“…The same is true for energy refurbishment of historical centres and buildings, for which an extension of CityGML was proposed (Egusquiza et al, 2018). For urban planning, some examples exist, mainly related to the representation of the city without a specific focus on historical aspects (e.g.…”

“…In addition, it is important to mention the research methods and tools made in the field of geographical and spatial information and modelling to manage and document cultural and architectural heritage. For example, extensions of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) CityGML standard were proposed (Noardo, 2018;Mohd et al, 2017;Egusquiza et al, 2018), as well as of the INSPIRE data model (Chiabrando et al, 2018;Fernández-Freire et al, 2013). Recently, the use of HBIM technology was proposed for boosting the interoperability in the management of preservation plans in cultural heritage: e.g.…”

Abstract. Architectural, built heritage and historical buildings embody cultural heritage value and - as known - they need to be studied, documented, persevered and represented. Although there are many fields involved in these activities, none of these considered individually can fully represent the heritage with a complete level of detail and information. The present work aims to investigate the different levels of detail and granularity among different communities involved in historical buildings tasks to semantically define different concepts. In this context, ontologies are considered as an effective solution for the formal conceptualization of the domains involved, providing a common language for knowledge sharing and reuse. The study starts from existing knowledge (standards, vocabularies, thesauri, classifications) and conceptualisations for regional, urban and architectural heritage and geographic information for various tasks (restoration, documentation and heritage studies, risk prevention, heritage asset and facility management, education and tourism, urban planning and energy refurbishment/performance). A specific use case involving historical buildings in fortified centres across different levels of detail is described to show how existing knowledge and standards conceptualisation need to be integrated and extended.

“…Cultural heritage has also been subject of CityGML extensions. The Cultural Heritage ADE is defined both by an UML and XSD, and it has been described in multiple publications [21][22][23]42]. Cultural heritage has been a subject of other unrelated ADEs defined by Costamagna and Spanò [43], Noardo [44], and the BCH (Built Cultural Heritage) Management ADE developed by Zalamea et al [45], indicating particular interest in this application of 3D city models.…”

The Application Domain Extension (ADE) is a built-in mechanism of CityGML to augment its data model with additional concepts required by particular use cases. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the ADE mechanism and a literature review of developments since its introduction a decade ago. The discovery of publications found that currently there are 44 ADEs supporting a wide range of applications, but also application-agnostic purposes such as harmonisation with national geographic information standards. We hope this paper to double as a reference material for the developers of new ADEs.

“…The review of recent literature emphasizes that the lack of a specific protocol on the energy efficiency of historical buildings at an individual building level comes to the fore, as well as this lack being even more noticeable for urban scale approach [23]. Nevertheless, research on the energy efficiency of historic urban stock affirms that a certain number of publications have accelerated after 2010 in the European Countries.…”

“…They identify buildings as representative or archetype cases which characterize a specific building group to evaluate the outcomes on these cases by extrapolating to wider scale. The reason is to speed up the decision-making process in determining retrofit solutions and provide a higher level of energy-efficient improvements [23,24,[27][28][29][30]34]. Several studies also present overall methodologies on deciding and evaluating the effects of energy-efficient retrofit solutions while avoiding the potential risks for historic building stock [23,31,32,35].…”

Energy-efficient retrofitting of historic housing stock requires methodical approach, in-depth analysis and case-specific regulatory system, yet only limited efforts have been realized. In large scale rehabilitation projects, it is essential to develop a retrofit strategy on how to decide energy-efficient solutions for buildings providing the most energy saving in a short time. This paper presents a pilot study conducted at a neighborhood scale, consisting of 22 pre-, early-republican and contemporary residential buildings in a historic urban fabric in the Mediterranean climate. This study aims to develop an integrated approach to describe case-specific solutions for larger scale historic urban fabric. It covers the building performance simulation (BPS) model and numerical analysis to determine the most related design parameters affecting annual energy consumption. All the case buildings were classified into three main groups to propose appropriate retrofit solutions in different impact categories. Retrofit solutions were gathered into two retrofit packages, Package 1 and 2, and separately, three individual operational solutions were determined, considering a five-levelled assessment criteria of EN 16883:2017 Standard. Energy classes of case buildings were calculated based on National Building Energy Regulations. Changes in building classes were evaluated considering pre- and post-retrofit status of the buildings. For the integrated approach, the most related design parameters on annual energy consumption were specified through Pearson correlation analysis. The approach indicated that three buildings, representing each building group, can initially be retrofitted. For all buildings, while maximum energy saving was provided by Package 2 with 48.57%, minimum energy saving was obtained from Package 1 with 19.8%.
