Abstract (EN): In this paper a study on thermal refurbishment of old Portuguese elementary school buildings is presented. The type of school under analysis is the one adopted by a large construction campaign carried out from the 40's to the 60's of the twentieth century and, in a big part, still in use. This building stock has a very poor thermal performance and its refurbishment was evaluated starting with a case study of a school in the central region of Portugal, where some experimental measures were performed and a calculation method was applied for the heating energy consumption estimation. Then, different solutions for thermal refurbishment were tested and their technical and economical consequences were evaluated. Finally, the national impact of the thermal refurbishment of the whole building stock was characterised in terms of energy savings.
