Abstract
(en) Energy renova+on of old tradi+onal buildings with heritage specifici+es has become a major challenge for European regions. Over the past two decades, numerous scien+fic projects have focused on this issue. However, the professional prac+ces have not evolved much in the renova+on sector across Europe, despite significant advanced scien+fic knowledge, development of specific guidelines, and adop+on of the standard EN 16883 on conserva+on and energy renova+on performance of cultural heritage. The “P-Renewal” project on the energy retrofit of pre-war Walloon housing with heritage value, aligned with the objec+ves of the standard, provides a more detailed reflexive planning process supported by various technical data and decision-making tools. These outcomes enable the selec+on of renova+on strategies that effec+vely combine the preserva+on of heritage value with improvements in internal comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. They can be regarded as a significant contribu+on towards the evolu+on of the standard EN 16833 and energy efficiency in historic buildings. This paper briefly describes the reflexive process of the project. Then it presents the different decision-making tools while discussing their prac+cal and technical support. Finally, it discusses their contribu+on in enhancing the usability of the standard.
