Historical Renovations using Green Principles, Timisoara  
Location : To be determined soon
From: Tuesday 22 October 2013, 08:30
To: Tuesday 22 October 2013, 17:00

The buildings sector represents 40% of the European Union’s total energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption in this area is therefore a priority under the ‘20-20-20’ objectives on energy efficiency. A great part of this housing stock is made ​​up of buildings of historical interest, where the need for energy efficiency and sustainable management is to be compared with the importance of protecting architectural and cultural heritage. An evolution of the ‘triple bottom line’ is required to include social equity and cultural issues, economic constraints and environmental quality.

Specific techniques, technologies, materials and a different approach may be useful to cope with this issue. It's important to define and use guidelines and effective tools to design, assess and properly manage renovation works on buildings of historical interest.
 
The workshop will provide an overview and case studies about:
 
• Definition and characteristics of a historic building
• The regulatory EU context on energy efficiency
• Main problems and opportunities in sustainable renovation of historic building
• National refurbishment policies for historic buildings in Europe
• European R&D projects on energy saving renovation of historic buildings
• Guidelines, toolkits for historic building renovations
• A new rating system for historic building sustainable refurbishment assessment   
 
Target audience are designers (architects, engineers), property owners, developers, investors, public administrators and policy makers, responsible for national heritage and historic buildings.
