Investigation of sustainability embodied in existing buildings: a case study of refurbishment adopted in a Chinese contemporary building

Abstract The Liyuan courtyard buildings are considered as contemporary architectural symbols of the spirit in Qingdao, China. The sustainability potentials embodied in the building is evaluated by building performance simulations analysis based on field investigation in this case study. Two models w...
