Results and considerations are presented from a research aimed to point out the most appropriate configurations -taking into account the available innovative protection systems -and to develop a methodology for building design based on the study of the main factors -architectural, technological and structural -which influence the response of buildings to environment actions. The research is structured in four phases: data collection, requirements definition, performance analysis, summary of results. The goal consists of an organic list of solutions allowing for minimising the environmental impact, optimising the use of materials and construction techniques, enhancing the recycling of materials, reducing the energy consumption, integrating the architecture with the innovative technological and structural systems. The research is currently being carried out and some results obtained at the intermediate stage are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
