In this paper the effectiveness of retrofitting strategies in a sunspace attached to a one-storey building has beeninvestigated. Natural and hybrid ventilation, air-tight glass partitions, awnings and increased thermal massretrofitting scenarios were implemented, mainly for the Greek climate. Window openings and sensor-controlledfans were used to create a controllable and secure environment. Combined ventilation and thermal simulationwere applied, taking into account all the related physical phenomena, such as ventilation, infiltration and solarradiation. The thermal and air tightness characteristics of the building’s envelope and the built environment werealso simulated. The results are presented in the form of hourly temperature variations for typical winter andsummer period in three Greek and one U.S. city and outcomes and comparisons have been derived for theretrofitting scenarios.
