To meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement, including zero net emissions by 2050, it is necessary that governments develop a culture of sustainability. Whole Life Carbon Assessment of a building, comprehensive of operational and embodied carbon (EC), is described by EN15978:2011. Net Zero Carbon Buildings (NZCB) achieve a balance of zero emissions during their life cycle, promoting both reduction and compensation by adopting many strategies (e.g., reuse of existing structures, design for adaptability and disassembly, circular economy principles). Choosing bio-based materials is also helpful to compensate for EC, thanks to the biogenic carbon stored during their growth. The aim of this research is to find out which strategies are relevant to meet NZCB target, in order to apply them to a case study of reuse of an abandoned building in Milan, highlighting the design process.

To date, the building sector is responsible for 38% of all carbon emissions, thus one of the main targets is represented by the development of building strategies that can facilitate the transition toward carbon-neutral buildings. The main strategies are today represented by nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs), zero energy buildings (ZEBs)/net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) and net zero carbon buildings (NZCBs). Particularly, NZCBs completely target zero operational and embodied carbon during their life cycles, fulfilling the leadership role in the decarbonization of the construction sector. Moreover, adopting the European Standard EN 15978:2011, carbon emissions can be precisely classified to enhance strategies aimed at reducing them. Commercial viability remains a fundamental economic driver, but the higher initial capital costs h...

Within this framework, methodologies to achieve early evaluation of different project alternatives since the very preliminary design phases are supposed to be a key factor for the success of the building process, as it is highlighted by the Italian public procurement code (D.Lgs 50/2016). Therefore, the role of the contracting authority is crucial, as it is called both to activate the process through the definition of the project requirements and to accomplish the evaluation of the proposed solutions by respecting the principles of public interests, legality, transparency and responsibility. In order to achieve these goals, the research proposes a standard methodology composed of a list of synthetic indicators and the criteria for their combination, ai...

La rigenerazione urbana rappresenta un nodo essenziale per l’economia circolare, apre la strada alla re-infrastrutturazione, alla rivisitazione dei sistemi di trasporto, al miglioramento della vivibilità attraverso il progetto degli spazi pubblici, alla valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale. Il paper indaga il tema della potenzialità legate al recupero del patrimonio industriale delle aree a forte connotazione industriale in cui è in atto un processo di deindustrializzazione legato a trasformazioni economico-produttive e a processi di globalizzazione del mercato dove l’economia circolare costituisce un’occasione e uno strumento centrale per dare contenuto e forza attuativa (sostenibilità economica, sociale e ambientale) ai processi di rigenerazione urbana. La rigenerazione urbana di questi sistemi territoriali richiede una visione strategica d’insieme che sappia mettere a sistema gli interventi sulle singole aree centrando il focus sulle interrelazioni tra edifici e struttura della città specie nei casi in cui il carattere di una città (o una intera regione) è influenzato dalla presenza di un patrimonio industriale anche minore. La lettura di qualsiasi spazio o manufatto di archeologia industriale, non solo come testimonianza culturali da recuperare nella dinamica sociale odierna ma anche come sistema integrato nell'ambiente e nella società, impone ai progettisti una nuova consapevolezza e nuove metodologie di progetto che sappiano guidare il processo di modificazione. Alla scala edilizia dunque si aprono nuovi scenari di progettazione integrata del processo edilizio e azioni di intervento connesse al tema del riuso. Il paper descrive tale metodologia applicata ad un caso di studio relativo alla città industriale di Lecco (IT).the same time, an opportunity because it offers long-term economic, environmental and social advantages, involving multiple actors in cooperative processes and promoting the re-investments of economic resources locally. Urban regeneration is an essential node in the circular economy implementation because it provides renovation and enhancement of urban infrastructures (including mobility improvement) and urban livability through public spaces and public life design and Cultural Heritage enhancement. The paper investigates the potentialities and the benefits from the industrial heritage restoration in territorial contexts characterized by process of deindustrialization due to the economic-productive transformations and to the market globalization processes. In these contexts the circular economy is a unique occasion and a strategic concept in strengthening the implementation process (providing economic, social and environmental sustainability). The urban regeneration of these areas requires a global strategic vision able to systematize the interventions on the single areas focusing on the interrelations between buildings and the whole urban components especially in cases where urban contexts are characterized by the presence of a relevant but minor industrial heritage. The identification of all industrial archaeology resources (both related to open spaces and built environment), is fundamental not only in order to use these resources as cultural evidence in today’s social dynamics, but mostly in developing integrated strategies (for environment and society) as well. This renovated approach imposes to designers new awareness and design methodologies for managing modification processes. Therefore, on a construction scale, new scenarios of building process integrated planning and intervention actions associated to the reuse theme are opened. The paper describes this methodology applied to a case study related to the industrial city of Lecco (IT)

