The commitment for sustainability is a target for the Sustainable Universities Network. Sapienza University of Rome goes in this direction through the energy refurbishment of its building stock, i.e. all the educational buildings. Sapienza campus was built in the 30's and it needs a coherent improvement in terms of energy and environmental performance. Conventional energy retrofitting measures must be within a prioritazion framework to effectively take the most cost-effective strategy. Here, the case of the Chemistry Faculty building is analysed considering the improvement of the building envelope in compliance with the architectural values to be preserved as well as the integration of renewable energy plant. A model of building was used to study it and to create the scenarios and their architectural impact. Furthermore, an energy analysis of the designed refurbishment was carried out to identify the savings.
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.
