abstract = "There were two questions in the early beginning of the European Research Project TES EnergyFa{\c c}ade. The first was: how to modernize existing buildings in a better, more energy efficient way. The second question was how to make a facade modernisation system more sustainable and resource efficient for a better environmental performance. The technical solutions will be presented in the paper TES EnergyFacade - Construction Principles during WCTE 2010. The problems of today's renovation processes are identified and examined with regard to the criteria of sustainability for modernisation. Furthermore every construction causes energy consumption, disposal effort and a reasonable amount of other external effects for the ecologic systems. A turnaround of the enormous demands of resources in construction business requires a more effective and future oriented concept for construction systems, their composition and life cycle. The ecologic performance of a new facade modernisation system was examined exemplary. In short this states the environmental impact of modernisation; finally parameters were identified to improve the system.",
