The Impact Assessment of Climate Change on Building Energy Consumption in Poland.
A substantial share of the building sector in global energy demand has attracted scholars to focus on the energy efficiency of the building sector. The building’s energy consumption has been projected to increase due to mass urbanization, high living comfort …
Energy Retrofitting for the Modern Heritage Enhancement in Weak Real Estate Markets: The Olivetti Housing Stock in Ivrea.
The enhancement of Modern Heritage buildings is nowadays a challenging issue as they are often degraded or abandoned and their historical value is not well acknowledged by potential buyers and their owners. Moreover, they are usually energy inefficient and obsolete, …
Algorithm for the comprehensive thermal retrofit of housing stock aided by renewable energy supply: A sustainable case for Krakow
This paper proposes an approach to the comprehensive adaptation of prefabricated panel-block buildings, many of which were built before 1989, to climate change and the requirements of people with special needs while alleviating Modernist planning deficiencies. The proposal targets panel-block …
Architectural Quality and the Housing Market: Values of the Late Twentieth Century Built Heritage.
The assessment of the ‘quality’ of built heritage is a complex transdisciplinary issue, which both public administrations and real estate developers need to carefully consider when making any interventions. Recent international climate regulations underline that currently around 75% of buildings …
A systematic review of passive energy consumption optimisation strategy selection for buildings through multiple criteria decision-making techniques.
Buildings account for a significant proportion of global energy demand, which is testament to population growth and changes to life patterns. Experts in energy studies have continued to identify passive energy consumption optimisation strategies as viable approaches for curbing the …
Developing a benchmark model for renovated, nearly zero-energy, terraced dwellings.
Brussels is one of the European cities with the most significant number of Passive House buildings on the continent. In the Brussels-Capital Region, the nearly zero-energy building obligations implemented is implemented since 2010. The Brussels-Capital Region has set up ambitious …
Multistage Optimization toward a Nearly Net Zero Energy Building Due to Climate Change.
Climate change is one of the major problems of the planet. The atmosphere is overloaded with carbon dioxide caused by fossil fuels that are burned for energy. Almost 40 percent of the total energy worldwide is used by the building …
An integrated sustainable and profitable approach of energy efficiency in heritage buildings.
The aim of Sustainable Development Goal 7 is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Increased energy efficiency is particularly important in the construction industry because urban agglomerations currently consume up to 80% of global …
The Evaluation of Historic Building Energy Retrofit Projects through the Life Cycle Assessment.
The built environment sector is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion that contributes to the climate change crisis. The European Commission, in the “Green New Deal”, highlights that the sustainable regeneration/requalification of existing buildings …
