Le membrane tessili: un sistema integrato per migliorare le prestazioni ambientali degli edifici monumentali

Given the ambitious energy and environmental targets established by the European Union for the energy efficiency of the building stock, in the case of architectural heritage, specific strategies for energy improvement must be developed. Due to the stringent restrictions of preservation norms, the energy retrofit of monumental buildings must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering the historical and artistic value of the structure and implementing solutions that preserve its architectural integrity. This study focuses on the integration of textile membranes as building component in the cultural heritage. A state-of-the-art study was conducted and the main types of integration interventions were analysed and classified according to the type of building component, highlighting the gap in the literature regarding the impact on the environmental performance of the structure as a whole. The results show that the contribution of this lightweight, compatible and reversible membrane systems to the energy improvement of listed buildings needs to be studied in depth.
