Abstract: Rehabilitation of heritage buildings has become an issue of great importance around the world, particularly in the most developed societies. It is the result of the need to improve existing buildings for new conditions of use, and also of the recognition of the importance of conservation of the architectural heritage. Existing buildings are subjected to processes of degradation with time, which leads to a situation in which they became not able to fulfil the purpose for which they were built. Sometimes, there is also the need to improve the conditions offered by existing buildings or to adapt them to new functions.
The Guide has been prepared by an Editing Panel consisting of CIB W023 Commission members and invited experts in this field, convened by the Commission Coordinator, with contributions coming from other Commission members. Thanks are due to all of them.Thanks are also due to the Barry Haseltine, Honorary Commission member, for the revision
of the English language of the text.
