Strategic scenarios in energy-environmental refurbishment of the historic massive building stock.

Summary

This paper proposes a reflection on possible design tools for the energy environmental refurbishment of historical massive buildings, through actions that take into consideration the historical, architectural and ecological value of the building. In line with our current national legislation and European directives, the research topic concerns operations on the built heritage as a mean towards the reduction of the environmental and economic costs, urban revitalization processes, as well as social and cultural enhancement. An excursus on the most popular massive archetypes localized in the Mediterranean basin, means to illustrates their common performance characteristics and their bioclimatic behavior. The recognition of the loss of traditional building methods highlights the need to recover a synergic approach in the push for intervention on massive heritage. The objective of this paper aims to outline an intervention methodology to define strategic scenarios for massive historical buildings that meet the three general approaches of: recovery, refurbishment and energy retrofit. This methodology is applied to the case study of the adaptive reuse of Fort Portuense, in Rome: specifically, the experimentation wants to improve indoor comfort, with operation on the envelope stratification and on energy management of the building, trying to integrate multiple devices that cooperate synergistically with the whole system as to provide a high-energy performance building.
