Smart Technology for the passive house
2013
Planning for sustainable policies aimed at identifying Smart urban spaces is determined by the parameters of Smart Cities model that encourage the production of intelligent building for construction energy efficient. The proposed article analyzes the effectiveness of the passive house in the Mediterranean area, offered by traditional building techniques, proposing a re-reading technology for the detection of a smart design methodology that can lead to the use of technologies with high energy efficiency.
Dai Bright Green Buildings alle Bright Cities
2019
La crescente urbanizzazione e soprattutto la crescente richiesta di maggiore efficienza nel consumo energetico e nella gestione delle risorse naturali rende sempre più attuale affrontare in modo innovativo e sostenibile la costruzione degli edifici. In questa prospettiva, sono emerse alcune linee di ricerca che si riconducono ai concetti di smart, intelligent, e green/sustainable buildings. Partendo da questa analisi, l’articolo si propone di evidenziare come sia possibile sintetizzare gli aspetti di qualità ambientale e di controllo integrato di un edificio nel concetto di bright green buildings e come, sia quindi necessario delineare un quadro di riferimento concettuale più ampio. Questo …
Interventi migliorativi in acciaio a tutela delle opere di interesse storico-monumentale dal rischio sismico
2007
The research concerns the analysis of structural behaviour of some historic-monumental buildings in which steel structures are used for the seismic protection. A dynamic model has been made to individuate the macro-element with an high seismic risk, that is, for church studied, the drum-dome system. Then a scaled model has been tested to determinate the evolution of the lesions, the retrofitting works, that are constituted by steel frames, bare or braced, inserted inside door/window holes of the drum-dome system, and the variation structural ductility. An elastic linear analysis, with a FEM software, has been developed for other type of buildings, in which the vertical structures are made w…
Procedure for Safety Assessment and BIM Modelling of an Historical Complex Structure through a Macroelement Approach: The Building “Molino-Pastificio…
2022
The structural assessment of existing historical structures is a complex task due to the inner main difficulty in making up reliable models for structural analysis, able to include mechanical and geometrical nonlinearities, existing damage, complex configurations and arrangements of materials. This task becomes more difficult in mixed RC-masonry structures, which structural modelling can be particularly tough due to the different connections and interactions between structural members and materials. This paper presents the case study of a multi-storey mixed Reinforced Concrete (RC)- masonry historical structure, namely the former mill “Molino-Pastificio Soresi” building, located in Partinic…
Basic assumptions for introducing circular solutions in the buildings sector
2016
Tradycyjne, linearne modele biznesowe są jedną z głównych przyczyn braku zrównoważonego rozwoju, nadmiernego wykorzystywania zasobów nieodnawialnych i energii, a także nadmiernego wytwarzania odpadów. Odpowiedź na te problemy stanowi koncepcja gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, której celem jest poprawa wydajności w gospodarowaniu zasobami i energią w każdej fazie cyklu życia produktu (usługi). Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie, co może być uznawane w sektorze budownictwa za produkt w ramach gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, a także, jakie rodzaje takich produktów i / lub usług mogłyby być potencjalnie wykorzystane przez firmy doradcze funkcjonujące między innymi w sektorze budo…
Preliminary Evaluation of Plasmix Compound from Plastics Packaging Waste for Reuse in Bituminous Pavements
2021
Finding an appropriate technical solution for reusing waste plastics is crucial for creating a circular plastic economy. Although mechanical recycling is the best option for recycling post-consumer plastics, some heterogeneous mixed plastics cannot be recycled to produce secondary material due to their very low properties. In this case, alternative routes should be considered in order to limit their disposal as much as possible. Therefore, in order to solve the environmental problems in the landfills of plastic waste recycling, and to improve the mechanical performance of bitumen for road pavement, the reuse of these post-consumer plastic wastes are preliminarily evaluated for the modificat…

Teachers can be influential change agents in transforming their schools if they regularly reflect on their pedagogical practices, looking for improvements that will help all learners reach their fu...
Incompiuto, una nuova linea di partenza : progettare la differenza per un futuro sostenibile
2020
Le contemporanee costruzioni incompiute, fattispecie diffusa globalmente dell’ambiente costruito in abbandono, solo di recente sono uscite dal tabù in cui le relega l’ineludibile condizione di epifania di un fallimento. Senza entrare nel merito dei significati teoretici ad esse attribuiti (oscillanti tra i poli sovente mistificatori dell’esaltazione e della demonizzazione) e guardando alle tendenze individuabili in alcune realizzazioni degli ultimi lustri, l’articolo intende contribuire alla definizione di un approccio analitico e progettuale orientato ai multidimensionali obiettivi della sostenibilità, per rispondere in modo concreto a molteplici portatori di interesse e istanze della coll…
Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…
2022
Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…
