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 review of seismic upgrading techniques for reinforced concrete, masonry and steel buildings, which constitute the majority of the building stock in the EU.
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.
Recent scientific developments highlight better cost-effectiveness, safety and efficiency can be achieved when taking an integrated approach. This report presents relevant materials and technologies developed and presented in the scientific literature.
