“…Once again this research confirms the conclusion made by Todorovic et al [3] that the dominant characteristic of heritage buildings is bioclimatic design, carefully planned architectural structure and appropriate choice of construction materials, whose endurance and durability performances are tested and measured by the hundreds of years, reflecting their sustainability.…”

“…The construction of buildings used to be carried out in accordance with bioclimatic design-specific resilience of architectural structures, the durability of local construction materials, the abundance of greenery and free land space around the buildings. After hundreds of thousands of years, the environmental endurance and durability of these construction materials testified on their sustainability [3,4].…”

This study deals with the integrated process of conservation and restoration of architectural heritage and sustainability. The objective of the research was to define adequate methodologies for the structural restoration of historic buildings, their re-use, and sustainable refurbishment in accordance with modern requirements and conservation standards while maintaining the original visual character by using natural stone as an authentic building material. The main research method was the in-situ observation of the historic structures during the restoration and adaptive re-use, the analysis, and evaluation of the research findings regarding energy efficiency improvements and energy saving in the Haybarn complex within the monastery Hilandar, Mount Athos, Greece. Due to its cultural and natural values, Mount Athos has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The research included the damaged and abandoned agricultural structures that belong to the Haybarn complex and the analysis of the obtained results after the restoration had finished and the abandoned premises had been turned into guest rooms for the visitors of Hilandar monastery. The result section states the findings of the research arranged as recommendations for historic building restoration and re-use, emphasizing their new function in accordance with modern comfort requirements and environmental protection standards. The main contribution of this study is the analysis of the research findings and the possibilities of energy refurbishment of the restored historic buildings, through the use of natural stone as authentic local construction material, in accordance with energy efficiency measures and principles, conservation requirements and cultural heritage conservation standards.

“…However, the majority of existing buildings in used are old, not airtight and not energy efficient, and in order to substantially reduce energy demand, there is also a need to focus effort on refurbishment and upgrading of these buildings, including various tools for evaluating refurbishment options. 43–55 For upgrading of existing buildings, there would be challenging demands within economic and technical feasibility to improve building envelope and to improve heating, ventilating and cooling operations in these buildings. 56–59 Refurbishment of windows is of also a priority consideration to minimize heat loss.…”

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of developments in Korea in relation to its energy consumption and sustainable development policies and progress in achieving its energy targets as given by the Building Energy Codes. Building insulation and passive building technologies are also reviewed for achieving passive house standards by 2017 and zero-energy or near zero-energy buildings (nZEB) by 2025 in Korea, and to identify strategies to further reduce usage of primary energy and to achieve energy efficiency targets. A defining feature of a sustainable building is its ability to reduce significantly its environmental impacts and its embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions over its whole life, including use of natural resources and releases of pollutants, to promote reuse and recycling of materials and sustainable development of buildings whilst ensuring the building satisfy the indoor environmental quality requirements for occupants. Passive technologies include the use of natural ventilation, energy storage such as using phase change materials (PCM) and high thermal mass structure, high energy efficiency windows and lighting and maximizing daylighting and use of renewable energy technologies. Technologies for refurbishment of building envelopes, windows and ventilation systems are reviewed to improve and upgrade the energy efficiency of existing buildings as well as focusing on new builds. The various options for heating, ventilating, cooling and air-conditioning of buildings are also discussed. Green Buildings and Energy Efficiency Labels and Standards should have a pertinent role to affect energy efficiency measures in building developments.

“…The paradigm of sustainability regarding the heritage buildings, however, requires not only minimizing the waste generation and the use of resources, maintaining the identity of the place and community, but also energy savings and the appropriate living and working conditions for the users of heritage buildings. Reviewed studies (Bellia et al, 2015;Burattini et al, 2015;Todorovic, 2012;Todorovic et al, 2015 and many others) had demonstrated that it is possible to improve the energy performance of an existing building achieving a significant energy saving with the respect of the building architecture, shape, function and the surrounding landscape (Burattini et al, 2015). It is possible to presume that some historic buildings are inherently sustainable including the users comfort as well; taking into account the original climatic adaptations of historic buildings, contemporary sustainable technologies can supplement their inherent sustainable features (Todorovic, 2012).…”

This study is aimed at analysing the possibilities of contemporary use and re-functioning of Kaunas inter-war modernism buildings from the users' comfort point of view. For the study, we have selected the building of the House of Commerce, Industry and Crafts designed in 1937-1939 by the well-known architect of this period V. Landsbergis-Zemkalnis that was continuously used and re-used for the administrative, office, and library purposes through its entire existence. In the frame of this research the analysis of literature, including the peculiarities of heritage building re-functioning from the users' comfort point of view and the historical context of the case study building, and the field study including the photographical survey and the measurements of thermal conditions during warm (August) and cold (March-April, with central heating) seasons were carried out. The research on site has shown the favourable conditions for the users according to the contemporary standards; however, the deterioration of some building's structures threaten its heritage values and the use possibilities in the future. It can be concluded that the prestige generated by the heritage values and social significance of Kaunas interwar modernism architecture together with the appropriate thermal conditions for the users encourage sustainable renovation and re-functioning of such buildings for the needs of contemporary society.
