The balancing of preservation aspects and energy efficiency is a key challenge in the sustainable management of built heritage. There is a need to get a better fundamental understanding of the processes, barriers and constraints involved in the planning of energy retrofits in historic buildings, and what role standards and guidelines can have in decision making.

This handbook follows the systematic approach outlined by the European standard EN 16883:2017 Guidelines for improving the energy performance of historic buildings. It describes how the standard can be applied in practice with chapters on heritage value assessment, building survey and holistic assessment of energy efficiency measures. The book draws on the experience from a team of international leading experts in the field of energy efficiency in historic building.
