Abstract
Danmark har som mål at blive uafhængig af fossile brændsler i 2050. For at nå dette er det afgørende at sænke energiforbruget i den eksisterende bygningsmasse. Enfamiliehuse udgør næsten 45 % af bygningsbestanden, og huse opført i perioden 1961-1978 er identificeret som dem med størst potentiale for energibesparelser. Derfor er det en vigtig opgave at motivere ejere af enfamiliehuse til at gennemføre energirenovering, dvs. forbedringer der reducerer energiforbruget og kan forbedre indeklimaet. Dette speciale præsenterer udviklingen af et beslutningsværktøj kaldet TREE (Tool for Renovating Energy Efficiently). Værktøjet er designet til at motivere og inspirere ejere af enfamiliehuse til at gennemføre energirenoveringer, som samtidig forbedrer deres indendørs miljø.
Denmark aims to become independent of fossil fuels by 2050. Achieving this goal requires cutting energy use in existing buildings. Single-family houses make up nearly 45% of the building stock, and homes built between 1961 and 1978 have been identified as having the greatest potential for energy savings. Motivating single-family homeowners to carry out energy renovation—improvements that reduce energy use and can improve the indoor environment—is therefore a key task. This thesis presents the creation and development of a decision-making tool called TREE (Tool for Renovating Energy Efficiently). The tool is designed to motivate and inspire single-family homeowners to undertake energy renovations that also enhance their indoor environment.
