Abstract

The Portuguese housing sector experienced a significant growth throughout the 20thcentury, particularly in the last quarter, after the democratic revolution in 1974. In fact, thenumber of buildings built between 1970 and 1990 is more than one third of the buildings actuallyexisting in Portugal. Therefore most of them were built before the publication of the firstregulation concerning the energy efficiency in buildings. Regarding this scenario, it would beexpected that rehabilitation activities would represent most of the current constructionactivities. However, given some remaining barriers from old social policies, this situation is notobserved; actually building retrofitting is the least significant sector, accentuating thedegradation level of major part of the Portuguese housing stock. Several studies show that themain problems are found in the building’s envelope elements, such as roofs and façades. Basedon this context, the aim of this paper is to introduce some examples of building retrofittingsystems that, adapted to the Portuguese main needs and requirements may representsustainable solutions to overcome the identified needs of Portuguese buildings’ envelope.
