@conference { , title = {A case study of retrofitting a non-domestic building in Scotland.}, abstract = {Enhancing the energy performance of buildings is a complex undertaking which involves the implementation of various measures which can include: insulation using innovative technologies in-particular for hard-to-treat buildings (e.g. historic listed buildings), installation of small scale renewable technologies, such as PV solar, solar thermal, wind-turbines…etc., and influencing end-users behaviours to reduce energy consumption.This paper presents a case study of a non-domestic building (Further Education –FE- College) in Edinburgh. The paper reports on the progress to-date for the energy refurbishment of the building which is focused on investment in renewable energy technologies. Phase one, which is now completed, involved the installation of a 50 kWp PV panels on the roof of the building at three areas: Sports Hall, Engineering section, and Southern Side. The benefits accrued from investment in renewable technologies includes: potential energy savings, research and educational, and income generation. Drawing on this project experience, the following issues should be considered in the future when retrofitting buildings: funding schemes, technology selection and integration, skills and training, and stakeholder engagement.}, conference = {2013 Sustainable building conference (sb13): implementing sustainability: barriers and changes}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Info via contact 1/12/2021 LM) PERMISSION UNAVAILABLE DOCUMENT READY (AAM rec'd from contact 10/2/2022 LM) ADDITIONAL INFO - Contact: Dallia Ali}, publicationstatus = {Unpublished}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/1592228}, keyword = {Retrofitting, Refurbishment, Historic buildings, Insulation, Energy performance, Listed buildings}, author = {Abdel-Wahab, Mohammed and Ali, Dallia and Jenkins, David} }
