Integrated seismic and energy renovation of buildings

Concept

Our buildings are ageing, posing an urgent need for renovation to achieve multidimensional
European and international goals. Integrated renovation of buildings provides a unique
opportunity to create a safe, sustainable and inclusive built environment. Optimised
investments to modernise buildings will improve the lives of millions of Europeans and
create jobs in the construction ecosystem.

The pilot project ‘Integrated techniques for the seismic strengthening and energy efficiency
of existing buildings’ was initiated by the European Parliament and executed by the Joint
Research Centre of the European Commission. It provides scientific support and technical
guidelines based on data from EU Member States, and the analysis of the European
building stock, renovation technologies, assessment methodologies and scenarios for
renovation. These guidelines can help authorities at multiple levels with the practical
implementation of bespoke strategies that consider regional needs and leave no one
behind.

If you are a policy maker at national, regional or local level, practitioner or scientist
interested in the renovation of buildings, join us for the technical workshop that
summarises the main outcomes of the pilot project. The objectives of the workshop are to:

• present evidence on technical feasibility and benefits emanating from integrated seismic and energy renovation
• provide information on the tools, guidelines and readily accessible resources to support the planning and implementation of renovation projects which reduce at the same time the vulnerability and energy inefficiency of buildings
• stimulate the use of these integrated solutions
• create awareness about the topic in the aim of risk prevention
• bring about understanding of the renovation challenges and offer further scientific evidence for more-informed decision making
• encourage the sharing of knowledge, experience and ideas among authorities, practitioners, scientists, and policy-makers through animating new networks.
