Friendly and Affordable Sustainable Urban Districts Retrofitting (FASUDIR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"About 40% of overall energy consumption in Europe is related to the building sector and over 50% of all materials extracted from earth are transformed into construction materials and products. With more than 70% of the building stock built before the first energy crisis (1970’s), energy retrofitting of buildings is envisaged as the most promising strategy to reach EU’s “20-20-20” targets. However ...
