Negative impacts created by climate change – raise in temperatures, floods and fires are all a product of climate crisis. Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU and thus contribute harmfully to climate change. Historic buildings, including the heritage ones, also have a big impact on greenhouse gas emissions with their outdated heating and cooling systems, lack of proper thermal insulation, ventilation etc. that leads to higher energy consumption, often produced from non-renewable sources. In order to mitigate such a negative influence, it is necessary to renovate and modernize historic and cultural heritage buildings in order to increase their energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.
