Abstract

A four-building conservation experiment was conducted in Krakow, Poland during the winters of 1992-'94 to determine the potential savings of heat in typical multifamily residential buildings connected to the district heat network. Baseline data were collected on each building prior to any conservation work. For each building, a different scope of work was planned and executed. Several affordable and effective conservation technologies applicable to Krakow's existing concrete-element residential housing were identified and demonstrated. Results obtained indicate that conservation strategies will be key to many alternatives in Krakow's plan to eliminate low-emission air pollution sources.
