Energy retrofits have the potential to reduce building energy consumption and carbon
emissions, but face particular challenges when implemented in historic and traditionally …

The energy performance of heritage buildings is attracting growing interest in research and
practice. Accordingly, as shown by our literature review, increasing numbers of articles on …

The current climate change emergency has triggered a global strive for reducing carbon
emissions and relevant sustainable planning for low-carbon cities. The adaptive reuse of …

Limiting global warming to 1.5° C requires a substantial decrease in the average carbon
intensity of buildings, which implies a need for decision-support systems to enable large …

Purpose There is a resurgence in the adaptive reuse of buildings. However, there is a lack of
literature that pulls all the strands of adaptive reuse together. Furthermore, despite claims …

Purpose This study aims to compare and evaluate the application of commonly used
machine learning (ML) algorithms used to develop models for assessing energy efficiency of …

The ambitious targets of peaking CO2 emissions before 2030 and reaching carbon
neutrality before 2060 (Goal 3060) have emerged as the driving force in the development of …

The paper reports the results of a phase of the research Project “Urban Eco-efficiency,”
developed by the Architecture Department at the University of Naples Federico II, in …

An increase in energy demand in buildings continues to give rise to air pollution with a
consequent impact on human health. To curb this trend, energy efficiency assessment plays …

The recovery and enhancement of historic buildings require interventions aimed also at the
energetic requalification. Indeed, on one side there is a growing attention to the reuse of …
