Comprehensive retrofit of an existing multi-unit residential building : impacts on energy performance and green house gas emissions.: NH18-33/25-2018E-PDF
"To better understand the energy, greenhouse gas (GHG), and cost impacts of energy upgrades undertaken at the time of major capital replacements, this study looked at a comprehensive retrofit of a typical 1970s rental apartment building located in Victoria, BC. The building owners approached the required capital replacements as an opportunity to not only improve the appearance of the building but also its energy efficiency. In addition to replacing the roof membrane, balconies, windows, sliding glass doors, and exterior wall cladding, the project involved several key energy efficiency upgrades including the addition of exterior insulation at the walls and roof as well as replacement of the existing heating boiler and domestic hot water heater with high-efficiency condensing equipment"--Introduction.
