“…A typological analysis of dwellings built before 1914 was performed on the Walloon building stock with the objective of better understanding the constructive specificities of the built stock existing in Wallonia [75]. In fact, the renovation planning process must start by acquiring data and knowledge on the building to be renovated to guarantee the adequacy and quality of the selected energy improvement measures as well as the durability of the building.…”

To meet European carbon neutrality targets and comply with building energy performance regulations, renovating historic buildings is considered one of the most challenging tasks for the construction sector. On one hand, commonly employed renovation solutions are often more difficult to implement on these structures. On the other hand, renovation work must be carried out while preserving their heritage value and integrity. The European standard EN 16883 on conservation and energy renovation performance of cultural heritage was developed in 2017 with the aim of facilitating energy performance improvements in historic buildings while respecting their cultural significance. In pursuit of the same objective, the “P-Renewal” project focuses on the energy retrofit of pre-war Walloon housing with heritage value, providing valuable support through a reflective process and decision-making tools. These tools enable the selection of renovation strategies that effectively combine the preservation of heritage value with improvements in internal comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. This study compares the reflective process of the research project with the guidelines of the standard EN 16883 and discusses the transferability of this contribution to other European contexts. This will significantly contribute to the evolution of energy performance standards for the renovation of historic buildings.

This handbook follows the systematic approach outlined by the European standard EN 16883:2017 Guidelines for improving the energy performance of historic buildings. It describes how the standard can be applied in practice with chapters on heritage value assessment, building survey and holistic assessment of energy efficiency measures. The book draws on the experience from a team of international leading experts in the field of energy efficiency in historic building.

“…In Flanders, the project ErfgoedEnergieLoket (de Bouw et al, 2014) assists the architects specialized in architectural heritage regarding energy and comfort aspects. In Wallonia, the research project P-Renewal (Stiernon et al, 2017) aims to develop strategies for the sustainable retrofit of historical Walloon dwellings with heritage value and built before 1914. Within this latter project, whole-building dynamic energy models are used as flexible and exploratory tools to evaluate the relevance of different energy-related interventions.…”

“…Within the P-Renewal project, five buildings from pre-1914 were studied, each of them being representative of one major type of dwellings in Wallonia (Stiernon et al, 2017). It was necessary to obtain a holistic picture of each one of them, in terms of their environment, composition, condition, occupancy and performance, while keeping the cost of tests to a minimum.…”

The sustainable energy renovation of historical buildings is a challenge for all European countries. It is crucial for their conservation as well as for urban and rural development. Nonetheless, proposing adequate interventions requires appropriate investigation efforts. This paper presents a specific approach for performing the energy diagnosis of occupied historical buildings, developed under the constraints of several ongoing research projects. It is shown how photogrammetry and wireless sensor networks can be combined to produce rich datasets, while keeping disturbances for occupants at a minimum. Within this multi-disciplinary investigation program, the focus is also put on the production of input and validation data for implementing dynamic energy simulations. A case study is presented to illustrate the deployment of the proposed methodology. Only two site visits allowed to capture a large quantity of descriptive and performance information, which was valorized through clear protocols for sampling and formatting the data.
