2. Many implemented EnerPHit projects worldwide are listed in the online: project database.
In the project database, please select Energy standard/building type (advanced search) and choose EnerPHit Retrofit, then you can find examples of EnerPHit projects.
Existing buildings account for the greatest share of energy used in buildings - worldwide but especially in industrialized countries. A great number of these buildings will require overall or partial refurbishment or modernisation in the upcoming decades. Such occasions are perfect opportunities to reduce the energy consumption of these buildings quite significantly by applying appropriate methods. Using components developed for new Passive Houses also allows for significant energy savings in existing buildings. This allows us to define the Passive House Modernization standard - called “EnerPHit” (energetic refurbishment using Passive House components in existing buildings).
