Fedorczak-Cisak, Małgorzata, Elżbieta Radziszewska-Zielina, Bożena Orlik-Kożdoń, Tomasz Steidl, and Tadeusz Tatara. "Analysis of the Thermal Retrofitting Potential of the External Walls of Podhale’s Historical Timber Buildings in the Aspect of the Non-Deterioration of Their Technical Condition." Energies 13, no. 18 (September 4, 2020): 4610. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en13184610.
Abstract:
The paper discusses thermal quality improvement in historic buildings. It is based on a case study of a wooden historical building in an architectural style typical of Zakopane, located in the Podhale region of Poland. The building’s historical value and timber structure prevent the application of typical thermal retrofitting solutions. This paper presents an analysis of the possibilities of the improvement of energy performance of a historic building (villa) which included: a review of the available energy performance improvement solutions applicable to this type of building, with a particular focus on applying internal insulation; a technical condition assessment using non-invasive methods, the identification of problematic areas in terms of the thermal retrofitting of buildings with timber walls and decks; in situ tests: thermovision tests which showed the places with temperature distribution field disturbances in the building’s envelope, focusing on thermal bridges; measurements of actual thermal transmittance coefficients for extant partitions; measurements of the building’s airtightness and the microclimate in selected rooms; numerical analysis: an assessment of the influence of the thermal bridges on the building’s existing condition, an analysis of water content changes in wall systems post-insulation. The presented approach enables the improvement of the energy performance of timber historical buildings while preserving the historical value of its architecture. It is innovative because it tries to fill in a research gap concerning a lack of relevant guidelines in Poland. The research questions that the authors asked were as follows. Is it possible to improve the thermal insulation of a building’s wooden walls without adversely affecting the building’s technical condition? With regard to the necessity to meet nZEB (nearly zero energy building) standards, is it feasible to improve the timber walls of historical buildings? The study found that under the correct assumptions and while maintaining a responsible approach to design, it is possible to improve the energy performance of historical buildings without interfering with historical heritage.

Abstract:
Abstract Today’s cities are developing at a breakneck pace, resulting in physical modifications to buildings. This growth can also be witnessed in the presence of new structures designed to house city-related operations. This research was conducted in the corridor area of Surabaya’s Karet Street, a historical district. Numerous historical structures may be seen along Karet Street, including surviving colonial and Chinese-style structures. Historically, this Karet Street corridor region served as a commerce hub due to its proximity to the Kali Mas (Mas River) trade route. However, as the era progressed, the buildings in the corridor of Karet Street became abandoned, many were neglected, and other structures were added, resulting in inconsistency between buildings. Thus, this research aimed to characterize the building facade components along the Karet Street corridor. The research technique used was descriptive qualitative research. Sixty-two structures along the Karet Street corridor comprise the sampled area. The factors consisted of the building’s door/entrance, windows, walls, roof, and the stylef the building—a qualitative descriptive analysis based on the state of the building’s facade in the field. Direct observation, existing literature, and documentation were employed to obtain data. The study’s findings revealed inconsistencies in the building’s exterior components, particularly in the structure’s modern style. In an area that contains colonial and Chinese-style buildings, this contradiction might undermine the area’s historical assets. Additionally, modifications and damage to facade components might obliterate the authenticity of existing historical value.

Abstract:
Abstract Historic buildings carry the history of human civilisation, and their conservation and utilisation are widely valued by countries around the world. At present, the lack of qualitative and quantitative assessment and evaluation methods for the preservation status and attachment value of historic buildings poses a challenge to the smooth implementation of the conservation and utilisation of historic buildings. The development of a set of system standards for the assessment and evaluation of historic buildings is an urgent task for the conservation and utilisation of historic buildings. This paper proposes a set of comprehensive mapping assessment and evaluation system for historical buildings through the analysis and sorting out of the current situation of preserving historical buildings and their development lineage, architectural style, building type, society and art. Finally, based on the above mapping evaluation system, 20 historical buildings are graded according to the requirements of historical building classification, and according to the different levels. Corresponding conservation measures are proposed and different planning schemes are formulated to better utilise the historical, scientific, cultural and economic values of historical buildings.

Abstract:
Traditionally the value of a building is measured through the historical, cultural, or architectural significance that has emerged from the established traditions of historic preservation policy in the United States. Although the designation of historic properties is a critical venue to save our most historically significant buildings, it does not account for those that fall outside of the established categories of significance. Accounting for the environmental value of buildings and understanding them as repositories of energy and materials repositions the way we value of the built environment for a more sustainable future.

