Energy Efficiency Engineering

Description

Purpose - Sustainability environment and the standards criteria application for the building stock refurbishment for renovation of the public buildings in Kosovo plays e positive role in the terms of energy efficiency and also have impact on social-economic aspects and better quality of life. Findings -The old stock of existing buildings, which were built after the second world war and until 1970/80, did not take into account the insulation of buildings, and for this reason not only in Kosovo, but also in Europe and around the world, also this building stock are the largest consumer of primary energy. Kosovo, although not yet a member of the EU, has pledged to reduce energy expenditure as well as the emission of CO2 and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, alongside EU member states, and in accordance with policies, legislation, strategies and the goals emerging from the European Commission and EPBD directives, as a leading organization in Europe dealing with climate changes and global warming issues. Research limitations/implications - European Energy Comity and European Commission has issued new objectives that aim for the Europe to be the first climate-neutral continent in the world by 2050. With this reason, the renovation of existing buildings is one of the goals that must be met to achieve this objective. because more than 40% of energy expenditure comes precisely from the construction sector. Therefore, the renovation of existing buildings in public sector is an inevitable step to improve the energy performance of the public buildings, also has to increase the comfort and in general the quality of life and activity in them, creating a sustainable environment. Knowing that these buildings are big consumers of energy, then precisely with their renovation lies the potential of great energy savings. Potentially Increasing the Energy Building Performance (EBP), can be achieved the better sustainabilty and durability of this building stocks, consumer can save the energy and the internal condition for living will be better also and health conditions. During the Energy application measures on renovation of the building stocks, also we find a lot challenges and barriers to the sustainabilty and better condition for life. Used Methodology - methodology used for this research paper is comparative qualitative and hypothesis which is used for the further determination of this problem is based on calculation forms with applicable Software creating the Building Certificate Performance and classification for each category of building. Where after the analyses this results would be compare with the region state and other in the field of energy efficiency statement. My research
