Contenuti

Starting from considerations on the challenging issues related to the energy efficiency in historical buildings, the course lessons moves up to illustrate new buildings’ design and different cases of deep transformation for the buildings built after the second world war, particularly from the ‘60s and ’80s. With reference to more recently built heritage non-energy-related benefits' role in urban regeneration and building retrofit is illustrated.

The substantial increase of the architectural and urban quality is the main mission, along with the growth of real estate value of the existing buildings through significant energy and architectural transformations. Results from EU projects will be discussed and analyzed, along with regulative densification policy, to achieve climate neutrality in the existing built environment while contrasting the urban sprawl and soil sealing.
