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:
Abstract The purpose of this work is to provide a framework for the vulnerability of traditional historical buildings. Buildings that are not constrained and do not have a design obligation for minor energy retrofit interventions. The digitization of the construction sector can help to design interventions with Digital Twin methodologies that can be integrated into a single document that collects them as the Digital Building Logbook. We propose a definition of an innovative workflow that defines integrations and technological innovations in the historical building stock. In this work are presented operational proposals to ensure and increase the protection and conservation of the Italian historical building stock, trying to strengthen the activities of designers and companies for the reduction of seismic vulnerability in case of maintenance or energy retrofit.

Abstract:
This article presents a methodology for estimating seismic retrofit costs from historical data. In particular, historical retrofit-cost data from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 156 is used to build a generalized linear model (GLM) to predict retrofit costs as a function of building characteristics. While not as accurate as an engineering professional’s estimate, this methodology is easy to apply to generate quick estimates and is especially useful for decision makers with large building portfolios. Moreover, the predictive modeling approach provides a measure of uncertainty in terms of prediction error. The article uses prediction error to compare different modeling choices, including the choice of distribution for costs. Finally, the proposed retrofit-cost model is implemented to estimate the cost to retrofit a portfolio of federal buildings. The application illustrates how the choice of distribution affects cost estimates.

Abstract:
Building retrofitting is seen as an efficient method for improving a building’s energy performance. On the other hand, when historical buildings are considered for this procedure, retrofitting gets more complicated. As historical buildings typically consist of low-performance building and energy systems, energy retrofits can be highly beneficial. However, not every retrofit technology can be installed in a historical building. In this paper, the study carried out for the implementation of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) solutions in the Historic Centre of Évora is provided, within the framework of the European project POCITYF (Project H2020). The study took into consideration all the observations of the Regional Directorate of Culture of Évora and the administration of the involved schools (including the Association of Parents), the needs of the Municipality of Évora, and the capabilities of technology developers ONYX and Tegola. The proposed solutions aim at fulfilling all the guidelines for preserving the historic centre and achieving the positivity metrics agreed with the European Commission on the challenging and indispensable path to the decarbonisation of European cities.

Abstract:
Abstract The building sector is a primary target for GreenHouse Gas emissions mitigation efforts, as it accounts for 36% of final energy use. The most effective mitigation strategies include the energy retrofit of the existing building stock. Among existing buildings, particular attention should be paid to school buildings, which are among the most diffuse public buildings in Europe, most of them built decades ago, with a resulting high potential in terms of refurbishment effectiveness. Moreover, schools cover a social function and require high levels of indoor environmental quality. In this field, the research activity is intense, but retrofit strategies are still conceived considering historical weather data, which could not represent correctly present and future climate patterns, reducing the retrofit effectiveness. In this work, an energy retrofit to “Passivhaus standard” of a childcare centre located in the Mediterranean area is analysed through dynamic simulations. A post-retrofit building model is simulated using Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) and compared with the ones simulated in future weather scenarios, created using the morphing method. The analyses aim to assess if the technical solutions currently adopted on the basis of the TMY will lead to acceptable energy performance in future decades. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis of different design solutions is performed, aiming to assess their effectiveness in future weather conditions.

Abstract:
This study aims to assess the influence of greenery shading and transparent surfaces on historical building’s energy demand under a retrofit point of view. To achieve this goal, the energy requirement of the whole building has been considered. In order to improve buildings energy efficiency several simulations have been performed. In particular, the effects of some interventions related to different windowed elements, characterized by progressively improved thermal properties, have been taken into account.

Abstract:
To revitalize a historical building, the Taipei Camphor Factory, a major renovation is being coordinated by National Taiwan Museum. As part of the project, a seismic assessment was conducted to ensure the structural safety of the building. A three-dimensional finite-element analysis was carried out based on material data collected from the field, and it was found out that both the as-is building and the current retrofit plan would not provide adequate seismic capacity. To resolve this problem, an shear walls scheme was configured and seemed to yield a much better performance.

