(mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Building Technology Programme Facade masters Date 2010-06-28 Abstract Existing building stock, represented by major share of outdated structures account for a large portion of today’s primary energy consumption for their maintenance and running. These structures failing to comply with today’s norms and standards have to be refurbished to meet modern demand for their better and efficient usage. This research focuses on a specific aspect of facade refurbishment of existing high rise office buildings in United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany, with specific focus on London. Worked in tie up with PERMASTEELISA Group, an architectural component manufacturer, this thesis focuses on the integration of their unitized prefabricated facade solutions with integrated solar thermal collector systems, as successful refurbishment strategy for identified high rise office facades. Derived from two distinct sources; the research work from Re-Face by Dr.-Ing. Thiemo Ebbert and EU backed Cost effective project, this thesis compiles a set of most prevalent office facades, thereby hoping to identify possible architectural freedoms involved in the refurbishment process.
