Energy and Sustainable Strategies in the Renovation of Existing Buildings: An Italian Case Study.
The re-use of historical buildings, in some cases those that have been abandoned for years, is currently generating a lot of interest, and brings into discussion topics such as land recycling and the use of new resources. Our project on …
Advancing urban building energy modelling through new model components and applications: A review.
Due to rapid urbanisation and the significant contribution of cities to worldwide energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, urban energy system planning is growing more important. Urban building energy modelling (UBEM) draws increasing attention in the energy modelling field due …
The Interplay between Air Quality and Energy Efficiency in Museums, a Review.
Energy efficiency in museums and buildings that house works of art or cultural heritage appears to be a difficult achievement if indoor air quality has to be kept at appropriate levels for artefacts’ long-term sustainability. There is a gap in …
Transforming a Historic Public Office Building in the Centre of Rome into nZEB: Limits and Potentials.
According to the last census of 2019, about two million Italian buildings are more than 100 years old. Building energy retrofitting involves a diverse mix of influencing factors, depending on history, intended use, and construction techniques. This paper aims to …
An evaluation model for adaptive reuse of cultural heritage in accordance with 2030 SDGs and European Quality Principles.
Cultural heritage can play a strategic role in achieving the sustainable development goals, as widely recognized worldwide by the United Nations, UNESCO, ICOMOS, as well as by many regional and national institutions. It is needed to implement the principles stated …
Advances in Historic Buildings Conservation and Energy Efficiency
Dear Colleagues, During the last decades, an increasing attention has been paid by scholars and professionals to techniques and technologies for improving the conservation of historic buildings, which represent a significant percentage of the building stock in Europe. As part …
Legal Aspects on Cultural Values and Energy Efficiency in the Built Environment—A Sustainable Balance of Public Interests?
Improved energy efficiency and increased use of renewables within the building stock is crucial to ensure the achievement of international and national climate goals, such as bringing abouta carbon neutral society. The existing buildings needs to be retrofitted and heated …
Need for integrated approach for energy efficiency assessments and material evaluation of historic buildings.
Concerns about the energy sustainability of the existing building stock and about changes in both climatic conditions and comfort requirements, in recent years have put a lot of research focus on energy performance evaluation of buildings, which also need detailed …
An optimal surrogate-model-based approach to support comfortable and nearly zero energy buildings design.
The shift from conventional buildings to the so-called Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) is becoming one of the major contemporary challenges in the world. In this work, a multi-objective optimization approach, based on a smart surrogate model, has been developed …
Interstitial hygrothermal analysis for retrofitting exterior concrete wall of modern heritage building in Korea.
Retrofitting modern heritage buildings aims at not only energy conservation, but also restoration and preservation of an architectural artefact. However, if envelope construction is adjusted and HVAC systems are replaced, the temperature and humidity profiles and air-tightness can also be …
GIS tools towards a renovation of the building heritage.
Our proposal is to enhance information on the actual building stock and on barriers and drivers that influence the decision of public or private buildings ‘owners toward renovation. With this information and with dedicated services, local authorities could persuade owners …
