RETROFIT SOLUTIONS
Windows
Substitution of existing windows
Uppgrading of the existing windows with insulation glass
Existing windows were replaced with triple-glazed windows with same appearence as the original ones.
During stage 1-2 the energy efficiency of the buildings was improved by replacing existing windows with new triple-glazed windows. The original windows consisted of wooden double-glazed windows that were clad on the outside in aluminium during a first renovation in the '80s. Renovating the existing windows was not considered a feasible option by the property, partly because the energy gain was less than replacing them and partly because wooden windows required continuous maintenance. It was therefore chosen to install windows with an inner frame of wood and an outer frame of aluminium. The ambition was to recreate the original architecture of the houses by using the same dimensions of the frames and sashes and maintaining the window sizes and the distance between the sash and the façade.

An extra insulation glass was added on the inner sashes of the existing windows.
In stage 3 the existing windows were not replaced but they were upgraded with a insulation glass. This choice was due to the will of the owners to reuse and preserve as many building parts as possible in the renovation process.

ROOF
OTHER
In stage 1 and 2 the original roof construction was not altered but extra insulation (180mm wood chips, 25mm mineral wool felt) was added on the attic floor. The new U-value for the attic floor is 0,33W/m²K. In stage 3 additional insulation was added to the roof joists. The existing cavities have been filled with 300 mm loose wool and 180 mm wood chips. New U-value 0.09 W/m²K

Living standards for students were improved by providing them with private toilets in their rooms, kitchens were modernised and corridors could be furnished for various activities. Accessibility requirements were waived in order to protect the cultural and historical values and to be able to maintain the number of existing student rooms.
The renovations did not compromise in any way the original plan structure of the buildings, on the contrary it improved the quality standard of the students living in the apartments.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS
Photovoltaic
The renovations in stage 3 includes 112 m2 solar panels on the southern and western sides of the roof in building A and B. The energy collected from the solar panels is mainly use for providing electricity to ventilation fans (13462 kWh of 19000 kWh).
The installation of solar panels on the roofs during stage 3 leads to a visual alteration on the façades that is reversible and well justified for other reasons, including technical requirements. The measure has a significant visual impact, but not to the extent that it can be considered to alter the character of the buildings or the area. The solution is therefore considered compatible.
