Abstract [en]

There is a major need of cost-effective renovation that leads to lower energy consumption and better environment. This article shows the results from a pilot case of a newly developed prefabricatedbuilding system. It is an industrially prefabricated insulated wooden element adapted to renovationand upgrading of building envelopes. The renovated building is a one-story office building located in Skellefted in the north of Sweden. Energy performance, thermal bridges, risk of moisture problems, LCA, applicability of the renovation method and assembly time were evaluated during the planning and execution of the renovation. Results from this case show that the elements were very light and easy for one person to handle at the building site. There is a great potential to reduce assembly time with improved joints and element sizes adapted to the building as well as improved batch packaging from the factory. With 100 mm insulation, the renovation gives a certain energy savings, and LCA calculations show that the reduction of climate impact due to reduced heating energy used during a service life 50 years corresponds to the climate impact of the renovation measures. The risk ofmicrobial growth can be regarded as small.
