BUILT hERITAGE, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY INTEGRATED TOOLS

for the sustainable management of Historic Built Areas

The preservation of built heritage needs a model that is environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.

The BhENEFIT project focused on improving the management of historic built areas, combining the daily maintenance of historic heritage with its preservation and valorisation in a sustainable way.
The project found innovative solutions on how to evaluate the use and historical value of built areas and how to optimise building performances (its energy efficiency and structural behavioural increase).

The BhENEFIT methodology was validated by 12 partners in 7 different areas, which are related to specific issues (earthquake, pollution, touristic flows, energy efficiency etc.). New tools like action plans and ICT implementations were developed to increase the cooperation among stakeholdrs involved in sustainable management of Historic Built Areas, enhance their awareness and skills, increase availability of data and information, monitor and plan through effective tools.

WHAT ARE THE BhENEFITs ....?

The project delivered a long-term perspective for minimising emergency actions through a comprehensive monitoring strategy, which aims at the planned preservation of cultural heritage. To implement such strategy, BhENEFIT built management capacities, involved and coordinated relevant players from the public and private sectors and provided them with new innovative methodologies GIS and BIM based.