Abstract:
Abstract There are problems with historical buildings when changing the thermal insulation properties of buildings. The Energy Efficiency Act exempted historic buildings from certification. Not all old, historic buildings have monument protection. It is necessary to take into account the above mentioned facts in case of renovation and reconstruction of an old building. Otherwise, a normal building is approached and a building of historical value is treated differently. Methods hidden insulation, which preserves the authenticity of cultural monuments and real estate in the heritage areas, is a current challenge of heritage practice. The sustainability of the operation of historic buildings ultimately means the preservation and appropriate use of the heritage fund. Fortunately, the list of such interventions that do not jeopardize the monumental values or the use of the building is gradually increasing. This is mainly due to modern, increasingly sophisticated materials and technologies. In this paper we offer a basic overview of the most frequently used and practice-tested interventions in historical buildings, but we focus on details.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on the impacts that the adaptive reuse of historical building has on museum service quality by analysing the visitors’ expectations and perceptions through the HISTOQUAL model. It looks deeper into investigating the enhancement of adaptive reuse approach to historical buildings not only to the surrounding environment, but also to the building’s cultural significance. Design/methodology/approach A field survey implementing quantitative approach was conducted by using questionnaires to collect the visitors’ expectations and perceptions on their visits to the selected case study sites. The selected two case study sites are both newly adaptive reuse museums located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Through these case studies, the visitors’ expectations and perceptions were analysed and the differences were identified. Findings Positive feedback on the level of service quality provided at both museums indirectly shows the success of adaptive reuse initiative on the historical buildings towards adapting their new functions as a museum. It was also noted that foreign language leaflets and facilities for less able visitors were among the two service criteria that do not exceed the expectations of users. In general, these findings are crucial in identifying the gap within the services provided and appropriate measures that can be undertaken for further improvement. Research limitations/implications Further study can be employed to a larger population of study to cater for a variety of perspectives from both users and managers of the buildings. Practical implications This paper highlights the implications of users’ feedback towards building usability and functions. It provided imperative findings from the users’ point of view pertaining to the services provided. Social implications The paper illustrates the significance of social perceptions on the implications of service delivery. It also reports empirical evidence in highlighting the importance of users’ attributes towards excellent service delivery. Originality/value Up to present, there exists a small number of studies that look into reviewing the new functions of adaptive reuse buildings. This study now contributes to create a larger number of studies in this scope, especially within the context of Malaysia.

Abstract:
<p>The concept of "Highest and Best Use" (HBU) refers to the optimal utilization of a property that would result in the highest value or benefit. In the context of a heritage building, which conceives historical or cultural significance, adaptive reuse concept becomes particularly relevant. Adaptive reuse involves repurposing a heritage building, such as a former factory building, for a new function that aligns with its historical and architectural characteristics. This approach allows for the preservation of the building's heritage value while also meeting contemporary needs and promoting sustainable development. This study examined the incorporation of HBU features in the three conversions of historical former factory buildings into tourist attractions, namely De Tjolomadoe, Rumah Atsiri, and The Heritage Palace. This study utilized four dimensions of HBU—the legal, physical, financial, and the maximum production dimension—to evaluate the three previous cases that employed adaptive reuse strategies. Results indicated that De Tjolomadoe serves as a noteworthy illustration of the effective implementation of HBU in renovating historical buildings, as evidenced by its achievements.</p>

Abstract:
Purpose Today, about 30 per cent of European existing buildings can be entitled as “historical buildings”. Nowadays, their energy retrofit is important to reach the ambitious European CO2 emissions’ reduction objectives. The purpose of this paper is to outline a methodology to investigate the potential energy savings and the enhancement of historical buildings’ liveability by acting only on their operation, so that the building fabric could be maintained as much as possible as the original evidence. Design/methodology/approach The paper describes the framework’s theoretical phases and their application in two real case studies. The methodology was conceived with a pre-test and post-test design approach. Findings The research demonstrated that the elaborated methodology is flexible and allows the adoption of different energy retrofit strategies for the different cases. Research limitations/implications Limitations arise out of the circumstance that the methodology is based on occupants and technicians willingness to engage in the strategies, so it is not possible to quantify its efficacy ex ante. Practical implications Practical implications can be found in the way of addressing energy retrofit strategies through a user-centric approach with minimum impact on the building itself. Social implications At the same time, the methodology has a strong social aspect with its potential to change people’s attitudes towards energy usage and behaviour. Originality/value This study not only represents the first attempt of applying a systematic energy retrofit strategy based on occupants and technicians behavioural change in historic buildings, but also is one of the first studies dedicated to occupants’ comfort and behaviour assessment in this context.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a PhotoStory: mobile-based application to record the transformation of buildings, including the condition of the buildings and the surrounding environment, whether caused by natural disasters or other factors. There are still limited systems available for people to see the changes in historical buildings. Some existing applications only focus on collecting photos, but the photos are not timeline-organized. This research aims to design a mobile application system that can separately group the building photos sent by users through a geotagging-based mobile application and then visualize it on a timeline-view layout. Grouped photos will make it easier for users to see and trace the context of the building. Based on the usability tests that have been done, the system obtained a value of 87,27%, with the Efficiency parameter getting the highest value among other usability parameters, which was 94%. The obtain shows that the system has been designed successfully. As a result, users feel satisfied and become more familiar with historical buildings. Furthermore, using a timeline-view layout proves that it can provide good effectiveness to users in understanding the transformation of buildings.