Abstract:
Conservation of heritage buildings has become a very important issue in many countries, as it is in Italy, where a great number of existing buildings of historical–artistic importance are seismically vulnerable. To improve existing building behavior, researchers focus on the design of retrofit interventions. This paper presents the application of energy dissipation devices in the retrofit of two existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings, both irregular in plan and along their heights, designed for gravitational loads only. These buildings are representative of Italian public housing built in the 1960s and early 1970s. Technical information and mechanical properties of materials are presented, and non-linear analyses are carried out to evaluate the buildings’ behavior under earthquake loads. Many of their structural members do not satisfy the verifications required by the Italian Building Code. Retrofit interventions with buckling-restrained axial dampers in one building and viscous fluid dampers in the other are proposed. The verifications of the retrofitted buildings and the amount of the energy absorbed by the devices with respect to that absorbed by the unretrofitted buildings show the effectiveness of the proposed interventions. Moreover, it is demonstrated that adequate dispositions of the dissipative devices in plan and along the height increase the torsional stiffness of the buildings, improving their structural response under seismic action.

Abstract:
The low accessibility to the information regarding buildings current performances causes deep difficulties in planning appropriate interventions. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors make available a high quantity of data on energy consumptions and indoor conditions of an existing building that can drive the choice of energy retrofit interventions. Moreover, the current developments in the topic of the digital twin are leading the diffusion of Building Information Modeling (BIM) methods and tools that can provide valid support to manage all data and information for the retrofit process. This paper shows the aim and the findings of research focused on testing the integrated use of BIM methodology and IoT systems. A common data platform for the visualization of building indoor conditions (e.g., temperature, luminance etc.) and of energy consumption parameters was carried out. This platform, tested on a case study located in Italy, is developed with the integration of low-cost IoT sensors and the Revit model. To obtain a dynamic and automated exchange of data between the sensors and the BIM model, the Revit software was integrated with the Dynamo visual programming platform and with a specific Application Programming Interface (API). It is an easy and straightforward tool that can provide building managers with real-time data and information about the energy consumption and the indoor conditions of buildings, but also allows for viewing of the historical sensor data table and creating graphical historical sensor data. Furthermore, the BIM model allows the management of other useful information about the building, such as dimensional data, functions, characteristics of the components of the building, maintenance status etc., which are essential for a much more conscious, effective and accurate management of the building and for defining the most suitable retrofit scenarios.

Abstract:
Améliorer l'efficacité énergétique des bâtiments et limiter l'ilot de chaleur urbain est une priorité, en particulier dans les centres-villes historiques, composés de bâtiments peu isolés. Un des leviers d’action envisagés est l'isolation des parois. Cependant, la rénovation des parois anciennes rencontre de nombreux obstacles (technologiques, architecturaux, urbains). Ces parois ont notamment un comportement hygrothermique spécifique, qu’il convient de prendre en compte pour éviter l’apparition de pathologies et estimer correctement les déperditions énergétiques. Il est donc primordial d’intégrer les transferts hygrothermiques à travers les parois pour simuler efficacement le bâti ancien. Néanmoins, la plupart des modèles à l’échelle urbaine négligent les transferts hydriques à travers les parois.Cette thèse propose une nouvelle méthode de résolution numérique pour les transferts hygrothermiques, qui est adaptée aux différentes contraintes de la modélisation à l’échelle urbaine (résolutions spatio-temporelles, méthode numérique etc.). La validation est réalisée en deux temps : une partie numérique et une partie expérimentale. La validation numérique est effectuée par une comparaison inter-modèle, en s’appuyant sur quinze compositions de parois et trois climats. La validation expérimentale utilise les données enregistrées dans plusieurs bâtiments rénovés à partir de matériaux biosourcés et instrumentés dans le centre médiéval de la ville de Cahors.Ensuite, les transferts couplés de masse et de chaleur dans les parois sont intégrés dans le modèle de climat urbain TEB (Town Energy Balance), en utilisant la méthode développée et validée. La pertinence de cette nouvelle version de TEB pour représenter le centre-ville médiéval de Cahors est évaluée par comparaison avec des mesures in-situ. Une amélioration significative est constatée pour la simulation de l’humidité relative intérieure. L’impact des transferts d’humidité est discuté à plusieurs échelles.Finalement, la réhabilitation des parois anciennes des bâtiments du centre-ville de Cahors est étudiée à partir de plusieurs types d’isolant thermique positionnés à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur. Ces scénarios de réhabilitation sont simulés en utilisant la version modifiée de TEB incluant les transferts d’humidité à travers les parois. Leur pertinence est comparée, vis-à-vis des enjeux énergétiques, du confort intérieur et extérieur, de la conservation du patrimoine et de la durabilité des parois. Des recommandations sont formulées en fonction du type de parois
Improving the energy efficiency of buildings and mitigating the urban heat island is a priority, particularly in historical city centres, which are composed of poorly insulated buildings. One of the levers of action envisaged is wall insulation. However, the retrofit of old walls faces numerous obstacles (technological, architectural, urban). In particular, these walls have a specific hygrothermal behavior, which needs to be taken into account to avoid the appearance of pathologies and to correctly estimate energy losses. It is therefore essential to integrate hygrothermal transfers through the walls to effectively simulate old buildings. However, most urban-scale models neglect moisture transfer through walls.This thesis proposes a new numerical method for solving hygrothermal transfers, which is adapted to the various constraints of urban-scale modeling (spatio-temporal resolutions, numerical method, etc.). Validation is carried out in two steps: a numerical part and an experimental part. Numerical validation is based on an inter-model comparison, using fifteen wall compositions and three climates. Experimental validation uses data recorded in several buildings retrofitted with bio-based materials and instrumented in the medieval city centre of Cahors.Then, coupled heat and mass transfer through walls are integrated into the TEB (Town Energy Balance) urban climate model, using the developed and validated method. The suitability of this new version of TEB to represent the medieval town center of Cahors is assessed by comparison with in-situ measurement. A significant improvement is observed when simulating indoor relative humidity. The impact of moisture transfer is discussed at several scales.Finally, the retrofit of the old walls of buildings in the city center of Cahors is studied using several types of thermal insulation positioned inside or outside. These retrofitting scenarios are simulated with the modified version of TEB, including moisture transfer through the walls. Their relevance is compared with regard to energy issues, indoor and outoor comfort, heritage conservation and wall durability. Recommendations are given according to the type of wall

