Existing buildings

• Making new buildings energy efficient is very important, but it’s not enough
• Our existing buildings will account for the majority of the building stock for many decades

Many buildings were constructed before the oil crises and global warming became issues, and a large number of them are still poorly insulated.

Every time a building is modernised, it should be brought up to contemporary energy standards, especially since it is most economical and practical to add extra insulation and other energy saving measures when building work on areas such as the façade or roof are being carried out.
