Course program
The course deals with the theme of sustainable design, with particular attention to the redevelopment of existing buildings as a fundamental strategy for the regeneration of current urban contexts, deepening the themes and knowledge on technologies, materials and technical solutions for the reconversion of building structures. characterized by poor ecological compatibility and poor energy-environmental efficiency in eco-compatible and eco-efficient buildings, able to respond adequately to the current environmental demands for controlling the impacts in the atmosphere, limiting climate-altering emissions, microclimatic quality of urban environments and saving of energy resources.
Within this general framework, specific methodological approaches will be defined which, starting from appropriate analyzes of the urban and environmental context of reference (analyzes relating to the microclimatic, biophysical and anthropic environmental system), object of specific lessons, define substantial and fundamental inputs. of the technical-design processes, in particular through the identification of environmental criticalities to be solved and potentialities to be used for the purpose of a bio-ecological and energetic improvement of the built context. The technical and technological aspects related to energy and bioclimatic retrofitting strategies, central strategies for effective regeneration and redevelopment of urban contexts and buildings in terms of eco-efficiency and low environmental impact will therefore be studied in depth.
The lessons will be divided into the following themes:
• Sustainable Building for Greener Cities
General characters and principles, examples of best practice
• The knowledge and understanding of the specific characteristics of the context as a fundamental input for urban regeneration and building redevelopment operations.
Analysis of the reference environmental context:
- Analysis of the microclimatic system (climatic-environmental components; analysis tools and methodologies)
- Analysis of the physical layout of the places (biophysical system, anthropic system, criteria and methods of analysis)
- Analysis of the reference building context (analysis of the energy-environmental behavior of buildings; analysis of the performance and requirements expressed by the different classes of demand; analysis of the technological characteristics)
• Technologies for bio-ecological requalification and energy and environmental rebalancing of the built context: technical solutions, materials, technological innovation.
- Technologies, materials and technical solutions for the bio-ecological and energy efficiency of the built structures (with particular reference to the conditions of healthiness and environmental compatibility of urban spaces and confined spaces)
- Technologies, materials and technical solutions for solving and mitigating the critical environmental conditions of the built structures (e.g. inadequate sunshine and ventilation conditions in both summer and winter, such as to determine situations of discomfort and high energy demands for indoor microclimatic rebalancing, etc.)
- Technologies, materials and technical solutions for the use and optimization of the environmental potential of the built structures (e.g. environmental conditions favorable to the use of natural environmental flows and natural operating principles for the air conditioning of buildings, etc.)

Prerequisites
The requirement is design skills consistent with the teaching year in which the course is placed, knowledge of architectural technology (acquired through the Architectural Technology I and II courses and through the technological design laboratories), a basic knowledge of technical physics and/or environmental technical physics and, more generally, the ability to operate through multidisciplinary approaches (skills generally acquired and can be acquired in the design laboratories).

Frequency
During the classroom teaching phase, it is important to attend all scheduled lectures. During the exercise review phase (typically one review per week in the final month of the course), class attendance may be decided by the student based on the progress of the assignment being reviewed.
Exam mode
Analysis of the exercise project and assessment of the ability to describe the design process carried out in line with the course's learning objectives.
Lesson mode
The course includes classroom teaching on all the topics covered in the program and a specific exercise on a building context of the student's choice (possible use of a project developed in the courses or in the design workshops).