Abstract:
40% of the total energy consumed in Europe is consumed by building operation and usage (Itard, et al., 2008). In the temperate climate of central and northern Europe, a significant proportion of this consumption is attributed to building heating during the winter months. Although recent trends in European legislation favor an increase in thermal efficiency of building enclosures for new constructions, the majority of the building stock consists of buildings built to a lower standard of energy efficiency. Over 56 % of the building stock in the central and northern European countries was built before 1970, when the first building energy efficiency regulations were adopted across Europe (Itard, et al., 2008). Even if current regulations require significant energy efficiency measures (EnEV 2009 in Germany requires a maximum heating energy consumption of 50 kWh/m2a) and the trend is to increase the standards even more, a vast portion of the building stock will have been built to much lower standards. Retrofitting existing buildings represents thus a priority, if a significant reduction in energy usage for buildings is to be achieved. There is a great opportunity in tackling this problem, especially when keeping in mind the fact that most of these inefficient building require significant renovation measures, as the lifespan of their systems comes to an end The case of historic masonry buildings across Europe is especially relevant, as they pose special challenges related to the historic preservation of facades and even interiors. It is thus the aim of the present research to compile a set of principles and technologies that can be used for the thermal retrofit of historic buildings.

Abstract:
Historic dwellings in the UK make up 20% of all homes and are amongst the most poorly performing part of the English housing stock in energy use terms, with the lowest SAP rating and highest average annual CO2 emissions. The degree to which proposals to retrofit the UK housing stock can reduce emissions depends on current energy use and CO2 emissions. Current methodology relies on national aggregated statistics to provide average energy use data; historic buildings as a subset cannot be segregated. In order to assess realistic carbon reduction potential it is vital that performance of historic dwellings is established from disaggregated data sources or with validated and stakeholder accepted models that can accurately prescribe energy use in an affordable, easy to use and transparent manner. This research attempts to begin such orthodoxy. The benchmark derived in this study suggests that historic buildings in Bath use less energy than predicted by national, regional, and local average energy use, but they are not low energy dwellings. They therefore require retrofit adaptations to reduce CO2 emissions. Procedures to assess the potential for such measures are of primary importance as some adaptations impact on both fabric and aesthetics. It is therefore imperative that the contribution such alterations make towards reducing CO2 emissions can be weighed against the change they may make to our built heritage. Using the Passive House Planning Package modelling tool, predictions of energy use were provided and validated against actual energy use. The model demonstrated accuracy in predicting energy used when incorporating a reduction factor to reflect intermittent heating patterns. The model was then used to assess the retrofit adaptation measures with a suite of measures incorporating renewable energy technology, delivering CO2 emission reductions approaching 80%. This approach can be applied beyond the UK as the model permits the use of local weather data sets. In establishing a benchmark of energy use in domestic historic dwellings, this work assists in developing suitable and effective solutions that are replicable and durable, permitting built heritage to meet UK emissions targets through the provision of empirical data to evaluate any alteration to fabric or aesthetics against the benefit of carbon savings.

