Deliverable D2.8 - Urban geo-dataset of potential e-SAFE target

This report presents a preliminary urban geo-dataset aimed at identifying buildings suitable for renovation using e-SAFE technologies, which are designed to enhance energy efficiency and seismic safety in non-historic buildings with Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. The e-SAFE project combines innovative materials and systems – such as customizable e-PANELs, cross-laminated timber panels (e-CLT), metal exoskeletons (e-EXOS) – and advanced thermal systems (e-THERM) to achieve market-ready deep renovation solutions that promote decarbonization and improve indoor comfort.

The report details:

1. Stakeholders’ Engagement Activities: Engaging local stakeholders through co-productive strategies, focusing on the public housing sector's challenges and opportunities.
2. Building Analysis Protocol: A two-stage assessment identifies buildings that can utilize e-SAFE technologies, evaluating structural characteristics and conditions. Approximately 30% of the selected public housing stock (253 out of 838 buildings) was identified as immediately suitable for deep renovation by applying e-SAFE.
3. Urban-scale Prioritization: Recognizing that many buildings requiring renovation are in distressed neighborhoods, the report emphasizes the need for integrated urban regeneration strategies that address socio-economic challenges while promoting deep renovations.
