Abstract

The study focuses on a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach, for energy efficient intervention on the historic centre and buildings of a town in southern Italy. The methodology involves the use of numerical simulations and building information modeling for the management optimisation of the analysis and design phases. The energy analyses are carried out with experimental measurements and numerical simulations and are integrated with traditional historical, typological and architectural analyses. The study confirms the optimal behaviour of historic settlement principle against new urbanisation and proposes a series of specific solutions to be implemented on the buildings based on improving energy efficiency and sustainability of interventions, compatibility with the restoration charts and with the historical and microclimate context of reference. The study highlighted a number of limitations still present in the interoperability between software that future research developments will have to overcome in order to improve the practical applicability of the approach.