Abstract:
Colonial buildings that still survive today are the main attraction because they have high characteristics and historical value. Colonial buildings are one of the cultural heritage that need to be maintained. The existence of colonial residential buildings must be maintained and utilized commercially as one of the solutions to survive. Maintenance of old colonial buildings is not easy, it needs to be quite expensive due to the age of the building and the need for rejuvenation. Heirs or owners of colonial buildings must maximize the building commercially, one of which is on the building on Jalan Beringin Sekayu Semarang by making it a business house. This colonial building has not yet entered the cultural heritage building. Still, it has the potential to enter the cultural heritage building in the future judging from the history and appearance of the building's façade.
The use of colonial residential buildings in business houses needs careful adjustment and arrangement because of the existence of 2 different functions. Residential houses are private zones that require the privacy of homeowners and their families, while business premises are public zones that can be accessed publicly and must reflect professionalism to be trusted by clients and must increase employee productivity. Comfort as a home and professionalism in a place of business are not easy to do without good planning. Planning must not change the total face of the building so that the historical value of the cultural heritage is not lost. Spatial adjustments must also be made by considering aspects of function, comfort, and professionalism. Without good planning, colonial buildings that have historical value, and cultural heritage characteristics will be lost and buildings cannot function properly with disruption of activities as residences and places of business.
The research was conducted with descriptive qualitative research methods through field observation, interviews, and literature studies. Research needs to be done so that colonial buildings can survive as cultural heritage and be used properly with adjustments due to their function as a residence as well as a place of business. The results of the study can describe the changes or adaptations that occur due to the use of colonial buildings of residential houses in places of business. These changes and adaptations include the appearance of the façade, zoning area, and circulation.

Abstract:
Preservation of the load-bearing historical structures represents a common research topic nowadays, as it stands a provocative and difficult task. At the same time, sustainability represents a concept of high interest in the light of recent climate change events, a concept that has become a responsibility in the past years. Safeguarding of the historical buildings with heritage value is an obligation of society to be able to pass on to future generations the historical cultural value of the buildings and the traditional construction techniques on which they were built. Nowadays, many historical buildings are consolidated with modern reversible materials and technologies, without attempting a sustainable consolidation with local traditional materials using the original building techniques and local building materials, which have already proved their effectiveness in the past. This article presents the sustainable consolidation methods proposed to consolidate the historic building of the Villa Abbatis guesthouse in the village of Apos, Sibiu County, Romania. The proposed consolidation techniques use bricks that are manufactured according to traditional method in a recently built brickworks and reuse existing building materials in the building and from abandoned buildings after the departure of ethnic Germans from Romania until 1990. The aim of this paper is to highlight the value of the traditional materials and technologies, that can bring in the retrofitting process not only the assurance of the bearing capacity, but also the preservation of the authenticity and sustainability of the entire process, in a holistic approach.

Abstract:
Bandung is one of the historical cities in Indonesia. Therefore, there are many historic heritage buildings adorning the city. According to local regulations, there are at least around 1700 cultural heritage buildings in the city of Bandung. The effort to preserve historic buildings has been carried out by the Bandung city government to maintain the historical value that exists in each building and its area. Along with the changing times, changes or shifts in the environment often occur in historic areas including social, cultural and economic. This has an effect on the complexity of preserving historic buildings, especially those included in class A cultural heritage buildings. One area that has a high historical value is Jalan Braga. Along the Braga street there are many classes A cultural heritage buildings, one of which is the Insulinde Building. The Insulinde building was built in 1917 as an oil factory office. During its establishment, the Insulinde building has changed functions 6 times. Its location in the Braga area makes adjustments to the building to the area need to be considered to see changes in the environment that occurs from year to year. This research uses qualitative methods by collecting data through literature studies and field observations. From the implementation of this research, it is expected to be able to contribute to the preservation of historic areas through its buildings as well as the adjustment of building functions seen from the shifting environment of the region.

Abstract:
Maintenance and restoration of historical buildings are an important contribution to sustainability of cultural heritage. Refurbishment should be adopted to preserve the essential features of the building ́s history and cultural heritage. Reconstruction of internal plaster in historical buildings belongs to important treatment in a landmark area. Plaster of historical buildings is usually characterized by an open porosity, which makes it sensitive to the degradation caused by physical and chemical agents. Alterations and structural faults can lead to invasive interventions which modify permanently the cultural value and the structural behavior of the buildings, in conflict with necessary preservation requirements.Knowledge of the historical building interior microclimate is essential for the definition of suitable reconstruction. Computer simulation plays major role in determining air flow, which can cause negative influence within historic buildings such as high level of moisture, fungus, chemical reactions etc. In order to prevent deterioration of plaster and to retard their decay, protective products – nanofibers – could be applied on the historical surfaces. Using nanofibers should cause minimal modifications to the historic appearance and protect from negative influences.

