T-4B1c-TE-7 - Retrofitting industrial 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 isolation in walls and lofts as well as improved glazing.
