I nuovi requisiti di progettazione e gestione degli edifici in epoca Covid

La Rete Innovativa Regionale Venetian Green Building Cluster, capofila del progetto di ricerca Hybrid Sustainable Worlds (HSW), finanziato dalla Regione Veneto con fondi POR FESR e di cui l’Ing. Mauro Roglieri è Vicepresidente, terrà un importante incontro di studio e discussione sul tema dei nuovi requisiti dei sistemi edificio-impianti derivanti dalla necessità di gestione delle ondate pandemiche.

A seguito dell’epidemia di Covid 19, sono stati attuati degli adeguamenti architettonici ed impiantistici di particolare rilevanza. Il progetto HSW ha analizzato nello specifico il caso delle strutture ospedaliere e scolastiche ma le osservazioni a cui si è giunti possono essere applicate anche per RSA, aule universitarie, edifici direzionali, edifici museali etc.

Le modifiche introdotte per far fronte all’epidemia sono state spesso parziali e temporanee e hanno comportato un aumento importante dei consumi energetici o riduzione dell’efficienza energetica edificio impianto (si pensi banalmente agli effetti dell’apertura delle finestre durante il periodo invernale nelle aule scolastiche o negli uffici).

L’incontro sarà una importante occasione di confronto e condivisione sulle problematiche principali e sulle possibili soluzioni legate alla progettazione degli edifici in epoca Covid.

L’incontro si svolgerà il 21/12/2022, dalle ore 14:30 alle ore 18:00 presso la Cittadella dell’Edilizia – Marghera (VE) – Via Banchina dell’Azoto, 15, 30175 Venezia VE

MR Energy presente al Webinar Green Building: strategie e soluzioni per un’edilizia sostenibile – Gli edifici storici.

E’ noto ormai come il patrimonio edilizio italiano esistente comprende un’elevata percentuale di edifici storici, nei quali il raggiungimento dei nuovi obiettivi di performance energetiche e di confort presuppone un approccio integrato con la sensibilità di conservazione degli elementi caratteristici del fabbricato.  Tra le principali e significative sfide odierne c’è proprio la riqualificazione del patrimonio edilizio esistente.

Nell’ambito di tale scenario il protocollo GBC Historic Building® risulta essere uno strumento innovativo e fondamentale per sposare sostenibilità e conservazione degli edifici storici.

L’applicazione dei protocolli previsti per la certificazione energetico-ambientale, ha permesso infatti agli edifici storici certificati di migliorare le performances energetiche e di ridurre i consumi idrici grazie a sistemi di riutilizzo delle acque. L’attenzione al miglioramento del comfort ambientale interno richiesto dal protocollo GBC HB, ha inoltre permesso di restituire agli edifici storici certificati una funzionalità adeguata alle nuove esigenze e di contribuire ad una maggiore durabilità delle opere.

Nel corso del webinar tenutosi martedì 14/09/2021, MR Energy rappresentata da Federica Ariaudo, ha mostrato alcuni aspetti tecnici specifici relativi al protocollo GBC Historic Building®.

MR Energy at EXPO Milano 2015

Biocasas_82Buildings in which we work and live, are responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. This is due to energy consumption for lighting, summer air conditioning, winter heating, but also to the use of natural resources and building materials which create additional greenhouse gas emissions while being produced and disposed at the end of their life cycle.

Welldom, with Biocasa_82, commissioned by Claudia and Enrico Moretti Polegato (President Diadora, VP Geox), demonstrated how a building, in this case a residential house, can achieve the highest standards of respect for the environment throughout its entire life cycle, resulting at the same time an extremely comfortable place to live.

Biocasa_82 is compliant with the international standard of sustainability LEED for Homes at ‘Platinum’ level, but Welldom wanted to calculate analytically the reduction of GHG emissions throughout the life cycle, compared to the construction of a traditional building in Class C. This study was commissioned to MR Energy.

On 14th September 2015, the project will be presented to the public at EXPO Milano 2015.

