“…In both strategies, the existing mechanical ventilation with a heat recovery system is kept providing minimum fresh air of 25 m 3 /h according to NBN D50-001. Both strategies are among widely available (TRL~9) and applicable HVAC systems in temperate climates [73]. All the input values to model S01 and S02 are listed in Table 2.…”

“…Interventions aimed at increasing the building thermal insulation, cool/green roofs and facades, solar shading/glazing, ventilated roofs and facades, cool envelope materials, and the organization of the space in the proximity of buildings by using nature-based solutions (such as the presence of trees that increases air flow and reduces the impact of solar radiation) represent some example of strategies to mitigate buildings coping with excessive heat in hot-spot zones and buildings overheating, which represent a threat to the health and life of occupants [62,63]. A combination of cooling strategies with different capacities is important to obtain resilient cooling (by using low-energy and low-carbon cooling solutions) of buildings [63]. These building-related resilient strategies represent the main aim of actions against climate change and the consequent hazards addressed by the recently formed International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy in Buildings and Community Programme (EBC) Annex 80 "Resilient Cooling of Buildings" [64].…”

Residential Buildings’ Real Estate Values Linked to Summer Surface Thermal Anomaly Patterns and Urban Features: A Florence (Italy) Case Study

et al. 2022

Climate-change-related extreme events impact ecosystems, people, economy, and infrastructures, with important consequences on the real estate market as well. This study aims to investigate the variation of residential buildings’ real estate values in a historic Italian city in relation to the summer surface thermal anomaly pattern and urban features surrounding buildings. Open data from remote sensing products and the national database of the Revenue Agency of Italy were used. Real estate values of residential buildings were spatially analyzed in four urban belts, and the association with daytime summer surface hot- and cool-spot zones was studied through odds ratio (OR) statistic. Urban features (impervious area, tree cover, grassland area, and water body) surrounding residential buildings with different real estate values were also analyzed. Considering the whole Florentine municipality, 13.0% of residential buildings fell into hot-spot zones (only 0.6% into cool-spot ones), characterized by very low tree cover surfaces (generally <1%), most of which were in the central belt (37% of all buildings in central belt). Almost 10% of these buildings belonged to the highest market value class revealing a positive association (OR = 1.53) with hot-spot zones. This study provides useful information to plan targeted building interventions to avoid a probable decrease of the value of residential properties in high heat-related risk areas.

“…This microclimatic effect is due to shielding from evapotranspiration. Zhang et al (2021) estimate the capacity of different grey and green infrastructures and for the latter, the potential of different types of greenery. In flood management and drainage, green areas can be designed to retain water in the case of heavy rainfall, reducing surface runoff and increasing the infiltration capacity of the soil.…”

From the building refurbishment to the urban regeneration of the Quartiere Cogne of Aosta. A multidisciplinary approach

The Quartiere Cogne was erected at the beginning of the last century to house workers and managers employed at the new steel works. The whole neighbourhood is now affected by a wide-ranging transformation project which combines the features of aspects which really pertain to architectural building refurbishment within a broader framework of urban regeneration. Part of this project is financed by the National Programme for the Quality of Living. The design develops dwelling models aimed at strengthening the social structure at various levels (family, block, community, neighbourhood, local associations), making the most of local features. It includes initiatives to foster inclusion based on a broad network of infrastructures and services. An important feature is transition spaces, semi-private and semi-public, in which the idea and the quality of community is challenged. The aim is to give more natural and sustainable responses to instances of sharing and common use for collective housing in the Alpine area.
