Building Renewal – structures

• Assess and analyze an old building with a focus on the preparation of an action plan for how the building can be renovated/transformed to meet future functional requirements , energy requirements and sustainability requirements.
• Proposal for a more contemporary space division or transformation of the use of the building.
• Proposal for an energy renovation of the building.
• Proposal for the establishment of a recreational area on the roof or on terrain and new balconies with a focus on energy optimization, energy production and retention of rainwater.
• Assess the fire technical conditions.
• Design of necessary structural changes caused by new interior design.
• Design of repair due to fungus damages.
• Design of necessary reinforcement of foundations.
• Explain for the cooperation of the group.

Buildings use up to 40% of Denmark’s total energy consumption. To meet the government’s and the EU’s goal of reducing the energy consumption of existing buildings by at least 50% by 2050, it requires massive investment in renovation projects.
At the same time, the buildings must be rebuilt to meet future requirements for Sustainable Construction.
A project proposal will be made for the proposed changes to an older building with the following topics:
• Analysis of possible sustainable measures
• Registration and evaluation of building structures.
• Economic assessment of costs of rebuilding, maintenance and improvements.

A tender project is prepared for selected subject areas, for example:
• Design of necessary structural changes caused by new interior design and transformation.
• Design of repair due to fungus damages.
• Design of necessary reinforcement of foundations.
