FASUDIR
Friendly and Affordable Sustainable
Urban Districts Retrofitting
FASUDIR will develop an Integrated Decision Support Tool (IDST), supported
by a new methodology, which can evaluate the retrofitting needs of a whole
urban district. It will help decision makers to select the best energy efficient
retrofitting strategy to increase the sustainability of the district and will
consider the set of buildings within as a whole energy system.
Although FASUDIR is primarily focused on
energy efficiency issues, it will also address the
district sustainability and resource efficiency.
Recommendations made by the IDST to
increase efficiency will mainly focus on
technologies and strategies which deliver more
energy efficient buildings and districts, but
without penalising and preferably enhancing
the global sustainability, resource efficiency
and the environment of the district.
With more than 70% of European building
stock built before the first energy crisis (1970’s),
energy retrofitting of buildings is envisaged as
the most promising strategy to reach the EU’s
“20-20-20” targets.
However, the traditional approach to the
building energy efficient retrofitting brings
poor results in relation to urban sustainability,
resource efficiency and economic return across
a district. Although the district retrofitting
approach is frequently the most sustainable
and cost-effective, the complexity of decision
making grows exponentially the larger the
district in question. This is especially true
considering the fragmentation of the
construction sector, which includes many
stakeholders, most of them SMEs.
To support the necessary building-retrofitting
market mobilisation in Europe to fulfil
EU-targets in 2020 and 2050, new business
models and financial supporting tools need to
be developed. FASUDIR will address this
challenge by integrating through its IDST all
key stakeholders and relevant networks at the
district scale and across the entire value chain,
as well as by ensuring that the newest
technologies for energy and resource efficient
retrofitting are incorporated, especially those
emerging from SMEs.
This figure shows the interaction between the FASUDIR tool and the main stakeholders
involved in the retrofitting projects at urban scale.

The installation of district scale systems makes it easier to include more
sustainable energy management strategies, for example:
– Exploitation of the synergies between buildings due to their different energy
use profiles to lower the overall installed power;
– Exploitation of wasted energy from industrial and other processes by the surroundings area;
–
Installation of renewable energy sources such as biomass boilers or solar panels
at a district level, overcoming many of the challenges related to the deployment
of such technologies at building level (poor solar aspect, space requirements, biomass availability);
–
Installation of cogeneration systems, which can provide thermal and electrical energy at the same time. Installing them at district level allows them to satisfy additional requirements or special conditions to avoid some of the problems associated with this equipment (high noise levels, required space, etc.);

The FASUDIR project will focus on the definition of the retrofitting framework at a district
scale, developing a comprehensive methodology that will allow selecting the optimal,
off-the-shelf technologies and strategies for each specific energy retrofitting project in terms
of sustainability as a whole (environmental, economic and social). The assessment will be
based, among others, on currently available sustainability indicators from international
sustainability committees (iiSBE) and certification labels (LEED-ND, BREEAM Communities).