Abstract:
This thesis has quantified that approximately 68,000 examples of timber-framed buildings, built pre-1850, survive to this day. By mapping their geographic location, it becomes apparent that they are predominantly concentrated in the East and Southeast of England, and to a lesser extent in the West Midlands and Welsh Marches, their distribution showing correlation to the historic availability of building materials, climatic conditions and socio-economic factors. As we aim to improve the energy efficiency of our historic buildings, care must be taken to minimize any negative impacts on the existing building fabric. A balance must be achieved between conservation and improved efficiency to avoid damage to their significance, character and historic fabric. Research to date has focused on the retrofit of solid masonry wall construction, with little investigation into timber-framed buildings. Although guidance on the subject exists, there is minimal academic research to validate the approaches proposed. This thesis aims to begin to address this previously under-researched area. In situ monitoring and digital simulation of five case studies allowed the analysis of current approaches to the retrofit of timber-framed properties. The results suggest that improving airtightness should be prioritised over improvements to the thermal performance of walls. It also indicates that monitoring and simulation should form part of any retrofit decision making process, to ensure the greatest improvements in performance with the minimum loss or risk to historic fabric. Concurrently, the use of interstitial hygrothermal simulation software WUFI®Pro 5.3 was used to simulate proposed replacement panel infill details. Whilst no substantial risk of biological attack has been identified, further physical testing is recommended to corroborate these findings, and simulations should be repeated for specific climates and orientations prior to their use. Together with future research, it is hoped that this thesis will begin to inform guidance that will enable these buildings that have stood for hundreds of years to survive for many more to come.

Os edifícios antigos representam até 40% do consumo total de energia do parque edificado da União Europeia. Qualquer ação com o objetivo de aumentar o desempenho térmico e energético dos edifícios antigos tem influência no consumo de energia à escala nacional. Contudo, existem dúvidas quanto à compatibilização e aplicação do conceito de “edifício com necessidades quase nulas de energia” (NZEB), disposto na diretiva EPBD 2010/31/EU, em edifícios antigos e património edificado. São levantadas questões acerca da profundidade/agressividade versus eficiência da intervenção, já que o impacte no valor patrimonial do edifício tem que ser residual ou nulo, enquanto o desempenho energético tem de aumentar significativamente. O quarteirão Pombalino do século XVIII, elemento que dá corpo ao Plano de Reconstrução de 1758 da zona baixa da cidade de Lisboa, atualmente designada de “Baixa Pombalina”, sofreu ao longo do tempo um conjunto de alterações que contribuíram para a progressiva delapidação do seu património tecnológico, tendo igualmente consequências nefastas no seu desempenho térmico e energético. Todavia, observámos que o seu desenho inicial possui características arquitetónicas e construtivas com potencial para alcançar o nível NZEB, caso seja adotada uma estratégia de reabilitação energética à escala do quarteirão, ao invés da abordagem usual por edifício ou fração singular. Assim, esta tese demonstra que uma estratégia assente em pacotes de intervenção de âmbito passivo e ativo, aplicada em dois casos de estudo [Q-H & T], reduz a necessidade e o consumo de energia primária para níveis NZEB com um impacte residual no seu valor patrimonial. Para tal, simulámos e comparámos os resultados de 35 pacotes, nos quais combinámos soluções de AVAC, AQS e aproveitamento FER local, com medidas aplicadas no corpo construído, utilizando uma metodologia Building Energy Simulation em dois Building Information Models usando o motor de simulação dinâmica EnergyPlus inserido no software Cypetherm Eplus. Os resultados mostram que um pacote de âmbito passivo otimizado reduz a necessidade energética para climatização em cerca de 56%, enquanto estratégias de ventilação noturna aumentam, aproximadamente 44%, o conforto térmico na estação quente. Na estação fria, observou-se que não é possível o aumento expressivo do conforto térmico apenas com soluções de âmbito passivo. No âmbito ativo, o pacote AVAC bomba de calor Ar-Ar/equipamento a biomassa sólida regista o consumo de energia primária mais baixo, enquanto os sistemas de aproveitamento FER se revelam fundamentais para alcançar um desempenho NZEB. Por fim, o Q-T [lado maior orientado N-S] regista melhor desempenho que o Q-H [lado maior orientado E-O] na generalidade dos parâmetros, alcançando nível NZEB em 7 pacotes versus 3 pacotes, respetivamente. Destes, apenas 3 pacotes são financeiramente viáveis, com um período de retorno do investimento inicial adicional inferior a 9 anos.
ABSTRACT: Historic and traditional buildings represent up to 40% of buildings total energy consumption on the European Union. For this reason, any steps taken to increase its performance has certainly influence on energy consumption at a national scale. However, it is uncertain how to reconcile historical buildings with the Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) concept stated on the EPBD directive 2010/31/EU. This subject has raised questions regarding retrofit interventions depth and efficiency, as the impact on the built heritage value has to be residual or null while energy-related improvements must be noticeable. The 18th-century Pombaline block is the key element of the 1758 Reconstruction Plan of Lisbon downtown area known today as “Baixa Pombalina” district. Over the years, these blocks experienced several interventions that contributed, not only to its heritage and functional identity loss, but also with plausible consequences regarding their thermal and energy behavior. If we consider both constructive and architectural inherent features of the Pombaline blocks first design, it shows potential to achieve NZEB level if a retrofit strategy at a block scale is adopted, instead of the usual single building or fraction approach. With this in mind, this thesis aims to show that a set of passive and active scope retrofit packages applied in two case studies [Block H & T], has a residual effect on the built heritage value as far as leads to NZEB level performance by reducing energy demand and primary energy consumption while increases thermal comfort. Therefore, we simulate and compare the results of 35 retrofit packages, combining HVAC, DWH, and solar thermal and photovoltaic systems with measures applied on the built fabric, using a “Building Energy Simulation” methodology on two “Building Information Models” using the dynamic simulation engine EnergyPlus with the interface software Cypetherm Eplus. The results show that an optimized passive scoped package reduce heating and cooling energy demands up to 56%, while nocturnal cooling strategies increase thermal comfort in summer around 44%. However, only passive solutions proved to be ineffective during wintertime. On the active side, an air-to-air heat pump/biomass HVAC system plus a thermal envelope upgrade displays the best results reducing primary energy consumption, while photovoltaic and solar thermal systems proved to have an essential role to achieve NZEB level. Finally, Block T [longer side facing N-S] display better performance than Block H [longer side facing E-W] in almost every parameters, achieving NZEB in 7 packages versus 3 packages respectively. However, only 3 packages display economic viability with payback periods inferior to 9 years.

