In the context of Europe\u2019s \u201cRenovation Wave\u201d strategy, and as a product of the nationally funded ZeroSkin+ project, the proposed renovation solution addresses the urgent need for sustainable building renovations to help mitigate climate change and meet European climate neutrality goals by 2050. Unlike traditional methods that often rely on non-eco-friendly materials without integrating seismic and thermal performances, the renovation solution leverages fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technology to introduce a dual-layered panel system. This system features a durable, UV-resistant PET-G thermoplastic outer layer and a cork interior to ensure additional thermal insulation. The integrated renovation solution shows a 42% improvement in seismic reinforcement\u2019s out-of-plane capacity and achieves U-values as low as 0.30 W\/m2\u00b7K, exceeding Portugal\u2019s thermal efficiency standards (0.35 to 0.50 W\/m2\u00b7K). The proposed renovation solution also embraces circular economy principles, emphasising waste reduction and recyclability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su16052166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,5]],"date-time":"2024-03-05T11:26:59Z","timestamp":1709638019000},"page":"2166","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Holistic Modular Solution for Energy and Seismic Renovation of Buildings Based on 3D-Printed Thermoplastic Materials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0147-7379","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucas","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, ISISE, ARISE, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9144-973X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Penazzato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, ISISE, ARISE, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8713-5957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel C.","family":"Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, ISISE, ARISE, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2713-6322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, ISISE, ARISE, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8547-3805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel V.","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, ISISE, ARISE, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8459-0199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo B.","family":"Louren\u00e7o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, ISISE, ARISE, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"European Energy Council (2022, February 07).
