Summary

Rehabilitating existing buildings is one of society’s duties and an opportunity for the development of the construction sector. The range of possible interventions is very wide, from the preservation of monuments and the thorough rehabilitation of old buildings, to the solution of problems in more recent buildings. The intervention in existing buildings, when done correctly, allows gains in terms of safety, durability, energy efficiency and comfort.

The Advanced Studies in Building Rehabilitation course (EARPE), offers a solid and multidisciplinary technological training, necessary for the correct intervention in existing buildings, and has a duration of one academic year. The diploma (non-degree) includes training in the area of construction, structures, materials, planning, geotechnics and architecture.
