The project aims at developing a new methodology to enable cost effective renovation of existing buildings while optimizing energy consumption and carbon emissions reduction. Several case studies were gathered to develop and validate the methodology, and a selection of {\textquotedblleft}Shining Examples{\textquotedblright} was made to encourage decision makers to promote efficient and cost effective renovations. This paper presents the results of the analyses made on these Shining Examples.