Abstract:
In recent years, with the change in the global environment, the frequency of catastrophes has been increasing, which poses a great threat to people's property and life safety. Many landmark buildings have high historical or economic value, and it is important to assess the value of these buildings and develop conservation plans. To evaluate the value of the building, this article first established the POT model to evaluate the risk of the building location. Then, based on the EWM-AHP method, we selected the first-level indicators and the second-level indicators to establish the value evaluation model of the building and used the logic function to establish the protection model through data fitting. According to the comprehensive analysis of the risk assessment and the value assessment of the building, the building protection measures are divided into three types: unprotected, reinforced, and relocated. It is applied to the church of San Marco in Venice, and it is concluded that the area needs to be reinforced. The establishment of the model is of great significance to the evaluation and protection of buildings.

Abstract:
With the acceleration of urbanization and the promotion of economic development, the balance between historical building protection and modern urban renewal has become an important issue faced by many cities. As an important component of urban cultural heritage, historical buildings not only have unique historical and artistic value, but also carry rich cultural memories and social significance. However, with the pressure of urban development and the demand for resource utilization, historical buildings often face the risk of destruction, loss, or even abandonment. With the rapid development of urbanization, old buildings and streets are also being updated simultaneously, but in the mainstream trend, streets and urban buildings are gradually converging with little distinctive features. Based on the protection of historical buildings and living environment, this article takes Tanhualin Street in Wuhan as an example to integrate local culture into the architecture and environment, and create a Wuhan street with local characteristics.

Abstract:
Recently, opinions on demolition and preservation are conflicting with each other over the traces and some of buildings of the Incheon Army Arsenal of Japanese Colonialism. The main reason for this conflict of opinions is that research or investigation on the historical meaning of the Incheon Army Arsenal and its ripple effects, which were created in the Bupyeong area under the Japanese colonialism, has not been dealt with in earnest from a comprehensive perspective. This study reveals the location background and main functions of the Incheon Army Arsenal in the Bupyeong area during the Japanese colonial era, focusing on related data at the time, while exploring the historical meaning of the Incheon Army Arsenal today to identify some of the buildings that made up the Incheon Army Arsenal. We tried to propose a solution to the recent disagreement over preservation and demolition

Abstract:
The historical center of St. Petersburg is a center of huge agglomeration and one of the largest urban development sites on the UNESCO List. Over the years of the successive development of the city and its surroundings, a unique special code of St. Petersburg is formed and it includes both tangible and intangible components. In international theory and practice of heritage preservation, these components named the attributes of value. Ordinary historical buildings as one of the attributes of the outstanding universal value of World Heritage Site in the same time can transfer us the stages of architectural and urban development of the territory and continue to participate in the formation of a harmonious environment and is one of the most important indicators of its completeness. Historic buildings in St. Petersburg are preserved by St. Petersburg Law № 820-7 “About the boundaries of the united protection zones of cultural heritage sites ...". Currently, the borders of the historical settlement "St. Petersburg" and its protection value, which also includes historical buildings have been developed and approved by the Methodological Council of the Ministry of Culture of Russia. In this case, it seem that the methodology for classification of historical buildings not only relevant, but necessary, and it does not matter what kind of legal instrument for historic building preservation will be taken in future. This methodology is based on three main principles “value, integrity, authenticity”, which are considered in the context of the significance of historical development as an attribute of the outstanding universal value of a World Heritage site.

Abstract:
Historic and protected buildings are increasingly valued due to their valuable historical and cultural value. The assessment of the safety state of historic buildings has received more attention. Emerging machine learning algorithms, with their excellent computational performance, provide new ideas and new means to solve practical problems in various fields. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for assessing the safety state of historic buildings based on machine learning techniques. Firstly, based on the analysis of the characteristics of historical buildings and common security problems, the application of wireless sensor networks to the security monitoring of historical buildings is proposed in order to improve the automation of monitoring. Then, in order to improve the accuracy of the assessment, a combination of kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA) and support vector machine (SVM) is used to establish the security monitoring model. The experimental results show that by choosing a suitable KCCA function, the redundant features of the data can be reduced while the comprehensiveness of the building structure identification features can be retained, thus effectively improving the prediction accuracy of the SVM. The KCCA-SVM model can accurately predict the physical quantities such as relative structural displacement of historical buildings with good reliability.

