Tests show that BEAT 2000, a simulation program for energy and environmental assessment is a tool well suited for direct energy and environmental assessments of renovation projects. BEAT 2000 has been tested on renovation projects which included energy saving measures such as solar collectors, solar walls and ventilation systems with heat recovery. The tool was also tested on more traditional renovation of small out-of-date flats. Particularly for alternative energy saving solutions and the materials they incorporate, an extended basis for the data would reduce time consumption by defining untraditional and unusual building elements that occur in renovation.

En afprøvning af pc-værktøjet BEAT 2000's viser, at BEAT 2000 er et velegnet værktøj, der umiddelbart kan anvendes til energi- og miljøvurdering af renoveringssager. BEAT 2000 er afprøvet dels på renovering med energibesparende foranstaltninger i form af solfangere, solvægge og ventilationsanlæg med varmegenvinding, dels på mere traditionel renovering af små, utidssvarende lejligheder. En udbygning af datagrundlaget, især for alternative energibesparende løsninger og de materialer, der indgår, vil kunne reducere tidsforbruget ved definition af de utraditionelle og usædvanlige bygningsdele, der optræder ved renovering.
