Classification of historical buildings based on energy efficiency tests and comfort tests

Abstract

Abstract The article presents a proposal for the classification of historic buildings in terms of improving energy efficiency, ensuring the comfort of users and their impact on the environment. In the case of historic buildings, Polish law does not require energy efficiency improvement. The proposed classification also takes into account the function of the object and is largely based on "in situ" research. The presented model of classification will help users of historic buildings to undertake appropriate thermo-modernization measures to improve energy efficiency and comfort of use. In situ tests in historic buildings are of particular importance also for the correct diagnostics of this type of buildings.
