Result description
This Retrofitting Design Planner Tool has been developed in the framework of the Heat4Cool project. Its aim is to provide support to users (residents, building administrators, engineers, architects, etc.) in finding the optimum retrofit solution for a particular building, by evaluating the potential of a range of innovative technologies developed within this project.
The user is asked to enter the characteristics of an existing building, including location, geometry and existing heating/cooling systems (default values are proposed to aid this). Based on these inputs, the Tool generates a number of scenarios incorporating the Heat4Cool technologies that are compatible, and calculates their energy performance. Finally, a result page is presented to the user where all these scenarios are ranked, considering energy consumed, greenhouse gas emissions as well as the comfort range achieved.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The tool has been published on the project website and freely accessible
The retrofitting design planner tool is versatile and can be replicated in future projects involving the building retrofitting of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system.
As this tool is based on a software, it will only require continuos update of its database and the server.
