Handbook of sustainable refurbishment : housing
Based on careful analysis and experience in all housing sectors and house types, this handbook explains and demonstrates how to incorporate the most effective energy saving measures in the existing housing stock. It begins by setting out the basic aims of sustainable refurbishment before presenting a large number of illustrated case studies from a range of single- and multi-family dwellings. A practical section then details the specific measures that can be taken to reduce the energy demand of buildings, with extensive references to further resources. Written for architects and building engineers, the book combines technical and managerial solutions demonstrating that a new refurbishment culture needs to be created that radically improves the energy performance of all existing houses whenever any opportunity presents itself and whenever any work is carried out.

Longitudinal Monitoring of Housing Renewal in the Urban Core: Reflections on the Experience of Glasgow's Merchant City
This paper is broadly concerned with monitoring the development of markets for new and converted housing in city centres over the longer term, and with assessing the implications for housing renewal strategies. These themes are addressed through a case study of housing market trends in Glasgow's Merchant City, which is generally recognised as an important example of housing-led city-centre regeneration. The analysis places the Merchant City experience in context by comparing the relative performance of selected segments within the wider Glasgow housing market. The results indicate that the weakened performance of the Merchant City sub-market in the face of economic and housing market recession is part of a more general phenomenon affecting other competing inner-area segments. The findings also draw attention to the need for more detailed understanding of the linkages between economic forces, demographic trends, housing preferences and stock characteristics in evaluating the performance of local housing systems.
