In the face of the climate crisis, the Sendzimir Foundation publishes "Renovation and retrofitting of old buildings in times of climate crisis".

A useful tool included in the publication is the algorithm developed by Tomasz Jeleński to eliminate common renovation errors and highlights optimal solutions, while considering the unique factors and conditions of individual buildings.
