The <strong>renovation</strong> alternatives must:- point out whe<strong>the</strong>r is it <strong>sustainable</strong> and effective at all, to apply <strong>sustainable</strong> <strong>renovation</strong>measures- show <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> applying WarmBouwen to a house. Thus show <strong>the</strong> differencebetween <strong>the</strong> current situation and <strong>the</strong> situation <strong>of</strong> WarmBouwen- show <strong>the</strong> difference between applying WarmBouwen and applying <strong>the</strong> current widelyapplied „standard‟ measuresBased on <strong>the</strong>se criteria, <strong>the</strong> following alternatives are selected:1. No <strong>renovation</strong>. Details <strong>of</strong> this alternative are described in appendix C1.2. Standard <strong>renovation</strong>. Details <strong>of</strong> this alternative are described in appendix C1.DETERMINATION OF PARAMETERSFor <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> model, many input parameters are determined. The literature,reports and product sheets that are used to determine <strong>the</strong> input for model application arelisted in appendix D.For determining <strong>the</strong> input parameters for <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> model, several expertshave been consulted. The experts that have been consulted for determining <strong>the</strong> input <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> model calculations are listed in appendix D.SELECTING THE EXPERTSFor <strong>the</strong> collection <strong>of</strong> valid input parameters for <strong>the</strong> model application, it is important that<strong>the</strong> consulted experts have specialist knowledge on <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> subject. The consultedexperts that are listed in appendix D are all pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and experts in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>subject, <strong>the</strong>y are consulted about. Most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se experts are consulted by telephone.CASE STUDIESThe goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> case studies is to deliver input parameters for model calculations.Therefore <strong>the</strong> selection criteria below are defined for <strong>the</strong> selection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cases.The case must:- be comparable with <strong>the</strong> situation in this research- be able to produce objective information- be recently executedAs a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stated selection criteria stated above, <strong>the</strong> following cases are selected:- “De Tempel” – Den Haag- “Krayenh<strong>of</strong>f” – UithoornFor <strong>the</strong> data collection at <strong>the</strong> case studies, a list <strong>of</strong> subjects is made on which detailedinformation is needed. The cases provide detailed information about exploitationcalculations and <strong>of</strong>fers. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> cases provide useful input for <strong>the</strong> calculations.MODEL OPTIMIZATIONThe second goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fourth phase is <strong>the</strong> improvement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> model based on <strong>the</strong> modelapplication. For <strong>the</strong> improvement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> model, <strong>the</strong> input and output <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> model areinterpreted and analyzed.The updated model is applied again on <strong>the</strong> three selected <strong>renovation</strong> alternatives. Theapplication <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> updated model generates <strong>the</strong> output that is analyzed for <strong>the</strong> researchresults.18