It’s most important part that how to maintain the original features on restoration in the process of conserving and protecting cultural assets, the value of monuments and historical buildings increase along with the years increase, but its structure safety situation just opposite, decrease with the years increase. How to adopt suitable reinforcement on walls related with structure safety tight is dispensable to monuments and cultural assets preservation on principle which doesn’t affects the features. The basic estimated formula is expand according to the cracked path developed by scholar recently, The structure program SAP 2000 V9.03 is used for numerical study, the prediction of retrofit device is simulated by simplifying for pure tension diagonals, which neglect the contribution of compression diagonals, the emphatic conclusion to be as follows after carrying out the experiments： 1. Brick arch failure mode：Cracks are separated into shear and flexural cracks, the shear and flexural crack of un-reinforced brick arch occur in arch angle 63o respectively and at the bottom of 3rd brick walls on both sides of opening. 2. The error of ultimate load prediction of un-reinforced brick arch： brick arch will be simplified to portal frame are used to preliminary estimation, in-plane stiffness which only provides from vertical frame, the average error between -20~20%；Structure program are used to simulate brick arch with shell elements analyzed, the average error between -15%~10%. 3. The error of ultimate load prediction after retrofitting：the error of structure program and preliminary estimation are between respectively 35~80% and 25~40%, the reason of error results from the slight deformation between the fixed beam relation with brick arch and reaction force base. 4. The impact of ultimate load after retrofitting：the ultimate load from cyclically loaded tests decrease by 12%, monotonically loaded tests increase by 20%, although it doesn’t increase in cyclically loaded tests, it enhances ductility of overall walls and avoids non-repairable cracks occurred as the view of retrofitted effectiveness. The results of in-plane loading test shows that the story drift angle of yield point is 3.8/1000, visible crack is 2.2/1000,it could succeed the function of warning point if adjusting the yield point before the drift angle 2.2/1000 with further improvement of low-yield steel afterward.

In Taiwan, brick walls are commonly constructed in historic buildings as the primary structural system. In addition to material degradation and ageing, the lack of out-of-plane flexural strength often makes brick walls extremely vulnerable during earthquake. In this study rehabilitation techniques for seismis retrofit of brick constructed buildings used in both foreign and loccal examples are introduced. For verification purpose, a case study on the structural retrofit plans of the Taipei Camphor Factor is presented to demonstrate the applicability of different rehabilitation schemes.

