When you work on site, understand how to practice rehabilitation of a façade, of the roof, of the vertical and horizontal partitions or openings It can be quite a professional challenge in the architecture .
The complexity in the solution of some elements and unions construction in the thermal envelope of buildings many sometimes represents a major headache for the professional in the architecture sector, and, without knowing – in some cases – if that proposed solution is really the most correct or has been executed properly.
Let us remember that pathologies on site or even in a practiced rehabilitation are well known by almost all the professionals and the most common ones, we can intuit them in the following scheme:
Know those technical aspects that will lead us to a correct construction execution is not always so easy, and, more, when we talk about solving problems in rehabilitation (An interesting article on how to assess and review damage to houses and structures by earthquakes).

The aging of residential buildings has three noteworthy origins: the deficient construction quality, the lack of minimum benefits such as a adequate thermal and acoustic insulation, and some deficiencies in the maintenance of the same.
Consequently, when a rehabilitation of a building we should meet three objectives:
Addressing the intervention of a building of an objective and judicious manner in the field of rehab is hard. Most regulations, guides, tools or manuals focus on new work and find technical documentation with clear procedures for rehabilitating a constructive element is a difficulty palpable (We checked it in the article on how to rehabilitate covers where we already had a hard time finding the 10 technical books that we contribute).
It is evident that in one article it is impossible to explain all the technical aspects necessary to rehabilitate a work of facade, for example. But today we have the solution!
We refer to the book Constructive Solutions in Rehabilitation created by the Valencian Institute of Building (IVE) that have just been opened for download for free.
A rehabilitation book has 700 pages techniques and we can download completely legally and in a free in PDF format (the paper book costs 150 € today)... And what's in the book?
The document is divided into two large blocks, and, in both, the study of the rehabilitation of the covers, horizontal interior partitions and floors, facades vertical interior partitions and party walls :
This first section focuses on the division and characteristics of the materials in the interventions that are performed on the roofs, facades, openings or interior partitions. The amount of information an identifier code has been applied that is explained at the beginning of the block.
To give examples of the information indicated, first we add a summary and classification of insulating materials recommended for roof interventions:
Another outline-summary that we can extract and that is clearly identify the types of improvement in facades It is the following image (it is only part of the scheme)
Although in the first block the summary tables of materials according to the situation in the building and work are very good. This block has some files that are translated in more than 100 constructive solutions for rehabilitation very details (See recommended article for detailed construction for bioclimatic houses).
The tiles that comprise all parts of the building with roof details, all kinds of facades, partitions interior and vertical and horizontal partitions. Are schematized in a very detailed way to make it easy to use in the rehabilitation of the construction (on page 327 explains the structure of the chips) and we can see the following example:
The amount of information provided by each tab about a constructive detailed solution is impressive and will be a great contribution of value to our reference library.
The document has 700 pages and we will be able to download it in PDF (they are 56 megabytes). To download the free book we must access from HERE which is the website of the Institute Valencian Department of Building (IVE).
We must select "Downloadable PDF" so that the document comes out for free and add it to the "shopping cart". Afterwards, we carry out the purchase process where we will have to register on the web and, once registered, it will appear a tab to download the book in PDF:
Remember that the document is quite heavy, it will take a while to download if we have a slow internet connection. For the In addition, the document has very good technical quality and can be a nice query plugin to improve our library of rehabilitation.
Also, if more information, books or documents are required technicians, you can consult the article on how to find free PDF books on construction or architecture of a easy way.
