AB  - A proper systematic approach to the restoration of historic buildings is crucial in the
preservation of heritage buildings. This paper presents the unity between the restoration of a
historic building and sustainability. The aim of the research is to establish an effective method for
the restoration of historic buildings and their reuse and sustainable renovation in terms of energy
efficiency, in accordance with modern needs and conservation requirements while maintaining the
authentic appearance. The main method in the paper is the observation of a historic building during
its restoration and exploitation, analysis and evaluation of the results achieved in improving energy
efficiency and energy saving in the example of the building within the Žica Monastery in Serbia, a
cultural monument of exceptional importance. The subject of the research is the Dining Room within
the Žiˇca Monastery and the analysis of the restoration results in order to ensure energy refurbishment
and cultural heritage enhancement. The research findings are recommendations for the restoration
and adaptive re-use of historic buildings, in accordance with modern requirements for comfort and
environmental protection. The greatest contribution of this paper is the practical verification of energy
refurbishment of the restored historic building, the Dining Room, by applying the principles and
measures of energy efficiency, maintaining the authentic appearance of the building, in accordance
with the conservation requirements.

AB  - The residential sector in Republic of North Macedonia, situated in south-east Europe, is responsible for the consumption of significant amounts of resources and for the production of large amount of emissions and waste. The increased application of wood products can substantially improve these conditions and contribute towards increasing the sustainability in the construction industry and the creation of sustainable homes. The contribution of this paper is the simulation of four different alternatives of residential buildings in the Republic of North Macedonia, evaluated in terms of energy performance and life -cycle assessment for the "cradle to gate" phase. The results of this study revealed that by replacing conventional concrete and masonry constructions with wooden constructions in low-rise family houses, the carbon emissions can be reduced up to 145%. The contribution of this paper is the simulation and analysis of the energy performance by using building performance simulation tools and life -cycle assessment of a residential building and its optimization through several models. The results give significant insight on the influence that the different construction materials have on the environment and buildings performance. Also, the research enables stimulation of the construction industry in utilizing wooden structures and delivering legislation that could increase their use. These actions would provide means for the development of sustainable buildings, neighborhoods and sustainable development of the Republic of North Macedonia.

AB  - Dominant share of the residential stock in the European countries has an exploited service life and is in a need for façade refurbishment. This paper contributes with an establishment of a tool for assessment of the sustainability of design options for buildings` façade refurbishment. The tool is based on a multicriteria system, assessing four design criteria, relevant to the process of façade refurbishment. The criteria are evaluated by several surveyed participants by utilizing the Analytic-Hierarchic Process (AHP).The tool is applied on several façade refurbishment design proposals assessment on a case-study of a residential building situated in Skopje, Western Balkans, Europe. Each of the façade proposals is assessed regarding their energy performance, CO2 emissions, investment costs and return of investment. Further, the results of the LCA analysis of the applied materials shows the contribution of each of them to the overall sustainability performance. The results of this research show that the use of wood and modified wood products as façade elements used for buildings` façade refurbishment can substantially decrease the greenhouse emissions and contribute to the carbon offset. However, due to the higher investment costs, the return of the investment is longer, leading to lower sustainability assessment ranking. It is concluded that the refurbishment of the façade with a conventional contact façade has the highest ranking on sustainability, followed by façade refurbishment with contact façade combined with only roof refurbishment/glazing refurbishment or both. Also, the modified wood wall types show high sustainability ranking regarding their refurbishment potential.
