Abstract

•A method for improved sustainability and resilience in elderly housing is proposed.•A control strategy is developed for space conditioning systems in elderly homes.•Multi-objective optimization is used to determine optimal refurbishing parameters.•The strategy reduced cooling energy by 61% while achieving elderly thermoneutrality.•Refurbishment reduced energy consumption by 38% & improved heatwave resilience.
