IEE project LEAF presents technical toolkit for energy saving measures at apartment blocks in multi-ownership

Energy efficient renovations of apartment blocks in multi-ownership are difficult to realise, mostly because of difficult decision taking and other legal and financial boundaries. The LEAF Technical Toolkit enables organisations to identify and understand appropriate energy improvements for apartment blocks. This includes estimated costs and savings from measures, and potential subsidies. It also contains advice on the impact of resident behaviour, and how energy saving behaviour can be promoted.

The technical toolkit offers guidance on the following topics:

  1. What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
  2. Recommended Improvement Measures on EPCs (explanations of measures, investment costs, payback times and possible subsidies)
  3. Impact of the user behaviour (is it energy saving or energy wasting, possibilities to improve the user behaviour, links to detailed approaches for calculating the impact)
  4. Possible additional savings (household energy, heated common stairways, common lighting, elevators)

The toolkit can be applied in the following national versions and languages: UK/English, Austrian, French, German, Hungarian and Swedish. An Engagement Tookit, designed to complement the Technical Toolkit, provides information and guidance required to carry out retrofit work.
