Abstract
The aim of the present study is to define a methodology for the recovery of historical centres, directed at the energy-environmental upgrading of the patrimony itself. The process of human influence and transformation of the planet has highlighted the strong criticality in the building sector because of the growing use of resources, so much as to cause one to reflect on the advisability of continuing to build without any energy-environmental criterion; parallel to this, the presence of numerous historical centres, situated in the most interesting areas from a tourist point of view, but depopulated and on the way to alienation, makes one reflect on the precious testimony furnished by them with regard to ecologically sustainable building modalities, as well as on the possibility of assessing such a patrimony as an alternative resource to new tourist constructions. The study case concerns the Castelvecchio Calvisio (Aq) historical centre in Italy, inside the Gran Sasso National Park and the Monti della Laga, which presents typical characteristics common to all the small centres situated in the Abruzzo mountain area, both from a typological and technological point of view. The study has been structured in three phases: − 1) knowledge of the territorial system, by means of a check on external factors (physical and environmental) and the anthropic system, by means of a check on the residual performance of the actual state; − 2) configuration of the most appropriate strategies and the planning application with the assessment of the solutions adopted; − 3) comparison between the indications furnished by the present Italian regulations on the subject of energy saving (Dlgs 311/2006) and the indications drawn from the experimentation carried out on the study case, which can be extended to the great patrimony of historical tradition. The study concludes with the systematization of the results and the new ecological-environmental requirements which contribute to the improvement of the planning organization of physical space and the introduction of processes of energy-environmental upgrading of the existing building patrimony by means of an improvement of morphological, fruitive and ecosystem qualities, by means of a qualitative adaptation of building structures and the neighbourhood to which they belong.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
