Transformation of Historical Buildings into Zero Energy Buildings - the Case of Palazzo de Simone, Benevento, Italy | Chapter 4 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 8

 The strength requalification of historical houses is an interesting challenge that links the historical-beautiful sphere to the mechanics-plant engineering one accompanying the ultimate aim of reconstructing energy adeptness and environmental comfort. The European Commission's long-term calculated vision for a thriving, modern, vying, and climate-neutral saving by 2050 outlines key strategic blocks for maximizing the benefits of strength efficiency, including nothing-emission constructions, and for maximizing the deployment of renewables and the use of power to fully decarbonize Europe's energy supply. The EU Climate Target Plan 2030 stresses, once again and even more insistently than in 2050, the critical need to construct a new, sustainable, and flexible Europe, and this lofty aim entails cleaner air, better energy freedom, and more energy-effective buildings. Regarding these European regulations, Italy has affirmed the PNIEC and wants to work with it to chase an indicative goal of threatening consumption by 2030 to a level namely equal to 43% of basic energy and 39.7% of final strength compared to the PRIMES 2007 remark scenario. To achieve this aim, particular attention command a price of to the existing houses such as Palazzo De Simone. So, for the historical construction, the main objectives have happened to minimize the environmental impact; guarantee a high level of microclimatic comfort and good household air quality; guarantee the conservation and integrity of the feature while preserving allure historical personality; to improve the energy efficiency of the building, lowering energy requirements and therefore management costs. This memorable structure was built in Benevento (BN) in the eighteenth century on a project by the planner Raguzzini. It has been possible to develop a successful study framework offset from an extensive ancient research as well as from a number of non-hurtful in-situ surveys and environmental dossier. Following the identification of the design aims, design strategies and solutions have existed developed. In accordance with the Superintendence's limits, it has been determined to work everywhere with a conservative renovation and specifically at the following stages: first, on the construction envelope while leaving the systems unchanged, and then on the wholes while leaving the envelope unchanged.  Finally, subsequently crossing the results, the shift of the historical construction into a nZEB was achieved, in accordance with the lawmaking limits imposed by domestic legislation.

The Hygiene Institute within the Sapienza University of Rome Campus: A Proposal for Energy and Environmental Refurbishment | Chapter 3 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 8

 The following three aims have been recognized as the research's pilot aims, starting with the definition of tenable development determined by the 2030 Agenda and ultimate recent European exercise instruments, particularly the New Green Deal: Goal 13 "Climate Action" aims to increase the construction stock's resilience and changeability to climate-accompanying risks, Goal 7 "Affordable and Clean Energy" aims to increase the share of renewable energy and boost existent buildings' energy effectiveness, and Goal 6 "Clean Water and Sanitation" focuses on a sustainable administration of water resources and sciences for recycling and talk over again.  Particular attention was paid in the research to the strength and environmental remodeling, from a green perspective, of the "Sanarelli" Institute of Hygiene on the "Sapienza" University of Rome square. The structure was built in 1935, and after a number of alterations during the whole of the years, it immediately has a total volume of 37,700 m3 and a surface extent of 9,475 m2. The work has concentrated on the expression of particular targets with the greatest goal of the strength and environmental renewal intervention following in position or time a thorough analysis of the current situation using inspections, surveys, non-obtrusive investigations, and referring to practices or policies that do not negatively affect the environment assessments. A non-obtrusive approach for in situ surveys have existed conducted to gather facts on architectural and fundamental elements and on their state of preservation.  With reference to the 2030 Agenda, the objectives of the research have existed set, concerning: the improvement of within microclimatic comfort, the reduction of meteorological and water pollution in addition to CO2 emissions, the help of circular economy and the optimization of construction management. To reach these energetic objectives 7 plans have been traces on account of which it has been attainable to identify 9 mechanics solutions expected applied to the Institute. The design selections show a close synergy between alive and passive instruments that together help achieve a circular use of water money on site, accompanying systems for capturing and accumulating rainwater and doctoring wastewater, as well as serving to achieve a important improvement in the energy nature of the building. This bettering has been created possible not only by modernizing the construction envelope's properties and alive systems similarly current standards and custom, but also by close aid between alive and passive technological answers that has produced acceptable results in terms of threatening CO2 emissions.
