The Institute of Zero Energy Buildings – INZEB.ORG, National Supporting Partner of Renovate Europe Campaign, during and in the context of the Green Building Expo 2014, organised the first interactive workshop on energy reduction, looking specifically at the renovation of two apartments in Greece, one in Florina (northern Greece) and one in Athens. The workshop’s aim was that all the participants (architects, civil and mechanical engineers) would brainstorm and work together towards finding energy saving solutions which would lead to the reduction of the apartments’ energy consumption.
The process and the results of this first workshop are being presented here, where one can see the energy consumption of the apartments before any intervention, the suggested solutions as well as, the results of them and the Return of Investment in the energy upgrading of the two apartments.
