“…The data on energetic performances, especially about the assembly phase and use phase of life cycle, have been gotten from past realistic and accurate investigations carried out on the same building that were necessary for the drafting of the PhD thesis of the doctoral student Negro E. cited in the articles [20,21,41].…”

For some years now the regulations in the sustainability field oriented the practitioners towards an increasing restraint concerning energy necessities, to reconsider the weight in terms of energy and environmental impacts associated with different phases of their life cycle. Among the reliable models to carry out the valuation, the Life Cycle Assessment remains a useful tool that determine the most impactful stages of the life cycle of any process and, thus, its environmental performances. This paper aims to develop and complete previous analyses on sustainability led on the historical heritage of the city of Matera, highlighting all the issues that are still unresolved and the possible solutions to be undertaken. Deep considerations on sustainability and its peculiarities are carried out. A reported analysis of literature and a description of the methods and tools used in the case study are shown. The case study consists in performing the LCA using SimaPro software, based on the assumptions aimed to the energetic retrofit for "Palazzo del Sedile", an historical building located in Matera, Italy. In this section, three methods of assessment are largely described, the choice has been made due to their significance in expressing the environmental effects from three very different perspectives.

“…These constructions, although not responding to the current standards, are still in use having also, very often, an artistical value such that they are classified and protected as cultural heritage (Andrus and Shrimpton, 1997;McClelland, 1997;English Heritage, 2008;Mazzarella, 2015). The importance of improving the energy efficiency of historic buildings has been also introduced by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MIBACT) with "Guidelines for the improvement of energy efficiency in cultural heritage" (MIBACT, 2015). This document is aimed to provide indications for assessing and improving the energy performance of the protected cultural heritage, with reference to Italian standards on energy saving and efficiency.…”

“…This document is aimed to provide indications for assessing and improving the energy performance of the protected cultural heritage, with reference to Italian standards on energy saving and efficiency. Recently, these guidelines are also analyzed in detail in Negro et al (2016) to verify their compatibility with the energy interventions realized in the ancient Matera Cathedral, belonging to the historic center of Matera, named "Sassi of Matera." These guidelines are useful for designers because they provide a tool for assessing the energy performance of historic buildings in the existing conditions, as well as provide operational criteria for designing of any energy intervention.…”

Italian historical buildings do not respect often standard requirements established by National regulations, so that they need of an energy requalification. In addition, commonly the adopted provisions do not belong to an integral design approach in which different aspects, such as architectonic, energetic, and structural should be together considered for obtaining a total building rehabilitation. This work mainly addresses to the application of non-invasive methods for energy retrofitting of historical buildings in Italy. In particular, an energy audit protocol is studied and applied to a case study, consisting on an ancient masonry building located within the historical center of "Sassi of Matera," recognized as UNESCO site since 1993. In the paper some energy efficiency measures are considered, by examining also alternative interventions with respect to the classical ones, by applying innovative and sustainable materials, fashionable as well from a structural point of view. This proposal, to be investigated more in detail in future, responds to the criteria of non-invasiveness for preserving the cultural heritage identity, and simultaneously improving the energy and the structural response.

In recent years the legislation in energetic certification of buildings oriented the construction sector towards an increasing restraint about energy requirements, associated with the different phases of life cycle of a building. For this purpose, the Life Cycle Assessment, internationally recognized for reliable valuation of energy and environmental performances, is still a useful tool to determine any impact in the life cycle of process. The first part of this paper focuses on LCA and its application to historical heritage. A reported analysis of literature and a description of the software and methods used in the case study are shown. In the second part of the paper, LCA analysis was performed using the software SimaPro by PRé Consultants v.8.5.2.0, based on the hypothesis aimed to the energy efficiency of "Palazzo del Sedile", an historical building located in Matera, a southern city of Italy. The data related to this building have been derived from previous energetic analyses carried out on the same building and from statistical data and other affine studies in the literature. The Cumulative Energy Demand, the Eco-indicator 99 and the EDIP2003 methods have been implemented. Finally, the differences between the outcomes of these assessment methods have been discussed.
