To meet the 2050 climate goals, the renovation rate of the building stock should increase. To renovate in a sustainable manner, not only is the energy performance of the building important, but the renovation should also allow for flexible building use, thus enabling long-term use of the building without subsequent renovations if the function changes.
This research investigates how this can be done through (dynamic) simulations, calculations and design research, using a building typology on a university campus in Ghent as a case study. As the future use has not been determined yet, and might change throughout the years, the impact of certain design choices on various energy and comfort parameters has been investigated for all possible future use scenarios. As it is important that the proposed renovation scenarios achieve acceptable indoor air quality, the impact of the ventilation system is also taken into account.
The results show that the interaction between the different parameters is very complex. Additionally, the various use scenarios have different requirements. One ideal renovation scenario can not be conceived, but design choices can be made that allow for changes in use over the years.
