Integrated techniques for the seismic strengthening and energy efficiency of existing buildings: Pilot Project Workshop, 16–19 November 2020

cover
The report summarises the work prepared to date within the scope of the Pilot Project “Integrated techniques for the seismic strengthening and energy efficiency of existing buildings”, and presented during a Joint Research Centre (JRC) homonymous workshop that took place online on 16–19 November 2020. The objective of the midterm workshop was to improve stakeholder understanding on critical energy efficiency and seismic safety upgrades to ageing buildings, and to collect feedback on the Pilot Project. The workshop, spread along six different sessions, started with interventions from a Member of the European Parliament, a Member of the European Committee of the Regions, European Commission officers, and representatives from public authorities and a professional association. More than 30 technical presentations were delivered by JRC Pilot Project team members and external experts, complemented by discussions and polls that were organised throughout the workshop sessions. The report provides summaries of the presented work by action of the Pilot Project along with expected developments and issues that deserve further consideration. Topics include technologies for seismic, energy, and combined upgrading of existing buildings, methodologies to evaluate the effect of combined upgrading, regional prioritisation based on multiple indicators, implementing renovation measures, intervention scenarios, outreach activities as well as external activities and projects complementary to the Pilot Project objectives. Issues that attracted the attention of the workshop participants and relevant feedback received through interactive sessions and tools (e.g. discussions, polls, etc.) are further highlighted. The final part of the report is dedicated to the recently launched New European Bauhaus and feedback on the initiative received through relevant polls. Workshop participation statistics and satisfaction survey results indicate a positive reception of this first wide dissemination effort of the Pilot Project objectives and output from a diverse audience of stakeholders.
