Le sfide ambientali sono essere sempre più all'ordine del giorno ed i cambiamenti climatici previsti, sebbene ancora incerti nella loro entità, appaiono sempre più vicini ed alcuni effetti sembrano già manifestarsi. La sfida per il futuro nel campo delle costruzioni è una progettazione che, con l'aiuto di strumenti sempre più efficaci, riesca a soddisfare i nuovi obiettivi ambientali indotti dai cambiamenti in atto. Introdurre tali principi nel campo della progettazione significa non fermarsi a quanto fatto finora, che si basa principalmente sull'analisi dei flussi energetici. Le nuove prospettive richiedono un approccio olistico e strategico che tenga conto di tutti gli aspetti ambientali dell'attività edilizia a livello di singolo edificio. Per questo motivo l'obiettivo della ricerca è quello di combinare alcuni aspetti dell'analisi dei flussi energetici di un edificio di riferimento con una valutazione LCA, che consente di ampliare la visione ad altri impatti e su una scala temporale più ampia, e, come terzo ramo della ricerca, con una valutazione della sostenibilità ambientale attraverso un sistema di rating. I tre strumenti sono stati applicati a un caso reale che consiste nella ristrutturazione di un edificio industriale esistente convertito in un edificio residenziale. Una volta completate le tre fasi, vengono applicate alcune variazioni dei principali parametri dell'edificio, registrate dai tre strumenti di analisi. Gli obiettivi principali sono quelli di analizzare l'edificio con i tre strumenti e verificare se i cambiamenti applicati, relativi all'isolamento utilizzato nell'edificio di riferimento, vengono registrati dai tre diversi strumenti.

Abstract
Environmental challenges seem to be increasingly on the agenda. The predicted climate changes, although still uncertain in their magnitude, appear to be getting closer and closer and some effects already seem to be manifesting themselves. The challenge for the future in the field of construction is a design that with the help of increasingly effective tools succeeds in meeting the new environmental goals. Bringing such considerations into the field of design means not stopping at what has been done so far, which is mainly based on the analysis of energy flows. New perspectives require a holistic and strategic approach that takes into account all environmentally relevant aspects of building activity at the individual building level. For this reason the research goal is to combine some aspects of the analysis of the energy flows of a reference building with an LCA assessment, which makes possible to broaden the view to other impacts and on a wider time scale, and, as third branch of the research, with an evaluation of environmental sustainability through a rating systems. The three tools have been applied to a real case consisting in the refurbishment of an existing industrial building converted in a residential building. Once the three phases are completed some variations of the main parameters of the building are applied and recorded by the three analysis tools. The main objectives are to analyze the building with the three tools and to verify if applied changes, related to insulation used, on the reference building are recorded by the three different tools.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
