Abstract
The Danish government has aimed to become independent of fossil fuels by 2050. Reducing the energy consumption in the existing buildings stock is crucial to achieve this. Single-family houses account for nearly 45% of the current building stock, and houses from 1961-1978 were found to show the greatest energy saving potential. Motivating single-family homeowners to perform energy renovation is therefore one of the main goal in the years to come. This thesis revolves around the creation and development of a decision-making tool called TREE; Tool for Renovating Energy Efficiently. The tool should motivate and inspire single-family homeowners to perform energy renovation while improving their indoor environment.
