“…Some ancient villages still retain the original ecological production workshops, which are rare and well-preserved ancient villages in the world, and the study of ancient villages is representative to a certain extent. This paper takes the adaptability factors of Shaanxi cave dwellings and the ecological environment as the point of convergence and reflects the importance of traditional dwelling protection by studying the influence and role of climate environment, topography, hydrogeology, and other aspects on traditional dwellings in Hougou [ 19 ]. This article can not only enhance the public's attention to traditional dwellings but also contribute to the dissemination of the essence of Chinese traditional culture, and then extract useful experiences that can be learned from the construction of contemporary villages and towns.…”

Traditional historical buildings carry the culture and spirit of China for thousands of years and have a unique charm that modern buildings do not have. However, traditional historical buildings have gradually declined over time, and their restoration not only takes time and materials but also causes certain harm to the environment. Therefore, this paper has aimed to explore how traditional historical buildings can develop in a sustainable and ecologically adaptive image in modern times. For traditional historical buildings, this paper has taken traditional cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi as an example to analyze their ecological adaptability, and based on the analysis results, traditional cave dwellings have been transformed. Specifically, this paper has taken the comfort of residential houses as the evaluation standard and has selected the thermal stability of the building and the energy consumption of heat supply as indicators to compare and analyze the traditional cave dwellings and the renovated cave dwellings. The experimental results of this paper have found that the traditional historical buildings are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients for thousands of years. However, due to the limitation of technology, the lighting and thermal stability of traditional cave dwellings are not high. After scientific design, the lighting and thermal stability of the transformed cave are 100% and 30% higher than those of the traditional cave, respectively, and the heating energy consumption is reduced by 50%.

“…The results underline a huge variety of approaches used in the field in recent years. The most common approach was the multi-criteria assessment method that was applied in buildings for both energy-efficiency improvement [46] and for interventions [35,44,47]. Decision-makers, using this assessment, have the ability to rank different interventions in order to select the most effective and appropriate actions.…”

“…The majority of the methods (60%, i.e., n = 29) (e.g., [44,47]) were applied to single (as a whole) buildings while the rest (40%, i.e., n = 19) to interventions at district level (e.g., [34,49]) (see Figure 6a). Regarding the occupancy of the building, about 33% focus on residential buildings (n = 16, e.g., [48,50]), 17% on religious buildings (n = 8, e.g., [45,51]), 10% on educational buildings (n = 5, e.g., [24,25]), 8% on museums (n = 4, e.g., [31,32,46]) etc. (see Figure 6b).…”

Nowadays, restoration interventions that aim for minimum environmental impact are conceived for recent buildings. Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced using criteria met within a life-cycle analysis, while energy saving is achieved with cost-effective retrofitting actions that secure higher benefits in terms of comfort. However, conservation, restoration and retrofitting interventions in historic buildings do not have the same objectives as in modern buildings. Additional requirements have to be followed, such as the use of materials compatible with the original and the preservation of authenticity to ensure historic, artistic, cultural and social values over time. The paper presents a systematic review-at the intersection between environmental sustainability and conservation-of the state of the art of current methodological approaches applied in the sustainable refurbishment of historic buildings. It identifies research gaps in the field and highlights the paradox seen in the Scandinavian countries that are models in applying environmentally sustainable policies but still poor in integrating preservation issues.

“…Thermal and hygrometric features such as construction materials are important for the preservation of heritage and the selection of retrofit solutions; therefore, they are generally used in categorization. In addition to that, the protection degree or other legislative requirements are included in some cases to present the historic significance or renovation limits of the buildings [27,28]. Construction period is selected because it reveals further information about building typology, construction materials, building equipment, etc.…”

Climate change imposes great challenges on the built heritage sector by increasing the risks of energy inefficiency, indoor overheating, and moisture-related damage to the envelope. Therefore, it is urgent to assess these risks and plan adaptation strategies for historic buildings. These activities must be based on a strong knowledge of the main building categories. Moreover, before adapting a historic building to future climate, it is necessary to understand how the past climate influenced its design, construction, and eventual categories. This knowledge will help when estimating the implication of climate change on historic buildings. This study aims at identifying building categories, which will be the basis for further risk assessment and adaptation plans, while at the same time analyzing the historical interaction between climate and human dwelling. The results show some correlations between building categories and climate. Therefore, it is necessary to use different archetypes to represent the typical buildings in different climate zones. Moreover, these correlations imply a need to investigate the capability of the climate-responsive features in future climate scenarios and to explore possible further risks and adaptation strategies.
