In the EROS Project the potential for the energy efficient retrofit of a typical school building in West Germany was demonstrated. The renewal of the space heating system was combined with improved insulation to yield synergetic effect. The project aimed to minimise future energy consumption and optimise the cost effectiveness of the retrofit.Thus, both operating costs and emissions were reduced. The goal was to improve the thermal insulation at least to the standard of the 1995 German regulations on thermal insulation for new buildings.

Retrofit features:
  • Composite thermal insulation system, internal insulation.
  • Low-E-coated glazings.
  • Roof insulation with styrofoam done by teachers and students themselves.
  • Replacement of the lighting system, daylight dependent artificial lighting control.
  • New gas boilers (condensing/low temperature boilers), new radiators.
