Abstract

Restoration of landmarks hit by rising moisture is in conjunction with the concept of sustainability by a very current theme. This problem needs to be addressed from a global point of view. The article discusses individual remediation technologies (invasive and non-invasive), which were applied and long-term investigated on several historical buildings within Slovakia. It describes the costs of their implementation, efficiency rate and importance from the perspective of the preservation of the nation’s cultural heritage and from the perspective of sustainability and the possibility of using these objects. From the perspective of sustainability, it is also shown that some interventions helped with remediation of the moist structure. This step results in a positive impact on the surroundings and protection of persons located in the vicinity of these buildings. It also helps to sustainability in terms of an environmental point of view because the demolition of renewed buildings is not necessary. The Article conclusion notes the level of efficiency of individual technologies. It also provides recommendations that could also be applied to many other historic buildings.

Highlights

  • Sustainability can be considered as one of the most important aspects of our future.Under this term, it is possible to imagine a wide range of things

  • From this point of view, sustainability can be evaluated as very current. This contribution deals with the application of invasive and non-invasive remediation technologies to prevent buildings from moisture. These technologies were applied to various historical buildings within Slovakia and their anti-moisture efficiency was investigated for a long time

  • With increasing time and increasing destruction, many authors started to be more intensively engaged in research aimed at remediation of historical constructions and the impact of moisture to these structures [9,10,11]

Introduction

Sustainability can be considered as one of the most important aspects of our future. Under this term, it is possible to imagine a wide range of things. From this point of view, sustainability can be evaluated as very current This contribution deals with the application of invasive and non-invasive remediation technologies to prevent buildings from moisture. With increasing time and increasing destruction, many authors started to be more intensively engaged in research aimed at remediation of historical constructions and the impact of moisture to these structures [9,10,11]. Removal of moisture can be considered a key factor of monuments protection This step and sanitation interventions can be contributed to the extension of the durability and to sustainability of historical objects. From a technological point of view, it is assumed that direct methods should be more appropriate When applied correctly, they should provide functional insulation against rising humidity and extend the life of the construction. The suitability and the positive efficiency of the selection would mean a high degree of sustainability of historical constructions from a technical, environmental, and economic point of view