The result presented here starts and develops from some ongoing research from several years within the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (DICAr) of the University of Pavia and the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. In particular, through reuse actions is possible to respond simultaneously both to the changing regulatory and performance needs and to the requirements for the conservation and enhancement of the monument in a perspective aimed at the sustainability of the proposed design solution. This action, intrinsically characterized by a great complexity, as it must necessarily consider different spheres of knowledge and different technical and scientific skills, will be addressed, more specifically, from the point of view of reading the technological and construction solutions applied for the reuse project, therefore intended as an instrument of control and balance between the needs of conservation and memory and of transformation and innovation of the building.

I saggi elaborati in per l’occasione sono stati raccolti e formano il corpus di questo volume. Il tema centrale che questa rete ha formulato per l’inizio della sua attività è quello dello “Spessore della città”: indagine che, attraverso un tentativo di dialogo interdisciplinare, cerca di superare l’idea ormai consolidata e largamente condivisa di “densificazione” come strumento di riqualificazione degli spazi della città. Il concetto di “spessore”, che in ciascun saggio viene diversamente declinato per generare un glossario trasversale e condiviso, vuole ricapitolare, al di là dei semplici aspetti quantitativi, anche la coerenza strutturale e funzionale che un efficace spazio urbano, a tutte le diverse scale, deve possedere.In July 2012, the magazine (h) ortus has h...

Indeed, the valorisation of architecture, i.e. its effective cultural enjoyment, requires that it could be physically utilized by users, thus it should respond to changing needs. The need to keep buildings in use often involve the definition of new functions and of adaptation interventions; however, these must not conflict with the historic character of buildings. The impact on historic buildings is strongly dependent on the choice of the intended use: indeed the amount of people in the building, and particular needs of plant integration or adaptation to current functional and safety standards can result in immediate significant alterations and over time they can promote the progress of decay both of the building, and of the movable property therein located. In the meta-design phase, it is therefore important to define models for the impact of alternative intervention and utilization scenarios. These models could be used to aid in selecting the scenarios most compatible with the preservation of historical, cultural and material features of buildings, through the aware prediction of possible damages. In this framework the research unit is starting up a multi-disciplinary study applied to the case of the historic buildings of the University of Pavia. This research is aimed at the development of a useful tool for evaluating the impact of preservation and valorisation works, in order to promote sustainable management, implemented through the approach of predictive maintenance and planned conservation.

The principle aim is the investigation and the analysis of a complex as an indispensable relationship between the phase of building knowledge and that of intervention. Methodologically this question will be addressed firstly through a historical excursus through the main restoration theories with the aim of understanding how this aspect has always been perceived as a fundamental element for the success of the project; then it will be addressed towards the study and investigation of some more recent methodological solutions. Outcome, still open to development and progress scenarios, is the evaluation of how the most recent technologies and information systems can be able, if wisely used, to became tools able to assist the designer in the synthetic control of the management of the building process.

It's a long time since the STEP laboratory, of the University of Pavia, deals with researches on the themes of recovery and restoration of Interdepartmental Research Centre on Cultural Heritage Conservation (CISRiC). The STEP laboratory has worked on the development of analysis and energy assessment methodologies and on the sustainable management of historical buildings. In this area, a research was conduct and experimented on the southern wing of the royal palace of Monza, in Lombardy (north of Italy). Another project was focused on the creation of assessment models aimed at planning the conservation and the Life Cycle Assessment of "Minor" monuments, such as the sanctuary of the Beata Vergine Annunciata in Serle (province of Brescia), also in Lombardy. The methodological features delineate a unified approach for the sustainable management of the Cultural Heritage, through the conducted case-studies.

