We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.
Training and workshops; Topic: disaster risk reduction | energy demand | environmental impact; Integrated techniques for the seismic strengthening and energy efficiency of existing buildings.
Earthquakes threaten a large percentage of homes and public buildings across the EU. At the same time, inefficient energy consumption from these outdated buildings is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. A pilot project puts forward a holistic approach to improve simultaneously the seismic safety and energy efficiency of the European building stock.
Our sustainable approach will combine renovation efforts that reduce building vulnerability to protect lives and will update the energy efficiency of ageing structures to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and tackle energy poverty, while reducing the retrofit’s environmental impact.
The pilot project directly supports several European Commission priorities including the Green Deal’s call for renovating in an energy and resource efficient way. It provides technical background in support of the Renovation Wave initiative and an action plan to modernise the European building stock.
The workshop has the following objectives:
16 November 2020Opening sessionRegional impact assessment and contributions to an action plan
17 November 2020Overview and classification of technologies for seismic strengthening and energy upgrading of existing buildings
18 November 2020Analysis of technologies for combined upgrading of existing buildings
19 November 2020Methodologies for assessing the combined effect of upgradingClosing session
