The special features of this book are that it (a) presents the state-of-the-art in school building rehabilitation, (b) covers the IEQ assessment of several school buildings, including non-rehabilitated and rehabilitated according to different strategies; and (c) proposes a multi-objective optimization procedure. The rehabilitation of a school building should be regarded as a procedure combining a number of (sometimes conflicting) variables and objectives, including energy, IEQ and costs (initial, operational and maintenance), in the search for an “optimum solution.” The main benefit of the book is that it discusses the main topics related to school building rehabilitation, presents results of the IEQ assessment on 9 school buildings and launches a discussion on how the “in-use” performance of schools is key to understanding how designed performance is actually experienced. It maps the most commonly used multi-objective algorithms and artificial neural network architectures and proposes a methodology for combining these numerical tools with dynamic building simulations and lifecycle cost analysis to optimize school building enclosures. This methodology will be of value to scientists and engineers alike, while also addressing a variety of related disciplines, such as civil and mechanical engineering, architecture and mathematics.SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-530XEnergy efficiencyBuilding repairBuildings—Repair and reconstructionInterior architectureInteriorsEnergy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Building Repair and Maintenancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23055Interior Architecture and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K15007Energy efficiency.Building repair.Buildings—Repair and reconstruction.Interior architecture.Interiors.Energy Efficiency.Building Repair and Maintenance.Interior Architecture and Design.371.62Almeida Ricardo M.S.Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut956502de Freitas Vasco Peixotoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDelgado João M.P.Qauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299608303321School Buildings Rehabilitation2165792UNINA
