“…The Germanic people were more dependent on milk and its derivatives, and they could, therefore, settle at higher altitudes [45]. This corresponds to what Roberti et al [51] observed, whereby a higher elevation denoted a larger proportion of wood in a farmhouse.…”

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.

“…Therefore, building performance in the built heritage context is tackled as: 1) Structural behaviour (representing 44% of the publications about built heritage) which includes seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings (e.g., (Ferreira, Mendes, & Silva, 2019;Fumo, Formisano, Sibilio, & Violano, 2018;Mongelli, Bellagamba, Iannone, & Bracco, 2018;Valluzzi, Calò, & Giacometti, 2020)), structural health monitoring (e.g., (Barsocchi et al, 2020;Marzouk, 2020;Papa & Taliercio, 2003;Roselli et al, 2018)), or mechanical properties of construction materials (e.g., (Costa, Arduin, Rocha, & Velosa, 2019;Freire, Veiga, Santos Silva, & Brito, 2019;Matias, Faria, & Torres, 2014;Sáez-Pérez, Durán-Suárez, & Brummer, 2018;Yokoyama et al, 2009)). 2) Hygrothermal and energy performance of buildings (representing a quarter of the publications on built heritage); integrates publications about bioclimatic strategies (e.g., (Balaguer, Mileto, Vegas López-Manzanares, & García-Soriano, 2019;Hanie, Nina, & Mohammad, 2011)), strategies for energy renovation (e.g., (Carranza, Lanzarote, Madrigal, & Francés, 2014;D'Aprile, Bicco, Gambardella, & Gambardella, 2012;Musso & Franco, 2014;Roberti, Exner, & Troi, 2018)), or hygrothermal performance of traditional building systems (e.g., (Biseniece et al, 2017;Hamard, Cazacliu, Razakamanantsoa, & Morel, 2016;Litti, Khoshdel, Audenaert, & Braet, 2015;Sahin, Coşkun, Arsan, & Gökçen Akkurt, 2017)).…”

Sustainable Conservation are the processes of change through which the components of the inherited ecosystem from the past retain their value for present and future generations. As such, the value assessment is critical to recognise the values of heritage, not only by its aesthetical and historical values, but also by its contribution to a more sustainable future. Despite recent policies and standards highlighting the role of heritage for sustainability and encouraging urban conservation, sustainable conservation is not yet the most common practice. The behavioural dimension is intrinsic to the decision-making process; however, studies analysing designers’ decision behaviours regarding sustainability in built heritage are seldom found in recent literature. This research aims to increase the understanding of the gap in the implementation of best practices of sustainable conservation of built heritage, and to achieve solutions for behavioural change. It applies methods from psychology to analyse designers’ decisions behaviours, by eliciting common beliefs, challenges, and opportunities in the implementation of conservation intentions towards heritage buildings. The results demonstrate that design decisions result from conscious and unconscious processes, some of them socially driven, while others result from individual attitudes. Targeting the primary belief in the study population on the (in)compatibility between sustainability and heritage conservation, a building passport for sustainable conservation was developed aiming at raising awareness in the value of built heritage to sustainability. The results of this research can support the redesign of heritage buildings and demonstrate the importance of considering behavioural factors in the development of future sustainable conservation policies and tools.

Going beyond Good Intentions for the Sustainable Conservation of Built Heritage: A Systematic Literature Review

This research addresses the performance gap between intentions towards a sustainable conservation of built heritage and its actual implementation. Socio-psychological models of human behaviour, such as the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), have been studying this dissonance between intention and behaviour, and allow to recognise latent critical factors. This paper provides a systematic literature review of research publications on the intersection of the topics of human behaviour, heritage, and sustainability. It aims to analyse how the TPB has been used in the field of sustainable conservation of built heritage. The studies are categorised according to the type of heritage, main actors targeted, aims, and methodology. A total of 140 publications were analysed. The results show a recent field of research. In the domain of built heritage conservation, behaviour is commonly addressed as a synonym of performance, targeting the building itself. Most publications relating socio-psychological constructs of behaviour and heritage sustainability can be found in the tourism and hospitality field, focusing on tourists’ and residents’ behaviours. The review shows that practitioners are still absent from the literature. However, research addressing other stakeholders shows that the theoretical framework can play an important role in the implementation of sustainable conservation practices in the built heritage.
