Objective
Modern Civil Engineering is strongly marked by building renovation and modernization. We cannot expect this basic tendency to change in the future. It is therefore important that architects and planners deal with the subjects of building restructuring and building modernization to a greater extent than they have done until now, even if the subjects have become more challenging for the planner in terms of requiring a deeper understanding of building physics, materials, computer simulation, data collection and measurement etc.
Small and medium-sized architectural firms are hardly able to deal with the entire breadth of these topics. Add to that the very common pressure of deadlines, and we find that many important decisions are based on nothing more than experience made, estimates or good feeling. Very often there is a lack of greater certainty. This lack can only be made up through careful data collection (measuring the most important characteristics of the existing building envelope or it's parts), by creating a building physical (computer based) model, by calibrating it in comparison to the real situation over a specific time period, and by analyzing the effects various modernization or renovation methods have on the actual building. The latter is carried out on the specially developed computer model. This procedure is helpful in avoiding serious wrong decisions even before they are made and in finding new and unexpected solutions on the one hand, but is also tedious and time consuming on the other hand. This is why we would like to test the procedures described above, within the framework of our project, and with the aid of detailed computer-simulated building physics, on several objects not under huge time pressure. In the last years universities have got an extensive know-how in this area. There is a lot of new theory and software that could be under certain conditions successfully used in the practical building design.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
