As part of the "Drawing the baseline" FuturHist work package, this report presents the results of Task 1.1 focused on the identification of barriers. A survey was conducted to assess the main barriers to energy efficiency in historic buildings. Feedback …
This report summarises the work of the ICOMOS Expert Group on the Implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) in the Built Heritage Sector, established in 2023 to evaluate the impact of the EPBD recast on Europe’s historic …
Purpose: The surface temperature of the sub-roof beneath the ventilation layer and the tiles is one of the most important factors for the hygrothermal performance of pitched roofs. The air layer between tiles and sub-roof and the air exchange with …
Is it possible to refurbish a listed building in terms of energy efficiency without destroying the historical appearance of the building? As part of the EU-funded “3Encult” project, a case study on energy modernization was carried out to investigate this …
Lowering the temperatures in heating systems is the key to decarbonizing the heat supply in the building sector, because it is a door opener to greater integration of renewable heat, the use of excess heat and to improve compatibility for …
In many industrialized countries, a significant number of buildings were constructed prior to any energy-related building construction standards. Today, single-family houses (SFH/pl. SFHs) from this time still have a comparably poor thermal quality. This paper aims to examine and model …
