Abstract

The chapter 'Simulating Energy Renovation Towards Climate Neutrality' explores the urgent need for energy-efficient renovations in buildings to mitigate climate change. It delves into the European Union's Renovation Wave initiative and the digital transformation of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. The authors present tailored digital workflows for Portugal and Sweden, highlighting the importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in evaluating a building's environmental impact. The workflows are designed to be flexible and adaptable, accommodating various building types and local challenges. The chapter also discusses the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies and the potential of machine learning to optimize renovation processes. By showcasing practical applications and future research directions, the chapter offers valuable insights into achieving climate neutrality through comprehensive building renovation strategies.
