Achieving sustainable urban environments is a challenging goal—especially in existing
cities with high percentages of old and obsolete buildings. This work analyzes the contribution of roof
refurbishment to sustainability, considering that most roofs are currently underused. Many potential
benefits of refurbishment can be achieved, such as the improvement of the energy performance
of the buildings and the use of a wasted space for increasing green areas or for social purposes.
In order to estimate the degree of the improvement, a vulnerable area in Castellón (east Spain) was
selected as a case study. A thorough analysis of the residential building stock was undertaken. Using
georeferenced information from the Cadastral Office we classified them according to typology, year
of construction and roof type. Some refurbishment solutions were proposed and their applicability
to the actual buildings was analyzed under different criteria. The theoretical benefits obtained in
the neighborhood such as energy and carbon emissions savings were evaluated, together with the
increase of green areas. Moreover, other social uses were suggested for neglected urban spaces in
the area. Finally, a more accurate analysis was performed combining different solutions in a specific
building, according to its particular characteristics. [-]