Abstract:
In attempts to improve the energy efficiency of protected historical buildings, two barriers arise. The first is the restrictions imposed by authorities that are responsible for cultural heritage preservation. The second is the exclusion of protected buildings from strict compliance with energy efficiency requirements in current regulations, such as the issue of an Energy Performance Certificate, which removes them from conventional channels of public policies. Both of these issues put heritage in a delicate situation, especially when they are intended for privately developed residential uses. This paper presents a methodology for assessing and establishing a trade-off between energy performance and the cultural value of heritage buildings through the comprehensive analysis of a case study: the retrofitting of Can Armengol Palace in Palma de Mallorca (Spain). The study revealed (1) the need to objectify the cultural values of the building as far as possible to identify conflicts with the strategies of energy efficiency improvement; and (2) the appropriateness of considering every aspect of a rehabilitation intervention in a global simultaneous approach, not just energy aspects. The method that was used had five steps: acquiring a deep knowledge of the building configuration, assessing the building performance for every legal requirement, identifying cultural values, defining intervention criteria, and analyzing intervention effects on the protected elements of the building. The most important contribution in this study is the detailed and extended definition of architectural heritage values and the consideration of interventions resulting from sustainability retrofits as a new kind of value, that reflects current worries, for which future generations will remember us.

Abstract:
One area that has a rich cultural heritage is Bali. Bali is very well known as a very beautiful place and is often visited by tourists in Indonesia and outside Indonesia. Temple buildings in Bali have unique characteristics that reflect the richness of Indonesian culture. So many tourists are interested in vacationing there. However, due to the uniqueness of each temple building there, there is a lack of knowledge about the buildings being seen, so the main aim of this design is to develop a system for recognizing historical temple buildings in Indonesia through building images. More broadly, this design contribution can be applied in the development of similar systems for other historical regions in Indonesia, enriching efforts to preserve and promote cultural heritage nationally. Thus, this design not only paves the way for innovation in the field of image recognition, but also has a positive impact in preserving valuable cultural property. The method used for recognition is Local Binary Pattern as texture feature extraction from temple building images, while Support Vector Machine with a polynomial kernel is used to recognize temple buildings. It is hoped that the combination of these two methods can provide good results in recognizing temple buildings with the correct classification level. The accuracy of this design model using 90 percent training data and 10 percent test data was 45.93 percent, while when using 80 percent training data and 20 percent test data, the accuracy dropped slightly to 43.96 percent. When using 90 percent training data, the recognition of historical buildings produces a precision of 59 percent, a recall value of 71 percent, and an f1-score of 57 percent. On the other hand, with 80 percent training data, the recognition of historical buildings produces 62 percent precision, 72 percent recall value, and 57 percent f1-score.

Abstract:
Retrofitting measures in old buildings aimed at reducing energy usage have become important procedures meant to counteract the effects of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study is to evaluate energy usage, thermal comfort, and CO2 emissions of an old building by changing parameters such as building orientation, shading systems, location, low energy film application, and alternative energy supply in the form of a geothermal heat pump. When evaluating the buildings in terms of geographical location with or without applying the low energy film, the results show that the city of Gävle in Sweden requires the most heating energy, 150.3 kWh/m2∙year (B0) compared to Jakarta (L0), which requires 23.8 kWh/m2∙year. When examining the thermal comfort, cases B4 and L4 demonstrate the best results in their respective categories (B0–B4 are cases without low energy film and L0–L4 are cases with applied low energy film). The results for the CO2 emissions levels for B0–B4 and L0–L4 indicate that B4 has the highest value, 400 kg CO2 eq/year higher than B0, and L1 has the lowest value, 731 kg CO2 eq/year lower than B0. The economic feasibility study illustrates that the installation of a geothermal heat pump with at least a coefficient of performance of 4.0 leads to a shorter payback period than solely applying LEF.

Abstract:
The article highlights the challenges and proposes solutions for integrating solar PV systems into historic buildings. The essential factors and their constituents (excluding natural and orientation), which limit the integration of solar electrical systems (PV) into historical buildings, are analyzed. It proposes its own view of the degree of value of territories and the most historic buildings and associated legal restrictions. The main properties of photovoltaic cells that influence the choice of solutions for integration into buildings of various categories in territories of different values are determined. The suitability for the integration of the visible parts of solar photovoltaic systems is assessed in terms of their selection and adaptation of their properties in the conditions of the historical environment. The visibility of photovoltaic cells installed on the outer shell of building structures from public spaces is investigated as an aesthetic component of integration, initial conditions, approaches and tools for its analysis. A bunch of value features of territories and buildings with a visual and aesthetic component is proposed as the basis for resolving issues related to determining the level of “criticality of the environment” or “sensitivity of the historical context”. Historical buildings of all categories of value make up a significant part of the construction fund of our state. They are the hallmark of our historic cities. But their normal functioning, and possibly their existence, primarily depends on the preservation of their utilitarian function and adaptation to new energy realities. In order to preserve the architectural heritage for future generations, it is necessary to find such approaches and solutions in the energy modernization of historic buildings that will simultaneously increase comfort, reduce energy bills and minimize environmental impact - to preserve historical and aesthetic values.

