Prioritization of historic buildings based on their values

Abstract:

Iran is located in a high-risk seismic zone of earthquakes. It has thousands of valuable historic buildings, mostly made of unreinforced masonry, which is quite vulnerable to natural hazards, especially earthquakes. The conservation and seismic upgrading of these buildings is vital for their survival. However, resources are limited and some sort of prioritization is needed in order to allocate the budget. There are several factors, which should be considered when ranking heritage buildings, but this paper mainly focuses on the values of historic buildings and describes a survey undertaken to find out whether it is possible to rank them. The method applied is choosing a particular group of people and determine whether they can classify buildings into a hierarchy? The results showed that most people could perform this task, so some sort of hierarchy exists, although different groups might choose different hierarchies.

Halophilic microorganisms in deteriorated historic buildings: insights into their characteristics.

Historic buildings are constantly being exposed to numerous climatic changes such as damp and rainwater. Water migration into and out of the material's pores can lead to salt precipitation and the so-called efflorescence. The structure of the material may be seriously threatened by salt crystallization. A huge pressure is produced when salt hydrates occupy larger spaces, which leads at the end ...

Energy efficiency in historic buildings

The particularity of cultural heritage and its interaction with the theme of energy efficiency has often been analysed either for the purposes of integrating climate control systems in listed buildings, which can be quite a complicated problem [ASHRAE, 2003] [CIBSE, 2002], or in the framework of the conservation of cultural heritage, using approaches which at times can be overly sectoral – [Tet...

Remarks on the green retrofitting of historic buildings in Italy

Latest European Union programs related to energy efficiency underline the need for retrofitting existing buildings, which are responsible for 40% of EU final energy consumption. Although new buildings can be constructed with high performance levels, the majority of the building stock, characterized by a low energy performance, still needs renovation. Thanks to its potential to deliver high ener...

Deposition of Airborne Organic Pollutants on Historic Buildings

-The black crusts coating the surfaces of building materials located in urban (polluted) environments contain all kinds of organic compounds present in aerosols and particulate matter. Wet and dry deposition processes combined with gypsum crystal growth result in dirty, grey-to-black crust formation, in which aerosols, spores, pollen, dust and every class of particulate matter are entrapped in ...
