Investigation and Retrofitting Proposal for a Panbo Type House in Sisimiut, Greenland
The ‘Blue House’ is a standard family detached house built by Panbo Huse A/S in 1985 in Sisimiut, Greenland. As an old building, it has many problems such as poor thermal comfort and high energy consumption, and therefore, the house has a potential to be retrofitted. The investigation of the ‘Blue H...