"Facility Energy Management Application of HBIM for Historical Low-Carbon Communities: Design, Modelling and Operation Control of Geothermal Energy Retrofit in a Real Italian Case Study." Energies 13, no. 23 (December 1, 2020): 6338. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en13236338.
Abstract:
The highest challenge of energy efficiency of building stock is achieving improved performance in existing buildings and, especially, in heritage buildings which per se are characterized by massive limitations against the implementation of the most sophisticated solutions for energy saving. In Italy, historical buildings represent more than 30% of the building stock and the vast majority require energy retrofit, while ensuring the preservation of the heritage value and acceptable comfort conditions. In this context, historical buildings must be retrofitted and re-functioned by introducing innovative technologies aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving human comfort, health, and safety. To this aim, this study implements the Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) approach for the integrated modeling, monitoring, management, and maintenance of a novel geothermal system involving horizontal ground source heat exchangers (GHEXs) coupled to an adsorption heat pump for the energy refurbishment of historical buildings. In detail, a rural building part of a medieval complex in Perugia, Central Italy, is considered as a pilot case study. The analysis stresses the potential of the Facility Management (FM) applications of HBIM to provide a tool for the human-centric operational management control of the building energy performance and indoor comfort when combined with the building monitoring and supervision system. Therefore, this integrated HBIM approach may drive the path towards the user-centric re-functioning of heritage buildings.

Abstract:
The article deals with the process of transformation of Saint Petersburg buildings in the period of the XVIII-XX centuries. The buildings of the city center have been rebuilt many times, and behind the facade designed in a specific style there may hide walls referring to various historical periods. The value of a building is determined not only with its architectural and spatial characteristics, but also with building materials and structural elements used. Specific cases of transformation of buildings` facades over time are analyzed on the examples of buildings located on Millionnaya Street and English Embankment. The issue of preserving, exhibiting, and museumifying structural elements is raised.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the most influential buildings elements in term of the cost for timber restoration works. Design/methodology/approach – The research employed the case studies methods with questionnaires surveys. Two case studies were chosen and questionnaire surveys were distributed to contractors and consultation companies. The cost was identified based on the elemental cost analysis of historic timber buildings. Findings – The restoration of historic timber buildings in Malaysia has grown rapidly, especially in the UNESCO world heritage sites, Melaka and Penang. Data obtained on the restorations of timber buildings show that the most influential elements were upper floors, roofs and walls. Termites’ invasions and the lack of building analysis were found to be the major issue in timber restoration works. In addition, the availability of timber material contributed significantly to the increase of cost for restoration works. Originality/value – The cost for every element was identified and was used as a reference for new restorations projects of historical, timber buildings. This paper also highlighted the causes for the problems and the factors affecting the cost of timber restoration works. These data are useful information, especially for surveyors and contractors who are involved in the restoration of historic timber buildings. Maintaining or replacing these elements with other material can help to minimise the restoration cost of timber buildings in Malaysia.

Sustainability 13, no. 4 (February 20, 2021): 2325. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su13042325.
Abstract:
Historic building restoration and renovation requires sensitivity to the cultural heritage, historic value, and sustainability (i.e., building physics, energy efficiency, and comfort) goals of the project. Energy-efficient ventilation such as demand-controlled ventilation and heat recovery ventilation can contribute to the aforementioned goals, if ventilation concepts and airflow distribution are planned and realized in a minimally invasive way. Compared to new buildings, the building physics of historic buildings are more complicated in terms of hygrothermal performance. In particular, if internal insulation is applied, dehumidification is needed for robust and risk-free future use, while maintaining the building’s cultural value. As each ventilation system has to be chosen and adapted individually to the specific building, the selection of the appropriate system type is not an easy task. For this reason, there is a need for a scientifically valid, systematic approach to pair appropriate ventilation system and airflow distribution solutions with historical buildings. This paper provides an overview of the interrelationships between heritage conservation and the need for ventilation in energy-efficient buildings, regarding building physics and indoor environmental quality. Furthermore, a systematic approach based on assessment criteria in terms of heritage significance of the building, building physics (hygrothermal performance), and building services (energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and comfort rating) according to the standard EN 16883:2017 are applied.

