Abstract

The retrofit measures for improving the energy performance of a building and the reduction of its environmental impact are crucial to achieving the goal of an overall improvement in sustainability. In this Chapter, one hundred retrofit measures that can be implemented in existing buildings are presented and discussed. The information contained, however, may in some cases also be used for buildings of new construction. For each of these measures, essential information needed to direct the auditor to the aspects to check and the necessary details to effect the measure correctly are provided.

    Grid parity occurs when an alternative energy source can generate electricity at a cost that is less than or equal to the price of purchasing power from the electricity grid. Reaching grid parity is considered to be an important point in the development of new sources of power.
