The energy transition towards a more sustainable built environment underlines the urgent need to embrace renewable energy resources (RES), such as solar systems implementation.

This paper investigates strategies to enhance social acceptance of solar energy solutions in historical building (HB), by using current methods and technologies to address these challenges and to visualize information collected through Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) and considering a case study neighborhood Møllenberg, a historic neighborhood in Trondheim, Norway.

摘要

The energy transition towards a more sustainable built environment underlines the urgent need to embrace renewable energy resources (RES), such as solar systems implementation. However, when this shift is directed towards interventions in historic city centers and/or on historic buildings, it presents unique challenges, where the imperative to preserve cultural and architectural integrity often conflicts with the installation of modern solar solutions. In such a case integrating solar systems are a solution that presents challenges in managing the complexity of energy retrofits installations due to the heritage constraints from one side and the involvement of different private, public and individual stakeholders from the other side. This paper investigates strategies to enhance social acceptance of solar energy solutions in historical building (HB), by using current methods and technologies to address these challenges and to visualize information collected through Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) and considering a case study neighborhood Møllenberg, a historic neighborhood in Trondheim, Norway. The research workflow incorporates the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) to ensure compatibility among various systems and actors involved in the decision-making process. A People-Public-Private-Partnership (PPPP) approach, enhanced by visual communication tools to actively involve stakeholders in the decision-making process. The overall outcome of this approach is to arrive soon to create a website and a web-based application to facilitate stakeholders’ engagement and involvement in such a process. At the preliminary stage this paper introduces a unique workflow integrating HBIM and EIF within PPPP approach as a foundation for emphasizing the role of visual communication in engaging stakeholders. This allows them to navigate the complexities of introducing solar energy systems in historical districts by underscoring the role of digital technologies and stakeholder engagement which can become a replicable framework for future initiatives aimed at enhancing the social acceptance of RES solutions in the historic built environments.
