Application of renovation measures according to the Passive House standard in multi-residential buildings in Kosovo – Case study multi-residential in Peja

The energy efficiency of a building is generally related to how productive resources such as energy and water are used to provide services such as heating, cooling, and lighting, as well as to use the equipment installed or already in use in the building. The purpose of this project is to analyze and research the main principles of the Passive House standard, referring to expert interventions in multi-residential buildings in several countries around the world. In the research, three case studies of existing multi-residential buildings were taken, in which interventions were then made by experts in this field. After researching the case studies of the Passive House standard, another research was done in Kosovo, which was not based on this standard but was approximated in the advanced scenario. The main questions posed for this research are: • How will the basic principles of the Passive House standard be applied to the research facility? • What are the right materials that help us achieve the necessary coefficients to meet the criteria of the Passive House standard? • How much would the saving in energy losses be before and after the application of renovation measures according to the Passive House standard? Through various research and analyses the construction period of the building, the study of materials, and the calculation of thermal losses will be done, thus reaching the proposal of renovation measures according to the passive house standard in the multi-residential building in Peja. This research is based on the proposal of a better alternative solution, which will affect the reduction and improvement of energy consumption and the minimization of negative impacts on the environment
