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.

Study on Paving the Road to NZEB on Two 18th Century Historical Blocks in Lisbon | Chapter 6 | New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 6

 The Pombaline Quarter Reconstruction Plan of 1758 consists of compact rectangular-shaped dwelling buildings constructed using a system that combines solid mass construction elements with a light wooden frame. Taking into account both the structural and architectural characteristics of the original Pombaline block, it demonstrates the possibility of achieving NZEB level if an energy retrofit strategy at a block scale is executed rather than the traditional single building or portion method. Retrofitting historic structures has prompted concerns about the scope and efficiency of the intervention. The influence on the built heritage must be minimal or non-existent, while energy-related improvements must be visible. This research aims to analyse and compare the results of passive, active, and BIST/PV systems packages deployment on two original blocks in terms of energy demand and primary energy consumption, with the goal of minimising the influence on case studies appearance. The whole-of-building dynamic simulation programme EnergyPlus is used to apply a Building Energy Simulation approach. The findings demonstrate that improving the outside envelope can cut heating and cooling energy demands by up to 50% while also improving thermal comfort. Finally, a combined VRF/Biomass heating solution has the best primary energy consumption statistics, while photovoltaic and solar thermal systems have proven to be critical in achieving NZEB level performance.
