Gis applications for a renovation of legacy radiological facilities

Determination of future fate for nuclear and radiological legacy facilities is becoming an extremely important near term issue.Our proposal is to enhance information on the actual, legacy radiological facilities, for decision to treatment or replace radiological facilities and exceptional buildings.With GIS applications and analytical database, the inherited facilities can be classified according to the seriousness and importance of modernization or treatment, so that the competent authorities can decide to carry out the renovation, replacement or decontamination of the radiation buildings. We used in the study develop a database analysis methodology that allows GIS tools to quickly and accurately test some facilities. Through these tools, buildings that need to be replaced and buildings that can be renovated more easily can be identified, taking into account the criteria for the design and construction.The use of GIS model for each building represents a fundamental added value of the method since it supports the identification of particular buildings or clusters of buildings, their quantification and their distribution. The GIS tool developed (Energy Scout)* can help in a clear knowledge of customized scenarios and statistical analysis that can be analyses in order to evaluate energy, economic and social impacts of selected technical measures. *Energy Scout is a tool for estimating the energy impacts of various energy conservation measures (ECMs). residential and commercial building. Scout characterizes ECMs using their relative or absolute performance, installed cost, service lifetime, and year of introduction into the market. Probability distributions can be placed on ECM performance, cost, and lifetime inputs, which then propagate through to final energy impacts. Furthermore, ECM energy performance can be calculated using whole-building energy simulation with Energy Plus on prototype building models.
