Abstract(s)

The rehabilitation of building, specially heritage buildings, is an important aspect in the safeguard and upgrading of local environment. However, the contribution of this segment to the local construction market in Portugalis not significant when compared to the other countries of the European Union. A casestudy consisting of 57 heritage projects submitted to a government department responsible for the approval and listing of these buildings allows to identify the different technological aspects of intervention in heritage buildings, namely on masonry walls. The results presented in this papel shows taht the tecnologies used in heritage buildings are frequently similar to those adopted in new buildings, which seems to be inconsistent with conservation technique that safeguards the built heritage.
