Energy performance and the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in three naturally ventilated original and three identical but renovated residential buildings were compared using actual measurements. Although the implemented energy saving measures had the potential to improve energy performance of the dwellings, they led to poorer indoor air quality (IAQ).
Additional simulations revealed that a simple intervention, such as using exhaust systems in kitchens and bathrooms and at the same time keeping doors of rooms open, may improve the IAQ in retrofitted multifamily buildings.
