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®.

Il mese di Aprile 2021 ha segnato due importanti news per il team MR Energy Systems: – la qualifica professionale di Mauro Roglieri come Commissioning Authority certificata da CEPAS (Bureau Veritas) e la qualifica professionale di Federica Ariaudo come WELL AP.   Due importanti attestazioni da aggiungere al lungo elenco di qualifiche professionali che il nostro team può mettere a disposizione.

L’attività di Commissioning sta lentamente prendendo piede in Italia, grazie alla diffusione del protocollo LEED che la richiede come pre-requisito. MR Energy se ne occupa ormai dal 2015, assistendo le committenze di importanti progetti direzionali, commerciali, logistici e produttivi nel processo di verifica continua della qualità e rispetto degli obiettivi di performance e sostenibilità, dalla fase di progettazione fino alle prove funzionali e test a fine lavori, e verifica continua delle performance in fase di esercizio.

La certificazione WELL unisce agli aspetti della sostenibilità, quelli legati alla qualità della vita delle persone che occupano gli edifici, assicurandone il mantenimento nel tempo. A disposizione per assistervi nell’assicurare il successo per i vostri progetti!

In compliance with art. 7 paragraph 8 of D.Lgs. 102/2014, companies that implement an energy management system ISO 5000, large companies and companies with high energy intensity that have fulfilled their obligation to carry out an Energy Audit by December 5th 2015, shall report to ENEA by March 31st 2016 the energy savings achieved in 2015.

As clarified by the Ministry of Economic Development in May 2015 “The obligation lies with the companies, and is referred to all of their production sites, including those excluded from obligation of energy audit due to the clustering process. The savings to be reported are those aroused both from efficiency improvements in the production cycle and from any other changes, even behavioral, in the management of the production cycle itself. The savings should be reported […] only if greater than 1% of the previous year’s consumption.”
