Abstract
Housing plays a key role in the world path to energy transition, and retrofitting buildings is a major asset to this end. Unfortunately, despite the supporting measures and incentives promoted in many countries, the renovation rate is still too slow. This is even more complex within some specific assets, such as social housing, which, especially in Italy, depends on the availability of public funds. The study proposes a predictive tool conceived as an enabler in the decision-making process, capable of considering and comparing the performance levels that different retrofitting actions can reach, according to building features, intervention costs, timing, and resource availability. The tool is tested on a social housing case study in Bologna.
期刊介绍:
TECHNE, Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment is the scientific magazine of SITdA, the Italian Society of Architectural Technology. Techne aims: to publicize significant contributions in the technological and environmental planning action area, to provide a tool for international comparison on research themes in that area, to promote the recognition of scientific contributions in accordance with its criteria on the evaluation of research in an academic context and to promote the circulation of contributions concerning research and experimentation, the results and effects of which are interesting in terms of social, economic, environmental and cultural impact. The magazine endorses an editorial policy primarily geared towards the diffusion of knowledge, favouring access to it and ensuring reliable and original contributions as well as recognition to the authors, whose protection is a top priority but not limiting. Techne publishes two issues a year; it includes articles, essays, columns, interviews and reviews by authors who work in the academic world, in research, design, industry, and entrepreneurial and client organizations.
