Il sistema verde: soluzioni per la tutela dell’ambiente e la riduzione delle emissioni di CO2. L’esempio di una scuola esistente.

Abstract

The public school building sector offers great opportunities for energy efficiency and CO2 emissions reduction. In this research a method for the energy evaluation of school buildings is proposed. It implements simple input information connected to dynamic simulations. The main objective is to evaluate the energy, environmental and economic impact of different regeneration proposals, combining a green system integration. The building chosen as a case study, which presents serial and widespread constructive and thermo-physical characteristics, allows to extend the validity of obtained results to similar cases and conditions. Findings highlighted the importance of developing site-specific strategies and green energy solutions, to optimally adapt any intervention to the architectural, typological and plant characteristics of the school. The proposed example is a prototype case so that the Municipalities and Public Administrations, owned by most of the schools in Italy, can use it as basic knowledge for future projects oriented towards the energy transition, but also for specific tailored training.
