T-4A1a-TE-9 - Retrofitting multi-family buildings for efficient cooling

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

Improving the energy efficiency in existing buildings has a direct impact on emissions, either by reducing emissions from ACs or district cooling. This can be achieved by improving the fabric efficiency in walls and lofts as well as improved glazing.
