| Resumo: | This study addresses the urgent need for decarbonisation of existing non- residential buildings within the framework of European climate protection goals. The primary objective is to evaluate the potential for reducing CO2 emissions and energy intensity in a representative hotel building in Germany from 2020 to 2050. Utilizing an analysis tool based on the CRREM Risk Assessment Tool, the study establishes a climate protection plan that outlines the building's decarbonisation pathways. The analysis reveals that, despite implementing energy and CO2 saving measures, the building will fail to meet the required values by the year 2034, consequently posing a high stranding risk. Furthermore, it becomes evident that the emission factors of heating and electricity networks play a critical role in achieving the climate targets of the EU. The study suggests that additional strategies and measures are necessary to meet political climate objectives. It also emphasizes the importance of transforming local electricity and heating networks. The work identifies further research needs, particularly concerning the precise calculation of areas, energy flows, and the influence of historical preservation. These findings hold particular significance for policymakers, building owners, and energy consultants, as they elucidate the challenges and opportunities for the successful decarbonisation of existing non-residential buildings |
