“…For example, Chen et al (2017) apply not only the information of traditional real estate data, but also extra real-time market information from online crowdsourcing feedback, which makes the estimated result close to the market [107]. Based on different application scenarios, researchers also try to do the appraisal in the field of industrial property (wind farm programming) [108] and commercial leisure property (golf courses) [109]. Metzner and Kindt (2018) pay attention to the parameters of the model.…”

With the increasing volume and active transaction of real estate properties, mass appraisal has been widely adopted in many countries for different purposes, including assessment of property tax. In this paper, 104 papers are selected for the systematic literature review of mass appraisal models and methods from 2000 to 2018. The review focuses on the application trend and classification of mass appraisal and highlights a 3I-trend, namely AI-Based model, GIS-Based model and MIX-Based model. The characteristics of different mass appraisal models are analyzed and compared. Finally, the future trend of mass appraisal based on model perspective is defined as “mass appraisal 2.0”: mass appraisal is the appraisal procedure of model establishment, analysis and test of group of properties as of a given date, combined with artificial intelligence, geo-information systems, and mixed methods, to better model the real estate value of non-spatial and spatial data.

“…Similarly, the complexity of the environmental issue brings up practical and symbolic components [21][22][23] that monetary measurement can represent only partially [24][25][26]. Finally, as the energy retrofit programs are typically characterized by large expenses and scarcely irreversible installments and works, the correct and systematic economic assessment of these investments [27,28] supports both private and public decision making, [29][30][31][32], as well as the convergence of many axiological perspectives towards the unique ethical prospect of sustainability.…”

Life-Cycle Assessment and Monetary Measurements for the Carbon Footprint Reduction of Public Buildings

Energy consumption in public buildings increased drastically over the last decade. Significant policy actions towards the promotion of energy efficiency in the building sector have been developed involving sustainable low-CO2-emission technologies. This paper presents the results of an economic–environmental valuation of a standard energy retrofit project for a public building in a Mediterranean area, integrating a life-cycle assessment (LCA) into the traditional economic–financial evaluation pattern. The study results show that simple retrofit of sustainable low-CO2-emission strategies such as wooden double-glazed windows, organic external wall insulation systems, and green roofs can reduce energy needs for heating and cooling by 58.5% and 33.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the implementation of an LCA highlights that the use of sustainable materials reduces the building’s carbon footprint index by 54.1% after retrofit compared to standard materials, thus providing an additional increase in the socio-environmental–economic–financial results of 18%. Some proposals are made about the accounting of the replacement costs and the residual value as requested in the logic of life-cycle cost (that is the economic extension of the LCA), namely concerning the method to take into account the replacement costs and the residual value. The economic calculation highlights the fundamental role played by tax benefits supporting the building energy retrofit, also in temperate climate zones, thus allowing the creation of environmental benefits in addition to remarkable cost savings.

“…This study exposes the methodology and the findings of the vulnerability assessment of the building heritage in the old town of Brisighella, referring both to the building aggregates and to the architectural units; starting from these results, it proposes an integrated model of analysis [11], evaluation and project initiation [12][13][14][15][16], aimed at outlining a variety of strategies for programming interventions to reduce vulnerability and, therefore, to optimize the urban policy choices.…”

Seismic Vulnerability and Old Towns. A Cost-Based Programming Model

et al. 2019

Vulnerability is a big issue for small inland urban centres, which are exposed to the risk of depopulation. In the climate of the centre-northern part of Italy, and in the context of the recent concentration of a high number of earthquakes in that area, seismic vulnerability can become the determinant cause of the final abandonment of a small town. In some Italian regions, as well as in Emilia Romagna, municipalities are implementing seismic vulnerability reduction policies based on the Emergency Limit Condition, which has become a basic point of reference for ordinary land planning. This study proposes an approach to seismic vulnerability reduction based on valuation planning for implementation within the general planning framework of the Faentina Union, a group of five small towns located in the southwestern part of the Province of Ravenna, Italy. This approach consists of three main stages: knowledge—the typological, constructive, and technological descriptions of the buildings, specifically concerning their degree of vulnerability; interpretation—analysis with the aim of outlining a range of hypotheses with respect to damage in case of a prospective earthquake; and planning—the identification of the courses of action intended to meaningfully reduce the vulnerability of buildings. This stage includes a cost modelling tool aimed at defining the trade-off between the extension and the intensity of the vulnerability reduction works, given the budget.
