In spite of this common ground, discussions on sustainability usually give insufficient attention to safety. In the last years the EU has made large investments to increase the energy efficiency of the existing building stock, paving the way for a low-carbon future; however, less effort has been made to enhance its seismic resilience. Therefore, the safety and, consequently, the sustainability of towns situated in earthquake-prone countries remain inadequate. In such countries, energy renovation actions should be combined with seismic retrofitting. However, a number of barriers considerably limit the real possibility of extensively undertaking combined retrofit actions, especially for multi-owner housing and high-rise buildings. These barriers are of different kinds: technical (e.g., unfeasibility and/or ineffectiveness of conventional retrofit solutions), financial (e.g., high renovation costs, insufficient incentives/subsidies), organizational (e.g., occupants? disruption and relocation, renovation consensus by condominium ownerships), and cultural/social (insufficient information and skills, lack of adequate policy measures for promoting renovation actions). This book aims to overcome these barriers and to bridge the gap between sustainability and safety, so to conserve both human and environmental resources. 610 $amultifunctional component 610 $aseismic reinforcement 610 $aEastern Sicily 610 $aurban planning 610 $aU-value 610 $apre-diagnostic process 610 $aoptimization 610 $asafety 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aAnnex 56 610 $agreen infrastructure 610 $aenergy retrofitting 610 $aapartment blocks 610 $aseismic vulnerability assessment 610 $aenergy performances 610 $acombined interventions 610 $adamage mechanisms 610 $asustainability 610 $acultural value 610 $arisk analysis 610 $aparametric design 610 $aseismic retrofit 610 $aenergy retrofit 610 $abuilding envelope 610 $ahigh-rise building 610 $atechnological design 610 $acost-effective 610 $aseismic improvement 610 $aenergy savings 610 $apolicy measures 610 $ahistorical masonry 610 $ahistoric urban fabric 610 $aseismic analysis 610 $ahistoric massive envelope 610 $amasonry building aggregates 610 $ainnovative product 610 $afaçade 610 $aexoskeleton 610 $aseismic retrofitting 610 $abuilding rehabilitation 610 $anearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) 610 $adry-assembly system 610 $aBIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) 610 $atranslucent panel 610 $aseismic renovation 610 $aenergy performance 610 $aarchitectural image 610 $aseismic and energy retrofit 610 $ahistorical building 610 $aecosystem services 610 $amechanical resistance 610 $asustainability and aesthetics 700 $aMargani$b Giuseppe$4auth$01305933 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346662203321 996 $aEnergy and Seismic Renovation Strategies for Sustainable Cities$93028034 997 $aUNINA