Abstract:
Abstract Cigarette Factory Gunung Kedu and Cigarette Factory Gunung Kelapa are kretek industries owned by the Atmowidjojo family. This family has a big role in the economic progress of the Kudus Kulon community. This role can be seen in the large number of jobs provided for the surrounding community. Physical relics that are still intact to date are; Atmowidjojo’s house, Nadirun’s house, office, and Gunung Kedu factory. Buildings that have historical value are important elements in the development of the city area, as the identity and image of the city. However, at this time the awareness of the public and the government regarding the preservation of buildings is quite lacking. The phenomenon that occurs in the Kudus Kulon area at this time is that many historical buildings belonging to the community are sold and torn down. Sales and demolition of buildings due to the high cost of maintaining historic buildings. Based on this importance, it is necessary to apply the concept of adaptive reuse as a sustainable step in preserving buildings that have historical value in Kudus. The purpose of this research is to study the steps for the sustainability of the application of conservation in buildings that have a history, with building conditions that are still suitable for use. The method in this research uses descriptive qualitative using a case study approach.

Abstract:
The occurrence of radionuclides in the raw materials from which the building materials are made is a potential radiation risk in buildings constructed from these materials. In this study, four historical buildings were investigated regarding the natural radioactivity of the used bricks. The gamma radiation was evaluated using the measured mass activities of the most important radionuclides and expressed by the gamma indexes (Iγ) and dose rates. The results proved that the activity concentrations of 232Th and 40K radioisotopes in bricks are higher than worldwide values. Even though Iγ do not exceed the recommended value (Iγ ˂ 1), the absorbed dose rate for the structures in indoor air was calculated in the range 115.94-161.44 nGy/h which is twice the global average for this parameter.

Abstract:
The assessment of buildings facilitates the exploration of the viability of progressive and organic renewal, prevents the aimless and unorganized demolition of residential buildings in previous urban renewal projects, and facilitates the balancing of the preservation and sustainable development of historical urban areas. Studies have rarely examined the effect of regional factors on building renewal or differentiated the effects of historic preservation and development conditions. The fundamental function of historical urban areas in China is to provide residence. Therefore, this study developed a framework to identify the renewal type of residential buildings. The developed framework was used to construct a demand–potential–constraint model with assessment indicators related to three dimensions, namely renewal demand, development potential, and preservation constraint. Moreover, discriminant matrices were employed to divide the renewal of residential buildings into four modes and subdivide it into six types. The historical urban area of Suzhou was selected as the study site. According to the results of renewal type identification, renewal schedules and models with high referential value can be developed by urban renewal planners, which facilitates the optimization of resource allocation. The developed framework provides novel theoretical and practical insights regarding building renewal assessment in historical urban areas.

Abstract:
Purpose – Maintaining a city’s identity and locality is an urgent problem in urban construction. Historical districts are very important parts of a city. However, non-heritage buildings, which make a significant contribution to the character and appearance of historical areas, are facing arbitrary demolition. They are more often ignored compared with buildings on the protection list. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This paper chooses two historic blocks in Wuxi, in which 256 non-heritage buildings were examined, the SPSS method and the AHP method are used to find renewal modes for the buildings that had not finished updates, and the two blocks are then used as practical cases to validate the matching results. Findings – In conclusion, on the one hand, according to different building categories, different renewal modes are found. On the other hand, this study finds differences in the renewal modes of different historic districts. Originality/value – The study shows a renewal method for non-heritage buildings, which require attention due to their dangerous situation, as these buildings in historical districts also contribute to a city’s uniqueness and locality. These results should be helpful in the planning and practices for urban historical districts.

Abstract:
Museums housed in historical buildings combine the intrinsic value of the collections with the historical and architectural values of the building itself. Although usually made with thick elements with high thermal inertia, very effective in damping and delaying the heat flow, these buildings are usually characterized by elements with low thermal resistance, poor-quality windows and low area/volume ratio in the noblest buildings, which renders them ineffective at maintaining a stable indoor climate adequate for conservation, comfort and energy efficiency issues. In this paper, a simulation study was carried out to analyze the impact of the building location (weather), thermal envelope and climate control strategies by analyzing a generic room of the National Museum of Ancient Art of Lisbon. A simulation study was carried out for 15 European cities to verify the impossibility of standardizing the rehabilitation solutions in cultural heritage since energy needs depend on the location. It was concluded that the focus on climate control strategies has great potential for energy reduction and that in temperate climates of southern Europe, the improvement of thermal transmittance has a reduced effect on the building’s response.

