Survey to architects: challenges to inspection and diagnosis in historical residential buildings

Abstract

Using a web query among architects (n=57), we could identify the main obstacles found in the application of inspection and diagnosis procedures in historical residential buildings.  The results revealed that these procedures are not yet uniformly applied in this built heritage and pointed out the need to develop simplified methodologies and less resource-consuming methodologies, to ensure their applicability.The authors would like to acknowledge the support granted by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), in the scope of the Doctoral Program Eco-Construction and Rehabilitation (EcoCoRe), to the PhD scholarship with the reference PD/BD/127853/2016 that was fundamental for the development of this study.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
