Maghsoudi Nia, E. (author), Qian, QK (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Buildings are the main sector in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Retrofitting of existing building has been identified as one of the significant strategies for reducing the impacts of buildings on energy and environment. However, recent studies have shown that low energy buildings mostly do not perform as expected. These differences are...journal article 2022
