EXISTING BUILDING STOCK: a sustainability issue • 1976 - 1977 - Legge 373/76 and D.M. 10/3/1977 ‘‘Norme per il contenimento del consumo energetico per usi termici negli edifici’’ • National guidelines for improving energy efficiency of new buildings • 1974 - Legge n. 64 del 2 Febbraio 1974 “Provvedimenti per le costruzioni con particolari prescrizioni per le zone sismiche” • Introduction of specific measures for seismic risk mitigation on new structures Approximately 55-60% of existing building stock wasconstructed without any design concern for energy efficiency, anti-seismic building specifications 2463
EXISTING BUILDING STOCK: a sustainability issue • High vulnerability of Italian existing buildings • 44% of the Italian surface is prone to seismic risk* • 36% of the population involved* • 5.5 million buildings: residential/non-residential, historic value* • Variety of climatic zones (energy demand) • Life cycle environmental impacts • Life cycle costs due to consumptions and seismic events “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN) *Source: CRESME - ANCE 2463

Integrated Life Cycle Design Approach • Italian Perspective • Incentives for energy efficiency measures • (e.g. ecobonus– 2018) reduce energy consumption • Incentives forstructural retrofit with innovative technologies • (e.g. sisma bonus - 2018) reduce expected economic losses STRUCTURAL – ENERGY INTERACTION • Expected Economic Loss Assessment • Cost-Optimal Energy Analyses 2463
Integrated Life Cycle Design Approach 1stSTEP: site characterization combined site-dependent input parameters • Energy Demand • Heating Degree Days (HDD) • Seismic Risk • 475-year (10% in 50-year) Peak Ground • Acceleration (PGA) CSSI = 0.31 Climatic-SeismicSeverity Index (CSSI) • Severe Climatic and Seisimic conditions • D, F Climatic zone • > 0.2 ag 2463
Integrated Life Cycle Design Approach 2ndSTEP: linking ERMS to the structural performance engineering demand parameters 3rdSTEP: evaluate Discounted Payback Time 4thSTEP: select optimized structural retrofit solutions 2463
ITEGRATED DESIGN: applications to case study Case Study • Existingresidential RC building • Old structural code, i.e. without any seismic provision • Low thermal resistance (U > 1.5 W/m2K) 1. Cost-optimal energy retrofit Influence of building location on total LC costs 2.

APPLICATION 1: structural interaction Cost- Optimal Solutions Effects on LCC approach 2463
APPLICATION 1: structural interaction Life Cycle Cost = LCC (as built) – LCC (energy retrofit + structural) • Milan: the final GCS changes from 197.05 k€ to 188.94 k€, and the DPB from 11 to 11.2 years • Norcia: the final GCS changes from 166.12 k€ to 54.98 k€, and the DPB from 12.1 to 20 years Shift For similar climatic conditions, the level of seismic risk highly affects the effectiveness of the investment 2463
APPLICATION 2: structural interaction – climatic zones Life Cycle Cost Discounted Payback Time shift Cost Effective Structural Retrofit strategies Use of RC shear wall-based RC jacketing-based strengthening solution 3) FRP – RC jacketing-based strengthening solution PGA capacity-demand safety level 2463

APPLICATION 2: structural interaction – climatic zones Life Cycle Cost Cost-effective Energy-Structural Retrofit • Locations where buildings are highly prone to seismic damage • Structural retrofit is able to restore an acceptable payback time 2463
CONCLUSION • Novel assessment framework in the context of sustainability evaluation of retrofit intervention on existing buildings • Integration of cost optimal energy analysis with building structural performance of existing buildings prone to seismic damage • Outcome: potential global cost saving estimated over the residual building lifetime, taking into account the expected annual loss related to the seismic induced damage • The potential economic benefit deriving from energy savings could be not sufficient to overcome the expected seismic economic losses in the cases of vulnerable existing buildings • Stimulating insights about energy retrofit which, in a wider sustainability perspective, should be combined with seismic retrofit measures in order to reduce the overall economic losses national policies and assessment methods (social, environmental and economic aspects) 2463
