Technologies for seismic and energy retrofit are reviewed to assess their applicability on building typologies in terms of compatibility, cost, and disruption time, and facilitate decision making.
The report introduces a simplified method for the assessment of the combined seismic and energy retrofit of existing buildings along with their environmental performance in a life-cycle perspective.
Existing methodologies for the seismic and energy retrofit assessment of existing buildings are reviewed and a simplified method is introduced.
A technical report addressing simplified approaches for the identification of building typologies that require renovation, focusing on the Italian context.
A science-for-policy report summarising the main outcomes of the pilot project ‘Integrated techniques for the seismic strengthening and energy efficiency of existing buildings’.
A review of seismic upgrading techniques for reinforced concrete, masonry and steel buildings, which constitute the majority of the building stock in the EU.
A science for policy report addressing policy measures for the seismic and energy upgrading of buildings across the EU, regional prioritisation of building renovation, and impact of renovation scenarios focusing on priority regions.
An overview of collected policy measures for the upgrading of existing buildings across 16 EU Member States that included seismic risk in their national risk assessment in 2015.
Renovation scenarios are defined and their impact is investigated, considering seismic and energy efficiency upgrading of residential buildings, independently and in an integrated way.
Priority regions for building renovation across the EU-27 are identified considering seismic risk, energy performance of buildings, and socioeconomic aspects.
