Most of the Italian school constructions were built before the 1973 energy deadlock, so they need a retrofit to decrease energy demand and improve within environmental environments.The older buildings have weighty masonry; in these cases, the question is where it is more convenient to place an supplementary layer of padding: inside or outside the building envelope.Moreover, although age, these buildings have abundant windows; therefore, it is mainly necessary to better the solar control strategy by way of more recent schemes.This work is aimed to explore, only by way of computer simulations, the belongings of various retrofit policies on energy adeptness and general comfort conditions. A particular homemade program has been used.Two school houses of different ages, from different construction sciences, were examined, in a northerly Italian climate. In order to assess the influence of within gains and time characterization of use, other attainable uses for the same constructions, such as offices or dwellings, have existed simulated.The results of simulations display that external insulation forever performs high-quality, but in the case of classrooms, the differences from internal covering are irrelevant. Differences increase accompanying the reduction of the internal gains and accompanying the extension of the ending of daily use, therefore accompanying the use as an office and even containing that as a dwelling.Solar control by means of limited packable slats inserted 'tween the glasses appears expected the most operating strategy in all cases, two together in terms of strength efficiency and visual comfort.