Abstract:
<p>The Christchurch Town Hall (CTH) complex contains six reinforced concrete buildings constructed circa 1970 in Christchurch, New Zealand (NZ). The complex is used for performing arts and entertainment, with an Auditorium that is internationally recognized for its acoustics. It is listed as a Grade-1 heritage building due to its cultural and historical significance. Unfortunately, the CTH foundation system was not originally designed to accommodate liquefaction-induced differential settlement and lateral spreading effects, as highlighted by the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. Although the most extreme ground motions exceeded the NZS 1170.5 code-defined 1/2500 year earthquake loads, the CTH structures performed remarkably well for a design that pre-dated modern seismic codes. Most of the observed structural damage was a result of the differential ground deformations, rather than in response to inertial forces. The post-earthquake observations and signs of distress are presented herein. The primary focus of this paper is to describe two major features of the seismic retrofit project (initiated in 2013) which were required to upgrade the CTH complex to meet 100% of current NZS 1170.5 seismic loadings. Firstly, the upgrade required extensive ground improvement and a new reinforce concrete mat slab to mitigate the impacts future ground deformations. Soil stabilization was provided by a cellular arrangement of jet-grout columns, a relatively new technique to NZ at the time. The new mat slab (typically 600-900 mm) was constructed over the stabilized soils. Secondly, upgrading the superstructure had many constraints that were overcome via a performance-based design approach, using non-linear time-history analysis. Recognizing the heritage significance, the superstructure “resurrection” as a modern building was hidden within the original skin minimized disruption of heritage fabric. Retrofit solutions were targeted, which also minimized the overall works. The 2015–2019 construction phase is briefly discussed within, including jet-grout procedures and sequencing considerations.</p>

Abstract:
AbstractDuring the 1990s, the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) carried out a research and laboratory testing program, the Getty Seismic Adobe Project (GSAP), which investigated the performance of historic adobe structures during earthquakes and developed cost-effective retrofit methods that preserve the authenticity of these buildings. While the GSAP methodology was excellent and effective, it felt its reliance on high-tech materials, equipment and professional expertise was a deterrent to it being more widely implemented. To address this, the GCI initiated in 2009, the Seismic Retrofitting Project (SRP) with the objective of adapting the GSAP approach to better match the equipment, materials, and technical skills available in many countries with earthen sites located in seismic regions.The paper will analyze how the SRP was communicated and bought in by national and international stake holders, how high techniques analysis and low-key testing was combined to better understand the seismic performance of earthen sites, how the knowledge acquired in the process was disseminated among Peruvian and Latin American professionals, how two implementations’ projects were carried out and how a set of guidelines were adopted by Peruvian authorities.

Abstract:
Earthquakes are the most destructive natural phenomena on the earth. Unfortunately, the most historical part of the World is under seismic risk. Seismic activities result in significant damages, even collapse on the historical and monumental structures and centers. In order to evaluate and decide the vulnerability level of any building, first visual and fast nondestructive methods and preliminary evaluation are to be carried out at the beginning for preventing damages. According to this concept, an engineer or an architect can decide whether the building is safe or needs further detailed evaluation to assess its adequacy. Based on these investigations, the best rehabilitation and retrofit method can be chosen. The aim of this chapter is to produce useful framework and easy applicable assumptions to not only the practicing engineer or architect but also to an ordinary person who can broadly understand and note the absence or presence of seismic-resistant features in the building and also the possibilities of further steps like seismic retrofit or rehabilitation.

Abstract:
The reconstruction process of residential buildings damaged by L'Aquila 2009 earthquake initially involved buildings outside historical centres and then, starting from August 2012, residential buildings in historical centres. The reconstruction model related to buildings in historical centres was developed by two special offices, involved in the reconstruction process of L'Aquila municipality and other municipalities, respectively. Both special offices introduced new procedures to manage the reconstruction based on a parametric model to define the maximum public grant to repair and strengthen the damaged buildings in historical centres. The new model was necessary to deal with the reconstruction of historical centres mainly characterized by old masonry building aggregates with a cultural and architectural heritage value. The data collected in the management process of reconstruction outside and inside historical centers, allowed obtaining precious and unique information on buildings and aggregates characteristics, damage and usability ratings as well as repair and retrofitting cost data obtained by funding requests. Furthermore, these data are the basis to carry out a comparison between the repair and retrofit cost data and peculiarities of residential buildings outside and inside historical centers.

