The handbook holistically summarizes the principles of energy retrofitting historic listed buildings, from the first diagnosis to the clearly and pragmatically designed intervention: the preservation of the historic structure, user comfort, and energy efficiency. Structural principles and criteria for the conservation of historic buildings form the basics. Design examples, calculations, and results from an extensive series of measurements created on the basis of eight Best Practice case studies, make this manual an indispensable tool for all planners working in this field.
