<p><b>New page</b></p><div>It takes [[energy]] to heat & cool buildings. The worse the insulation, the more energy it takes. There are plenty of ways to improve the insulation. But that ''also'' takes energy - as well as labor and materials.<br />
<br />
We need to compare the environmental impact of ''doing the work'' vs ''doing nothing''. In which cases is it better to renovate, and in which cases is it better to just let it be?<br />
<br />
==Research needed==<br />
<br />
Compare various retrofit scenarios, such as<br />
* Replacing old windows with new ones<br />
* Tearing down walls to replace 50-year-old insulation<br />
<br />
Scenarios can be ''very'' specific, such as type of window, the type of wall, etc.<br />
<br />
For each scenario, compare the expected amounts of:<br />
* Energy saved per year<br />
* Lifespan of the retrofit<br />
* Labor hours invested in the retrofit<br />
* [[Materials]] needed for the retrofit<br />
* Energy needed to produce such materials</div>Elie
