Principle Characteristics of the Buildings:
| Ownership type: | 63 Social Housing Units |
| Location: | Bilzen (Gansbeekwijk), Limburg, Belgium. |
| Renovation Completed: | 10/2022 – 11/2023 |
| Structure: | Renovating houses through targeted energy efficiency measures for social housing with pre- and post-monitoring of real energy performance. |
| Heating and energy: | Pre and post monitoring, advanced insulation, high-efficiency windows and doors, state-of-the-art hybrid heat pumps. |
| Energy performance: | 60% average reduction in energy costs. Before renovation, the EPB calculations defined a total characteristic energy demand of 293 kWh/m2 (E 243 label), whereas the actual measure performance indicated a heat demand of 63kWh/m2 (which, inserted in EPB software would have meant a E62 – label). After renovation, the theoretical EPB performance dropped to 72kWh/m2 (E28 label), where the real performance measures only measured 39kWh/m2 (E3). |
