Tiivistelmä
Depending on the intended use lifecycle of buildings may vary remarkably. Short term constructions such as summer cottages may last only a few decades whereas age of historical buildings may extend over hundreds of years.
In Europe, three quarters of building stock is comprised of residential buildings. Approximately 40 % of the stock is built before 1960s, at the time when energy legislations were rather scarce.
Consequently the age of buildings that have not undergone renovation is largely associated with the energy consumption level. Nowadays, scheduled renovations are commonly planned to reduce energy use in older section of building stock. Impacts of refurbishments are also associated on mitigation of the climate change as well as on improvement of indoor climate quality.