In particular, the indoor environment's performance assessment is necessary to verify either if the building meets users' requirements, or further planned actions (refurbishment, new systems installation, etc.) are needed. The Cultural Heritage has strict preservation requirements, but it is necessary to meet the users' needs in term of environmental quality, safety and management. The paper illustrates a research developed by the CISRiC and the SITI Institute, on behalf of ENEA (Italian National agency for new technologies, Energy and sustainable economic development). The goal is the definition of innovative tools for energy efficiency assessment and monitoring, with the purpose of defining guidelines aimed at improving energy and efficient management of the buildingplant system. The case study is the southern wing of the Villa Reale in Monza (1777-1780), which represents the high complexity of historical buildings.

It presents an opportunity for cities’ design, in particular historical centers, through joint actions aimed at creating synergies and connections between social, political, economic, and environmental aspects. It also becomes an opportunity to enhance the huge and complex Cultural Heritage, full of architectural values, memory, and history. At the same time, it appears increasingly inadequate and obsolete compared to the new needs of a changing society, of regulatory aspects, and of a general compatible approach to intervention to the more general policies of sustainable development, as required by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. A total of two case studies of the reuse and enhancement of hospital buildings of the University of Pavia are presented, which has a large building heritage spread throughout the city. In recent years, owing to the opportunities offered by funding,...

Its high geometric precision, thoroughness, performance retrieved and especially the generation of high fidelity and precision of architectural good assets make these tools optimal for the planimetric surveys. The work of intervention or conservation of cultural heritage requires a previous graphic registration using different techniques available. This article presents a combined method of implementation of various digital techniques that allow to achieve the most accurate graphic documentation possible.

At first, it discusses the theme of the importance of the direct investigation on the monument, aimed to a full and conscious knowledge of the building. Then it focuses on structural analysis, which is based on the information obtained by means of surveys and it is not just an act for the project, but becomes itself an instrument of knowledge, that must be integrated with all other methods of investigation. The work focuses on the case study of the Oratory of St. Anne of Pietra Perduca, located in the Trebbia valley, close to Piacenza (Italy). The masonry of the building is made of marly limestone ashlars. These ashlars were laid with mortar placed into the wall's interstices and not visible on the external face, giving impression of dry masonry. The pitched roof has a timber structure with trusses and limestone roofing. Different s...

Annunciata di Serle, può essere esteso a molti altri beni ecclesiastici diffusi sul territorio regionale.
La realizzazione di questo vademecum risponde in particolare alla necessità di sensibilizzare e rendere consapevoli i gestori dei beni culturali delle potenzialità che corrette strategie di conservazione programmata apportano dal punto di vista della sostenibilità economica e funzionale del patrimonio. Il vademecum è da intendersi come una breve guida contenente suggerimenti e raccomandazioni per un’adeguata prevenzione del degrado degli edifici storici di tipo ecclesiastico.

Il rispetto di tali norme in un edificio esistente è più difficile rispetto ad uno di nuova costruzione in quanto ciò comporta modifiche da apportare in un secondo tempo sul costruito. Gli edifici di elevato interesse culturale sono soggetti al Codice dei Beni Culturali e Paesaggistici, definito tramite il D.Lgs n.42 del 22 gennaio 2004 e successive modifiche, secondo la definizione riportata nell'Art.136 nel quale si definiscono gli immobili di notevole interesse pubblico. Alcune norme strutturali e impiantistiche per gli edifici prevedono specifici vincoli per quelli ad alto interesse culturale, mentre per altre norme occorre valutare caso per caso la loro applicabilità. Per questi edifici, il Codice richiede che l'esecuzione di opere e lavori di qualunque genere (inclusi demolizioni, modifiche e interventi di restauro) su un edificio storico sottoposto a vincolo di interesse culturale sia subordinata ad autorizzazione del Ministero per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali (Art. 21 e Art.169) e che tali edifici non possano essere adibiti ad usi non compatibili con il loro carattere storico o artistico, o tali da recare pregiudizio alla loro conservazione o integrità (Art. 170). Un esempio che tiene conto di tali vincoli è la norma sulla certificazione energetica (DLgs 311/2006, e successive modifiche), essa infatti all'art.3, comma 3, prevede che siano esclusi dall'adeguamento normativo e dalla certificazione gli immobili ricadenti nell'articolo 136 comma 1, lett. b) e c) del Codice nel caso in cui il rispetto delle prescrizioni implichino una alterazione inaccettabile del loro carattere o aspetto storico-artistico. Questo non esclude però la possibilità di inserire nell'edificio impianti meccanici, termici, elettrici e/o elettronici per renderli più idonei alle necessità d'uso, o per ottimizzare il comportamento in condizioni di esercizio.
