SHARE.EAAD #21 Cláudio Meireis | The Habitable Envelope: Methodology for the characterization of RC building envelopes

In response to the climate emergency and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, it is important to reduce CO2 emissions and make buildings more sustainable and energy efficient. The development of a prefabricated wood- based system emerges as an innovative solution to optimize the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete buildings, contributing to a more resilient and eco-friendly built environment. The main goal of this system is to create a new exterior envelope that improves energy efficiency and structural safety, while incorporating new spaces and uses into the interior of the dwellings. Our focus is on post-1960s reinforced concrete (RC) structures, which represent the majority of the Portuguese building stock, with a particular emphasis on social housing.
