Building renovation is a multidimensional problem. Different priority and impact metrics should be employed depending on the sector (seismic safety, energy efficiency, socioeconomic vulnerability) and the geographical focus. Metrics should further rely on the aim of renovation plans to accomplish the highest impact on a single sector or most spread impact across multiple ones.
The pilot project collects policy measures for enhancing the seismic and energy performance of buildings across EU Member States. The measures are reviewed to understand gaps and best practices which may facilitate further implementation.
The pilot project provides a framework methodology to prioritise regions for building renovation across the EU-27, along with a set of open access data, ranking indicators and impact metrics. The framework employs harmonised data, state-of-the-art methodologies and models to assess seismic risk, energy performance of buildings, and socioeconomic vulnerability.
The integrated analysis framework is further developed to formulate alternative renovation scenarios, and perform regional impact assessments and cost–benefit analysis, considering the renovated building stock across the EU-27.
