Abstract
The need and desire to achieve sustainable architectures, including control of energy relations between climate and built environment to optimize energy consumptions and reduction of environmental impact, require an integrated planning dealt with a multiscale and integral view of building-plant system. In this paper the case of multifunctional building complex Solaria is described: a redevelopment project of a disused industrial area, approximately 20,000 m2, located in the center of Ponte San Giovanni, a town in the immediate periphery of Perugia (Italy), conceived and designed in accordance with the logic above mentioned. Objective of the study has been to achieve an integrated approach to the problems related to demands of comfort and healthy living, sustainability of building process, containment of energy consumptions and use of renewable energy resources. The coordination for energy efficiency has supported an accurate study of plant-structural interventions and innovative experimental components, which synergistically integrated in a single project have enabled to reach important results, as demonstrated by the assessment of avoided CO2 emissions, equal to nearly 500 tons per year. The project plans, for instance, to provide the building complex with: a high-efficiency tri-generation plant (525 kW of electric power) coupled with a distribution network for district heating/cooling; a photovoltaic generation system with 20 kW of peak power and solar thermal panels for sanitary warm water production, able to supply over 50% of the needs; passive solar systems (solar greenhouses and "heat cushions"), equipped with sliding brise-soleils. Moreover, the results are certified through energy certification and sustainability valuation, in accordance with the building code of Municipality of Perugia, and through the BESTClass certification methodology promoted by SACERT. The process for reaching better energy efficiency class has been analyzed under environmental and economic profiles, in terms of avoided emissions and higher costs compared to a standard design. The realization of energy efficiency solutions designed for Solaria makes the complex an advanced model, but also repeatable, of integrated planning unique in the regional scene, as well as a practical application of European Directives on the energy performance of buildings (2002/91/EC) and on energy end-use efficiency and energy services (2006/32/EC).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