EED transposed into Italian Regulation

Directive 2012/27/EU was transposed into Italian Decree 102/2014.

Here follow a short review of the main news.

Renovation of public bodies’ buildings will be applied to minimum 3% of the whole area (about 400.000 m2 / year). With a public investment of 355 million euros in the period 2014-2020. The local authorities contribute to achieving the objective.

Purchasing by public bodies will follow the National Green Public Procurement Plan and other National regulations on high energy-efficiency performance of products, services and buildings.

Energy efficiency obligation schemes was set up, confirming the White Certificates as the main system to achieve  cumulative end-use energy savings target by 31 December 2020.

Large Enterprises and energy-intensive enterprises shall carry out energy audits or implement an energy management system. Public funding will be available for SME to voluntary carry out energy audits or implement an EMS.

Energy Performance Contracts are promoted and minimum items to be included are provided.

New buildings and renovation of existing buildings satisfying high energy efficiency standards can benefit from volume bonuses and derogations to urban standards.

The National Fund for Energy Efficiency was established for: a) energy efficiency in public buildings; b) the development of district heating and cooling; c) energy efficiency services and public infrastructure; d) energy efficiency of residential buildings and social housing; e) energy efficiency in the industrial sector.

With this Decree Italy finally gets in line with EED, and provides an allocation of 800 million euros from 2014 to 2020 for energy efficiency.

Innovation in construction sector

Given the importance of this subject, we report here entirely an article published by World Green Building Council as a report of the meeting chaired by WGBC at the European Commission in November 2013. Hope you find it interesting.

What does ‘Innovation’ mean for the construction sector?

Nov 07, 2013

The title of this article was the question posed in the opening plenary of the European Commission’s recent ‘Innovation in Construction’ conference, chaired by the Europe Regional Network.

Opening Plenary of Innovation in Construction Conference

However, this conference wasn’t about dream projects and fanciful concept stage products as the name might suggest to some. It was very much about the hard reality that has stared the sector in the face for a number of years: we need to innovate to ensure the heart of our industry can come off life support and start beating strongly once again.

Antti Peltomäki, Deputy Director-General of DG Enterprise and Industry noted at the outset of the conference that “there is significant pressure for the construction sector to adapt and evolve in the face of high energy prices, environmental concerns and increased competition from non-EU operators”. Indeed, this year’s ‘World Green Building Trends’ report demonstrated that European enterprises are very much in a global green building race, with green building activity on the rise around the world.

The buzzword of the day was ‘competitiveness’. Pleasingly, the concept of long-term economic competitiveness is becoming increasingly synonymous with that of sustainability in EU construction dialogue. This mainstreaming of sustainability in the wider dialogue about competitiveness was consolidated last year by the Commission’s ‘Strategy for the sustainable competitiveness of the construction sector and it’s enterprises’.

The Strategy is a long-term policy vision for the sector released by DG Enterprise and Industry in summer 2012 that is currently being taken forward by a high level strategic forum and a number of thematic groups. This work sits alongside work by DG Environment on EU sustainable building policy, which the Network has recently responded to in its Sustainable Buildings Paper, setting out a vision for market transformation.

What is clearly agreed across the Commission is that innovating to lead on sustainability will be key to our sector’s long-term competitiveness, at home as well as in an increasingly global market. How we create an EU policy framework that will help transform the market towards sustainability is the big question now.

Another common theme from the day that emerged strongly alongside ‘competitiveness’ was ‘collaboration’, which reflects the key message in our recent report ‘A New Era in Building Partnerships’. The central importance of cross-sector collaboration in achieving more innovative, sustainable and valuable outcomes is a core principle at the heart of Green Building Councils and their whole value-chain member communities. Interestingly, one of the proposals put forwards at the conference was that supply chain collaboration ought to be more explicitly promoted by EU policy.

In conclusion, the conference evidenced a growing belief that innovative short-term thinking is not really true innovation at all, and that partnership is the new leadership when doing business.
