Abstract

Considering the significant impact that the residential sector has on energy consumption, it is particularly important to implement policies aimed at improving energy efficiency in buildings for saving primary energy, and also to spread the concept of sustainable development through the use of appropriate technology and proper project criteria for new constructions. For these reasons the Municipality of Città della Pieve promoted the creation of a "Renewable Energy Park" in a deprived area of its territory, so that there were the main technologies for the production of green energy. In this context, it could not be lacking an educational/demonstrative "zero energy consumption" building for multifunctional activities realized with the most innovative techniques to save energy. The building will exemplify the optimization of the benefits derived from improved energy efficiency in synergy with systems of energy production from renewable sources, such as to make possible the transition from "passive" building to get to "active" building. In this paper we describe the technical solutions adopted both in the building envelope and the system concept for the project of that "zero energy consumption" building according to Directive 2010/31/CE. In order to validate the proposed solutions, it has also been carried out a simulation of the behaviour of the building in summer and winter so that it is possible to assess the actual benefits obtained both in terms of energy and in economic terms following the adoption of the proposed solutions.
