; renovation; sociotechnical approach; non-energy benefits | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/22656 | Link to publication/dataset: | www.uhasselt.be/Documents/Doctoral-School/DSBE/Poster-DS2BE-2016_9_ErmalKapedani.pdf | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
