Abstract: | The retrofitting of existing buildings offers considerable opportunities for reducing the global energy consumption and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving a higher energy efficiency in existing buildings is considered as one of the most favourable approaches towards implementing sustainability in the built environment. The study in this paper is divided into two sections. In the first part, the current situation present at the Ministry for Gozo is studied and the energy consumption patterns and the inefficiencies leading to these patterns are assessed, in order to determine the state of the building’s energy performance. The second part of the paper analyses possible recommendations that could be implemented to render the Ministry for Gozo’s Administration Centre more energy efficient. |
