Abstract A life cycle framework for a new integrated classification system buildings and the identification of renovation strategies that lead to an optimal balance between reduction seismic vulnerability increase energy efficiency, considering both economic losses environmental impacts, is discussed through parametric application exemplificative case-study building. Such accounts contributions initial construction, operational consumption, earthquake-induced damage repair activities,...
Given the current climate emergency and ambitious targets of carbon emissions reduction worldwide, retrofitting strategies on existing buildings are typically aimed at reducing their energy demand, decarbonizing power supply, addressing embodied stored in construction materials. However, contribution potential earthquake-induced impacts has been traditionally not considered, while consequences several past events highlighted relevant impact environment due to post-disaster rehabilitation...
Abstract The sustainable renovation of existing buildings is currently at the top agenda European Union. Sustainability typically defined as result interaction environmental, economic, and social aspects, it now considered a major target objective in all sectors our economy, including construction one. concept has changed significantly over time, leading to current interpretation that considers need simultaneously improve safety resilience against natural hazards minimise energy resource...
It is well-known that the existing building stock responsible for non-renewable resource depletion, energy and material consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Life cycle analysis (LCA) procedures have thus been developed, in recent years, to assess environmental impact of construction operational phases through entire life cycle. Furthermore, economic, environmental, social consequences natural disasters encouraged additional integration hazard-induced impacts into common LCA...
Given the ambitious targets of carbon emission reduction set for very near future, it is now expected that retrofitting operations on existing buildings aim both at reducing their operational energy consumption and improving seismic performance. Indeed, well acknowledged that, if a sole efficiency upgrade provided to given building, in case an earthquake occurrence, double economic environmental losses will be experienced due lost investment repair activities post-earthquake damage....
We know more about earthquake processes, vulnerability modelling and characterization of the built environment than ever before. Yet, losses casualties continue to increase, even in countries where modern seismic design regulations have been introduced decades ago. In this study we investigate drivers damage using global hazard risk model developed by Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation its partners, as well data from fatal earthquakes since 1950. isolate specific parameters that can...
Given the current climate emergency and ambitious targets of carbon emissions reduction, retrofitting strategies on existing buildings typically include reducing energy demand, decarbonising power supply, addressing embodied stored in materials. This latter point redefines role engineers transitions towards a sustainable construction sector, being they responsible for designing low impact, neutral solutions. A Life Cycle Structural Engineering (LCSE) approach, inspired by principles Thinking...
Construction is one of the most impactful industrial sector because high consequences it generates on society, environment and economy. The study presented herein aims to define a methodological framework that can be used for construction community stakeholders in order conduct environmental sustainability comparisons among building systems at design stage. An application methodology performed by comparing structures having different materials. Three alternative material options have been...
<title>Abstract</title> Environmental impact assessments in the construction sector often overlook significant effects of natural hazards, particular earthquakes. These destructive events pose severe sustainability challenges as they frequently require large-scale repairs and replacement for damaged buildings, demanding production use substantial quantities building materials. Here, we unveil environmental toll earthquakes Europe, presenting essential data on continent’s stock. We further...
