This research explores the potential of energy renovation of dwellings as a promoter of occupants’ well-being and quality of life. The aim is to illustrate that the benefits brought by energy renovation in dwellings improve not only energy performance, but it can also improve non-technical drivers such as spatial quality. Views, spatial arrangements, public-private spaces and density are examples of non-technical dimensions, which are clearer to human perception and may therefore help occupants to understand and agree to pursue energy renovation. The research uses case studies of residential buildings that are undergoing energy renovation in Europe and Scandinavia. This work is intended to benefit design professionals, and building owners such as individuals, corporate entities, public sector or real estate portfolio holders, because it points out underlying relations between energy renovation and spatial quality that are often not clearly considered in the renovation of dwellings.