Abstract:
The author analyzes the reconstruction of the historical buildings of Kyiv in the 1920s – 1930s. The causes and consequences of such reconstructions on the preservation of the authentic appearance of the historical and cultural heritage of the city are researched. Particular attention is focuses on the classification of resonstruction types. Each of the types of such reconstructions is analyzed, its characteristics, causes, consequences and specific examples are given. There are four such types in the article. The first type includes buildings superimposed on the upper floors (floor). This was the most common way of reconstruction of Kyiv buildings of the 19th – early 20th centuries. Excluding a few successful examples of such reconstructions, most of them had detrimental effects on the architecture and had low aesthetics. The second type includes a rather rare type – extensions of buildings. The quality of such reconstruction examples is pretty different, but it did not improve the architecture of reconstructed buildings. The third type is a cardinal reconstruction, which provided not only an extension or superstructure but also a complete change of facade decor and architectural style. As a result of such reconstructions, many valuable examples of the architecture of the past were lost. The value and architectural aesthetics of the reconstructed buildings were different. There were examples when the rebuilt buildings did not yield to the beauty of the previous ones, but often such reconstructions led to the architectural degradation of buildings. The fourth type of reconstruction was to deprive buildings of certain decorative and structural elements without replacing them with new ones. Such works were aimed at simplifying the further repair and maintenance of the building in conditions of total nationalization.

Abstract:
In order to maintain the old historical image of the city, it is necessary to look back into the past and identify the iconic buildings that have been existing during the last decades. By recognizing those valuable structures, architects together with the help of decision makers should take actions to revitalize the uses of those valuable buildings in order to prevent building’s decay or destruction.
Old historical Arabic public bathhouses (Hammam) were chosen as distinctive buildings that have been used frequently during the 19th century in Alexandria city. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of applying the rehabilitation policies for the revitalization of those heritage buildings that have shaped for a long time the character of the old town in Alexandria. This paper will first discuss the beneficial use of the rehabilitation scheme that helps in safeguarding the social, cultural and economical value of the built heritage. The concept of rehabilitation mainly focuses that no historic building should be pulled down until serious effort has been made. Then, El Masry Arabic public bathhouse (hammam) located at Minet El Basal district in Alexandria old town has been selected as a case study on which the rehabilitation process has been applied through field surveying study and a literature background as well. Finally the study has proved that the rehabilitation process for the historical structures can lead to a great social contribution that help in preserving the original identity of the historical town.

Abstract:
After the Zagreb earthquakes in March 2020, around 25,000 buildings were estimated damaged, most of them being in the historic city center. This fact is not that surprising since most of the city center buildings are unreinforced masonry structures that have not been assessed in quite some time and usually no retrofitting methods were ever applied. The rapid post-disaster assessment began the same day after the first earthquake occurred. Through mostly visual assessment methods, the basic idea is to identify the safety and usability of buildings in general. This type of assessment was also conducted in one of the oldest Croatian cultural institutions, Matica Hrvatska. It is a building of great historical significance and cultural value, as is most of the city center. Accordingly, this building was constructed with no consideration given to seismic events and with the use of traditional materials and building techniques. In the scope of this paper, urgent actions that were taken are shown with problems and challenges that occurred. Furthermore, the decision-making process after an earthquake is elaborated. In addition, a numerical model is developed in 3Muri software for structural modeling. A non-linear static pushover analysis is performed, and possible failure mechanisms are examined. Furthermore, real-life damage is compared to the software results, and a conclusion process of the building’s usability is explained. In the end, the results obtained are analyzed and conclusions regarding the efficiency of the used software are drawn.

Abstract:
The plantation industry building has an important value in the development of history and architecture in Indonesia, so it is necessary to do research and documentation. One of them is the Pasir Junghuhn Hospital in Purbasari Plantation, which has begun to forget its history and appear physically damaged, so it is feared that it will experience more serious damage and eliminate its historical traces. Archaeological research methods with data collection techniques: surface survey, oral history interviews, literary studies, and colonial archives, provide an explanation of the history and architecture of buildings and the important values contained therein. The results obtained are the building of Pasir Junghuhn Hospital which has historical value, local wisdom, and knowledge of modern western technology and the architectural style of the Hindia Baru typical of the plantation buildings of its era.

"STUDY OF LAYOUT, CIRCULATION, AND ORNAMENTS IN TEMPLE BUILDING (Case Study: Satya Budhi Temple, Bandung)."

Abstract:
The existence of temple buildings in Indonesia is part of the acculturation of Chinese culture that develops time by time. The temple, which is functionally used as a place of worship, has a unique role in historical developments in Indonesia, especially in Bandung. Satya Budhi Temple is one of the temple buildings in Bandung, which is more than 50 years old and is the oldest temple in this city. This building is part of the cultural heritage of Bandung, whose sustainability should be studied in terms of architecture. This research seeks to dig deeper into how the temple building's layout, circulation flow, and ornaments manifest the values of the Chinese philosophy of life, society, and culture. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive method accompanied by sketches of the elements forming space and circulation. The findings in this study show that the architecture of the temple has a distinctive spatial layout accompanied by a linear circulation which represents the journey towards the profane-sacred transition of humans towards God. From the findings of this study, it is hoped that cultural heritage buildings with a typology of worship places can continue to be preserved through preservation and revitalization efforts so that their historical value is well maintained.Keywords: Layout, Circulation flow, Ornament, Temple building, Cultural heritage building