Abstract:
<p>Assessment of historical buildings presents specific engineering task, considering the ways they were built and the materials, which were used. Many of them belong to cultural heritage and merit special care and protection. This concerns also the historical buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country is situated in seismic active region of South-East Europe and the majority of the historical buildings were made of stone-masonry. In the case of stronger earthquake motion such buildings could suffer heavy damages. The damages are sometimes cumulated through many years and many causes. Substantial damages were caused by recent war disaster, as well. The aim is to preserve and reveal their aesthetic and historical values and to use original materials and original way of construction, if possible. In most cases seismic assessment procedures result in the requirements for the strengthening or retrofit of the old masonry building structures. Design and construction procedures of repair and strengthening of two medieval stone masonry buildings are presented. Equilibrium between aesthetical and structural demands is discussed.</p>

Abstract:
The proposed research project consists of the seismic rehabilitation of a 1930’s historic building situated in Stockton, California (Seismic Zone 4), using the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation and the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA-356 guidelines. The 2-story building was originally built for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and served as the Stockton Train Depot. The structure consists of un-reinforced brick masonry walls and flexible wood diaphragms. A three-dimension analytical model will be developed and a comparative study will be done for the two approaches. A detailed comparison of the FEMA-356 provisions and the 1997 Uniform Building Code for Conservation (UCBC-97) is performed to establish cost/benefit analyses of the proposed retrofit strategy. A comprehensive comparison of structural capacities of major load-carrying members will also be conducted. Based on the parametric results of this study, a performance-based design scheme will be proposed for retrofitting the existing building to meet the intended seismic performance in the event of major earthquake events.

Buildings aggregates are part of the typical architecture of the historical City center of Zagreb, along with many other city centers throughout Europe. The earthquake in the City of Zagreb (March 2020), and recent earthquakes in Italy, suggested the interaction of structural units within aggregate, and their complex behavior during earthquakes, including seismic pounding. Literature, current norms, and regulations for this problem still do not provide clear instructions. An overview of experimental and numerical methods from the available literature that analyze the mutual influence of buildings in aggregates regarding the characteristics of the City of Zagreb is presented. The emphasis is on unreinforced masonry structures numerical modeling and retrofitting strategies and interventions for the whole aggregate, and analysis of current engineering practice in Croatia.

Abstract:
The Supreme Court of Nepal is the highest court in Nepal. The Supreme Court of Nepal is an important building, built of brick in mud masonry structure and over 54 years of age which got moderate structural damage due to the recent Gorkha earthquake 2015. The need for safety of the building lying at high seismic zone in Nepal, the Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofit design was carried out to improve the building response in future earthquakes. The seismic vulnerability of the building was assessed after the following:(a) historical investigation about the building, (b) detailed geometrical investigation, (c) identification of materials by means of surveys and literature indications, (d) Detailed Intrusive Tests, (f) Detail linear static analysis of the building by means of a Finite Element (FE) model. After these steps, the FE model was used to assess the safety level of the building by means of linear static analyses and identifying a proper retrofitting strategy for this building. Both side wall jacketing and splint and bandage in some inner walls using the bar wire mesh was carried out for retrofitting this building.

Abstract:
Being the first railway station as bridge form above the train track, constructed in Istanbul in 1915, Göztepe Train Station is one of the most special structures conserved in terms of both structural and architectural features till today. In the scope of Marmaray CR3 project, this historical landmark has been renovated and actively used as a train station. The original structural system was composite masonry, including brick masonry walls, steel beams to support timber roof, stone masonry walls and a volta slab to elevate the station. Since the region is seismically active, requirement for seismic strengthening was mandatory in order to maintain the station. There were two main goals during this project: Modifying the main train station building with minimum intervention while achieving target seismic performance level and satisfying the increased demand requirements. Structural system of the historical structure underneath the main station required in order to increase the number of train tracks from two to three. Masonry walls on the sides of the rail tracks have been removed and replaced with reinforced concrete shear walls. While working underneath, the existing station building was suspended until the new structural system below the superstructure is constructed. A special methodology has been developed for this purpose. This method allowed keeping the entire station building intact and preventing any risk of damage to the adjacent structures. Since masonry structures are primarily vulnerable to lateral forces, the masonry structural system is converted to reinforced concrete without modifying the exterior shell of the station. This conversion is carried out by employing in-situ concrete members where special care has been taken to maintain the original facades. Additionally, a seismic isolation system composed of nine curved surface sliding devices has been installed in order to reduce the seismic actions transmitted to the upper structure. It should be noted that seismic isolation also facilitates reduction for modifications at the upper structure. Structural models have been developed based on the characteristics of the base isolation devices, and by considering the modifications on the substructure and the superstructure. As a consequence of the implemented retrofit methodology, the historical structure has been modified at the minimum level, earthquake performance is brought to the target seismic performance level, and the structure was made suitable for functioning of the increased number of tracks.

