Prioritising EU regions for building renovation : seismic risk, energy efficiency, socioeconomic vulnerability.
The work presented in this report aims to provide scientific support to building renovation policies in the EU by promoting a holistic point of view on the topic. As part of the pilot project 'Integrated techniques for the seismic strengthening and energy efficiency of existing buildings', priority regions for building renovation across the EU-27 are identified considering seismic risk, energy performance of buildings, and socioeconomic aspects. An integrated analysis framework is first presented along with the primary metrics adopted for regional assessment and prioritisation. Metrics address (i) loss of life, (ii) economic loss associated with cost of seismic repair, (iii) space heating energy consumption, (iv) economic loss associated with the cost of energy, and (v) socioeconomic indicators. The framework uses as a starting point a recently released seismic exposure model, extended to address both structural and energy attributes of the European building stock. A wealth of open-access state-of-the-art data and models related to seismic hazard, climatic, physical and social vulnerability, along with energy performance modelling in Europe are employed in support of probabilistic seismic risk assessment, data-driven machine learning approaches, and composite socioeconomic indicators. Initially, metrics are used to form indicators and prioritise regions based on seismic risk, energy performance and socioeconomic vulnerability, independently. Different modes/patterns of prioritisation are identified depending on the considered type and format (absolute/normalised) of indicators. Single and multi-sectoral indicators are subsequently introduced to capture the different patterns in an integrated way. The results presented in this report clearly indicate that prioritisation of building renovation is a multidimensional problem. Depending on priorities, different integrated indicators should be used to inform policies that accomplish the highest relative or most spread impact across different sectors. Overall, the work presented herein provides a set of data, indicators and rankings, which promote risk-informed and inclusive decision making in support of local, regional or European policies and initiatives for building renovation. The output of this work is used in a following report to define and assess the impact of regional renovation scenarios across the EU through cost-benefit analysis.
