The scientific publication 'Sustainability: Challenges and Opportunities to Optimise Building Performance' brings together 21 studies that, from a comprehensive perspective, explore the key strategies for enhancing building performance while minimising environmental impact. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and applied solutions, it offers a structured overview of the innovations required to transform the built environment into a more resilient, efficient, and low-carbon model.

Organised into five thematic pillars, ranging from foundational concepts to urban retrofit strategies, the volume outlines a clear roadmap towards energy optimisation and architectural sustainability. The work highlights the importance of modular approaches, technologies adapted to extreme climates, and energy efficiency solutions in urban housing, emphasising the need for coordinated action between design, technology, and public policy to meet Europe’s climate objectives.
