Resource circularity, solar energy and bioclimatics for the Climate Neutral historic building

This paper reports the results of research activities on the redevelopment of the historic built heritage in the urban context, a strategic and challenging field of investigation to achieve climate neutrality, sustainability and long-term resource conservation. The objective of the research is the development of a replicable and adaptable intervention model aimed specifically at historic buildings, which combines, according to the Cradle to Cradle approach, innovative circular and environmentally friendly technologies and systems, including passive bioclimatic systems and active integrated solar systems for energy production from RES. Among the research pilot cases, the contribution describes the experimentation for scenarios and gradients of integration and transformation of the existing building on the Ex Filanda in Rome.
