It draws attention to several often-overlooked qualities of buildings that should be comprehensively integrated into the context of building renovation. The book presents an overview of the most important renovation approaches according to their scope, intensity, and priorities. Combining basic theoretical knowledge and the authors’ scientific research it emphasizes the importance of simultaneous consideration of energy efficiency and structural stability in building renovation processes. It simultaneously analyses the effects of various renovation steps related to the required level of energy efficiency, while it also proposes the options of building extension with timber-glass upgrade modules as the solution to a shortage of usable floor areas occurring in large cities. This book offers building designers and decision makers a tool for predicting energy savings in building renovation processes and provides useful guidelines for architects, city developers and students studying architecture and civil engineering. Additionally, it demonstrates how specific innovations, e.g., building extensions with timber-glass modules, can assist building industry companies in the planning and development of their future production. The main aim of the current book is to expose various approaches to the renovation of existing buildings and to combine practical experience with existing research, in order to disseminate knowledge and raise awareness on the importance of integrative and interdisciplinary solutions.Green Energy and Technology,1865-3529Sustainable architectureBuildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalEnergy efficiencyStructural materialsRegional planningUrban planningSustainable Architecture/Green Buildingshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/122000Building Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Energy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Landscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Sustainable architecture.Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Energy efficiency.Structural materials.Regional planning.Urban planning.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Building Construction and Design.Energy Efficiency.Structural Materials.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.720.47Žegarac Leskovar Vesnaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut867173Premrov Miroslavauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337595003321Integrative Approach to Comprehensive Building Renovations1935494UNINA
