Abstract

Many studies are carried out in the rehabilitation of existing residential buildings, addressing the energy released during the pre-construction, construction, use and demolition stages of the building and circularity. Furthermore, in Türkiye, earthquakes are one of the primary influencers impacting the lifespan of buildings. However, a limited number of studies take a holistic approach, integrating both energy efficiency and earthquake resistance in existing residential buildings. To promote awareness on the subject, it is aimed to systematically examine the rehabilitation methods in reinforced concrete residential buildings. Seven studies were reviewed through literature analysis to investigate structural strengthening methods, energy efficient improvement techniques and their costs. The studies concluded that rehabilitation and strengthening were carried out in the structure and different building elements, and energy costs were reduced. Based on the data obtained, the steps to be followed in rehabilitating the residential buildings in this context were determined.
