This seems to mean modernisations to make buildings more energy-efficient, but is there a less wordy way to put it?? Thanks!
"Es sind verschiedene energetische Modernisierungsmaßnahmen und Instandhaltungsarbeiten geplant, die im Juli 2009 beginnen und voraussichtlich Ende 2010 abgeschlossen sein sollen."

Eco-refurbishment of 1960s flats
Across the UK, there are almost 25 million dwellings, of which flats make up almost 5 million - making them approximately 20% of the total UK housing stock. Therefore, were all such dwellings UK-wide to adopt the energy efficiency measures recommended in this report, the savings would be highly
significant in driving the UK housing stock's emissions down towards the target 60% reduction.
The Energy Saving Trust, in partnership with MEARS and Travis Perkins, recently conducted research into the real life costs of reaching a 60% reduction in carbon emissions from 1960s flats. The resulting report, 'Roadmap to 60%: eco-refurbishment of 1960s flats', is aimed at all those involved in housing in both the social and private rented sectors who wish to improve the environmental performance of their dwellings.