Abstract. The architectural heritage is the expression of the vast cultural heritage, as a set of cultural and landscape assets, of the different national or international territorialities, which indicates in the connective of the heterogeneous urban, rural and mountain landscape areas, an inestimable value of the monumental historical buildings. The various transformative factors of administrative management and socio-economic cultural type, monitored by quality and compatibility indicators, distinguish different realities over time, in which technological innovations prevail. The objectives are the valorisation and resilience of the architectural heritage at different scales, for the reduction of seismic vulnerability and prevention against natural disasters (floods, erosions, seismic risk, exposure to ultraviolet rays, etc.) and climate crisis, through a model operational that focuses on various innovative strategies that also guarantee an adaptive reuse with a view to sustainability. The intervention criteria on the historical monumental building are according to a project that distinguishes the historical/cultural values with the use of innovative technologies and energy efficiency with the use of innovative materials, for safety needs, fire resistance, integrability, appearance, etc. according to indicators of environmental sustainability and chemical/physical, dimensional, energetic compatibility, etc. with zero environmental impact. Both in line and in cooperation with ICCROM, UNESCO, UNFCCC, Paris Agreement, ICOMOS, New Technology, COP27 Cleantech, etc. The methodological approach is based on phases of documentary collection, mapping, cognitive analysis, cognitive analysis of the architectural heritage privileging the diagnostic aspect, on a meta-project with verification, interdisciplinarity, monitoring and control of the definitive project. Use of innovative smart non-invasive technologies with properties of durability, flexibility, mechanical resistance, thermal conductivity, etc. with nanobiotechnology, innovative materials such as fiberglass mesh and reinforcing bars, on the internal surfaces, socks of artificial micro steel strands for the consolidation and linking between the pre-existing and new walls, of pillars, columns, etc. Use of technologies, local construction techniques and indigenous materials for raw earth buildings, FRCM (Fibre/Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix/Mortar), FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) composites in epoxy or polyester resins with carbon fibers, glass, aramid and boron polymers, for reinforced concrete products, etc.360° video technology, for immersive use both for document management in the archive database and for interactively viewing reconstructed monuments etc., acquisition of 3D models with non-contact 3D scanning technology to preserve and transmit object data in the future.

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. Heat recovery ventilation can contribute to the mentioned goals if ventilation concepts, and airflow distribution is 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, the need for 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.

Abstract:
The year 2050 is considered the deadline for achieving the European climate goal of net zero emissions, an essential sustainability milestone. Current strategies ask for higher retrofitting rates in the building sector, as most of today’s buildings will still be standing and be used in 2050, and longer. However, retrofitting strategies must consider energy and emissions reductions alongside social sustainability, targeting not only the building but also its users. Historically, the focus has been on indoor environmental quality, while other aspects of human well-being such as the quality of views were not addressed as frequently. Educational buildings can function as lighthouse projects, profiting from its many users as communicators. This article presents the retrofitting potential of the central building complex of the Gløshaugen campus of the NTNU in Trondheim in terms of energy, as basis to study the impact of retrofitting strategies on the indoor environment. The study consists of a selection of details, their building physical assessment, and a proposal of retrofitting measures. The results highlight the importance of human-centric definitions in the early (re-)design stages. Humancentric planning aspects can have diverse positive influences on the building’s users, especially in educational and other highly cognitive settings. Their impact however is strongly dependent on the selection of measures and their implementation. Interactions of the many aspects of well-being that can be addressed during retrofitting must be studied further as their interdependencies are often unclear and case specific. Human-centric retrofitting can function as a guide for upcoming mass retrofits throughout Europe for the sustainable achievement of climate goals.

Abstract:
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), existing European buildings consume about 40% of the total energy consumption in Europe. For this reason, in the last decades, several energy policies have been directed to deep renovation of the existing stock (as last 2018/844). Considering that more than one quarter of all European buildings were constructed before the 1950s, we can assume that many of them are of cultural, architectural, social and heritage values, hence in need of special attention for conservation purposes.

Abstract:
The balancing of preservation aspects and energy efficiency is a key challenge in the sustainable management of built heritage. There is a need to get a better fundamental understanding of the processes, barriers and constraints involved in the planning of energy retrofits in historic buildings, and what role standards and guidelines can have in decision making.
