The Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness
is funding the SHERIF
Research Project, which falls under the INNPACTO pr
ogram. This project aims to increase
the rate of the existing building refurbishment fro
m the energy efficiency point of view by
designing a facade system that must be an economica
l, flexible and integrated solution
1
.
Under this project has been performing several task
s regarding the constructive
characterization and energy evaluation of the therm
al behaviour of facades on existing
buildings
.
In order to perform the latter task, in which this
article will focus, has been
developing a survey of various buildings in the nei
ghbourhood Ciudad de los Angeles, which
has as main objective the comparison between the ac
tual energy and light behaviour of
different buildings, prior and posterior to any ref
urbishment works have been undertaken.
The evaluation of the actual performance of buildin
gs before and after being refurbished is
aimed to determine the impact of the work developed
as well as learn from the work
performed for future interventions
