 The tool provides users with an initial assessment for a potential refurbishment concept. The output includes a brief description of the concept, a link to the relevant literature source and a compact overview of the most important energy performance indicators, which come from the PHPP working in the background.  The tool provides users with an initial assessment for a potential refurbishment concept.

 +===== LIMITATIONS =====
 +In addition to the current limitation to a few concepts in literature and residential buildings, the literature emphasizes that social aspects, aesthetics and economic aspects in particular also have a high influence on the system selection and implementation of a refurbishment measure (see [Pombo 2016]). Integrating these criteria would ensure a holistic view and evaluation of refurbishment concepts, which is why this should be the subject of future research and development activities. 
 +
 +===== Conclusion =====
 +As buildings are constructed and used in very different ways, hardly any two refurbishment projects are the same. This can lead to complex decision-making processes when selecting a refurbishment solution. The wrong decisions can lead to the optimal energy saving potential not being achieved. Support tools, such as the DeSuTo program presented here, are used to ease challenges in the selection of suitable renovation solutions for residential buildings. The results of this new program can provide a basis for subsequently planning the next steps with energy consulting experts.
