IED and LCA in Design Processes for Refurbishment (LB-17-C043)

This paper addresses issues from DGNB refurbishment and explores how a design process can be streamlined to address refurbishment and still preserve the gains from IED. Registration of the existing conditions is a prerequisite for a good design process where the software tools developed to ensure low energy consumption and good indoor climate can be used, and 3D scanning is therefore making a new and important contribution. The paper includes case studies of both ideal and applied design processes from an architectural office that specializes in sustainable projects.
