“…Nevertheless, the key papers evaluating the effects of EER options on energy savings, investment return and thermal comfort confirm that EER options are cost effective in most cases. Some indicate that measures conducted together have a higher chance to be economically viable [47,49]. There is considerable attention for the difference between expected and realised energy savings or heat consumption.…”

“…the summer electricity bill which reflects the energy used for air-condition split systems for cooling, is not taken into account-in part due to low prevalence of split systems elaborated by Bojić et al [23] but additionally, as there is no reliable data with regard to how much electric energy is spent for cooling during summer months in this building. Evidently, taking these saving into account would simply make the investment more viable.…”

The main objective of the presented paper was to evaluate the integrated design strategies applied in refurbishment of the prefabricated residential housing, erected in'70 in the New Belgrade, Serbia, in order to achieve energy savings accompanied with reduction of CO2 emissions and improvement of households' health and comfort. Conducted study led to the preliminary design of energy refurbishment of the existing building, and its conversion to energy efficient building with minimized loads. Building's dynamic behavior and energy efficiency have been optimized implementing BPS-Building Performance Simulation. Very significant reduction of thermal and cooling loads with the reference to the building's existing status is obtained. Refurbishment encompassed comprehensive optimization of building's envelope structure, natural and mixed ventilation. The implementation of a series of EEI (energy efficiency improvement) measures resulted in significant reduction of buildings energy loads. The investment in energy efficiency retrofitting can improve macroeconomic stability and contribute to the sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, economic analyses were performed for each model, considering present economic situation in Serbia and availability of funds for refurbishment. Presented methodology and results of the performed analyses offer an opportunity to extend their application to other neighborhoods, exploring refurbishment potential results if applied on a greater urban scale. Economically feasible Energy Refurbishment of Prefabricated Building inBelgrade, Serbia The main objective of the presented paper was to evaluate the integrated design strategies applied in refurbishment of the prefabricated residential housing and their economic feasibility, considering current economic situation in Serbia. The aim of the study is architectural re-design using "passive" and "active" measures to improve and optimize the energy efficiency of residential buildings.Design strategies were applied in order to achieve energy savings accompanied with reduction of CO 2 emissions and improvement of households' health and comfort. By BPS -Building Performance Simulation were analyzed effects of the implementation of a series of EEI (energy efficiency improvement) measures and they resulted in significant reduction of buildings energy loads. Considering present economic situation in Serbia and availability of funds for refurbishment, by analyzing these six different energy efficiency retrofitting models, valuable inputs were obtained for further development of economic models. The results clearly prove that every retrofit scenario is economically feasible.

Sustainable development has taken on a new concept: building maintenance, materials production, buildings demolition to determine the amount of energy and resources. This paper presents the process of effective selection of building elements for renovation which are important for energy effectiveness of buildings. Multi-criteria MOORA and MULTIMOORA methods has been adapt for problems solving with interval data. The paper presents a theoretical model of practice design renovation solutions evaluated. The theoretical model can also be applied to practical solutions to assess new construction planning stage, and other life-building processes.
