 ===================
 
 * For the myopic investment option, a carbon budget and a type of decay (exponential or beta) can be selected in the ``config.yaml`` file to distribute the budget across the ``planning_horizons``. For example, ``cb40ex0`` in the ``{sector_opts}`` wildcard will distribute a carbon budget of 40 GtCO2 following an exponential decay with initial growth rate 0.
+* The cost database for retrofitting of the thermal envelope of buildings has been updated. Now, for calculating the space heat savings of a building, losses by thermal bridges and ventilation are included as well as heat gains (internal and by solar radiation). See the section :ref:`retro` for more details on the retrofitting module.
 * Added an option to alter the capital cost or maximum capacity of carriers by a factor via ``carrier+factor`` in the ``{sector_opts}`` wildcard. This can be useful for exploring uncertain cost parameters. Example: ``solar+c0.5`` reduces the ``capital_cost`` of solar to 50\% of original values. Similarly ``solar+p3`` multiplies the ``p_nom_max`` by 3.
 * Rename the bus for European liquid hydrocarbons from ``Fischer-Tropsch`` to ``EU oil``, since it can be supplied not just with the Fischer-Tropsch process, but also with fossil oil.
 * Bugfix: The new separation of land transport by carrier in Version 0.4.0 failed to account for the carbon dioxide emissions from internal combustion engines. This is now treated as a negative load on the atmospheric carbon dioxide bus, just like aviation emissions.

+
+Renovation of the thermal envelope reduces the space heating demand and is
+optimised at each node for every heat bus. Renovation measures through additional
+insulation material and replacement of energy inefficient windows are considered.
+
+In a first step, costs per energy savings are estimated in :mod:`build_retro_cost.py`.
+They depend on the insulation condition of the building stock and costs for
+renovation of the building elements.
+In a second step, for those cost per energy savings two possible renovation
+strengths are determined: a moderate renovation with lower costs and lower
+maximum possible space heat savings, and an ambitious renovation with associated
+higher costs and higher efficiency gains. They are added by step-wise
+linearisation in form of two additional generations in
+:mod:`prepare_sector_network.py`.
