Preface

Rehabilitation is a strategic area that is concerned not only with the monumental heritage and historic buildings, but also with other buildings that have been in use for sometime and need to be adapted to the demands of the present. The following areas should also be considered: rehabilitation of the constructed heritage, hygrothermal performance of buildings and constructions, diagnostic and design methodologies, energy efficiency, effects of climate change, restoration of public spaces, rehabilitation technologies and analysis of case studies. The main purpose of this book, Case Studies of Building Pathology in Cultural Heritage, is to provide a collection of recent research works, case studies of building pathology, to contribute to the systematization and dissemination of knowledge related to construction pathology, hygrothermal behaviour of buildings, durability and diagnostic techniques and, simultaneously, to show the most recent advances in this domain. It includes a set of new developments in the field of building pathology and rehabilitation, bri
