Sustainable strategies applied to built heritage rehabilitation

Today the renewed interest in the theme of recovery of historical buildings has drawn attention to the built heritage of minor historical centers and its relationship with the environmental issue. This topic has offered the opportunity to carry out a study to discover the elements of environmental sustainability and propose the integration with new forms of energy and functional efficiency. It is, then, the result of a careful process of compatibility between the solutions identified and the specific case, in order to obtain a high performance building. Intervention strategies must be adapted, therefore, to the object of study, using more or less conservative approaches, aimed at the introduction of new forms of energy efficiency and the use of sustainable materials. This paper aims to apply the above mentioned approach to two case studies in the village of San Pio di Fontecchio (AQ), using dry technologies and taking into account climate and energy aspects as well.
