VALUTAZIONE COMPARATIVA ENERGETICA DEGLI EDIFICI, PER LA CITTÀ POST CARBON

Abstract

Mankind is facing the extreme risk of Planet ecological crisis caused by global warming, a consequence of severe climate change on the Earth, originated by fossil energy over burning and consequent pollution. Key goal in Agenda for Sustainability is to reduce fossil energy consumption specially in civil sectors: residential, commercial and public buildings. Effective strategy is to increase the efficiency of buildings that must be quantitatively measured by Energy Performance Simulation Programs. EPSPs are the tools to valuate both energy performance as well as impact of sustainable works devoted to increase building energy efficiency i.e “building bio ecological energy retrofitting”. In the research two different buildings or prototypes have been designed in order to simulate: adoption of the work for “building bio ecological energy retrofitting”; against their failure to adopt them. The research carried valuated and proved in quantitative terms that the adoption of “building bio ecological energy retrofitting” creates significant saving and a measurable positive difference in the energy and ecological management of alternative buildings.
