Climate Change Risk Assessment for the Heritage Buildings

About This Course

BECK - Integrating education with consumer behaviour relevant to energy efficiency and climate change at the Universities of Russia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

BECK is a project co-funding by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union which aims to improve the quality of education on the issues of energy efficiency and climate change in a circular economy perspective. By acting on human resources, it focuses on strategies for the environmental protection, including through actions for the preservation of heritage buildings. Since acting on new buildings only is not sufficient to achieve the environmental targets, the heritage buildings preservation is also needed to reach this goal, in addition to the social and cultural needs it meets. In this regard, the aims of this MOOC about “Climate Change Risk Assessment for the Heritage Buildings” are to fill technical capacity gaps in energy efficiency improvement and climate change effects mitigation, to stimulate cultural sensitivity for heritage protection, and to integrate the historical buildings conservation strategies according to the most recent international guidelines.
The MOOC weeks address the issues of preservation and energy efficiency, as well as the aspect of the management of interventions of energy saving in cultural heritage.

This MOOC is structured in three WEEKS, in addition to a WEEK 0 course introduction. Each WEEK has modules and lessons consisting of texts, videos, quizzes.

  • WEEK 1 - Preservation and energy efficiency: the reference framework.
  • WEEK 2 - From theory to practice.
  • WEEK 3 - The management of interventions of energy saving in cultural heritage.
