INTRODUCTION Sustainable refurbishment provides great capacity for addressing much of the environmental‚ economic and‚ in particular‚ social sustainability goals through‚ for example‚ involvement of residents in project design and implementation. However‚ there is a great deal of work that must be done to develop the institutional framework for facilitating sustainable refurbishment activity. A sustainable building is one in which the design team have struck a balance between environmental‚

Speech intelligibility studies indicate that
