Sustainability, Challenges and Opportunities to Optimize Building Performance - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

In the face of climate change and resource depletion, the construction industry faces the critical challenge of advancing sustainable solutions. Sustainability: Challenges and Opportunities to Optimize Building Performance offers an in-depth exploration of both the theoretical and practical dimensions of sustainable architecture and construction through 22 cutting-edge studies. It is organized into five thematic sections: (1) Foundational Concepts in Sustainable Building Design, (2) Advanced Applications and Modular Design Solutions, (3) Structural Innovations and Energy Efficiency, (4) Energy Optimization in Extreme Climates, and (5) Retrofit Strategies. This reprint systematically examines the challenges and opportunities in achieving optimal building performance.

From energy simulations and modular design to advanced material and energy-efficient retrofitting, this collection highlights global perspectives and innovative methodologies. Contributions from six continents demonstrate the universal relevance of these approaches. Key topics include reducing energy consumption, leveraging Building Information Modelling (BIM), enhancing disaster resilience, and fostering sustainable retrofits for housing.

By bridging theoretical insights with actionable strategies, this Reprint offers invaluable guidance for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to create resilient, efficient, and environmentally responsible built environments. It underscores the interconnectedness of sustainable practices, offering a holistic resource to advance the built environment toward net-zero goals.
