Energia, innovazione tecnologica, processi manutentivi: il patrimonio storico tra istanze conservative e updates prestazionali / Energy, technological innovation and maintenance processes: historical built heritage between conservation request and performance update

Preservation of identities and performance adaptation to new instances forms the cultural horizons of the studies within the METRICS project - Methods and technologies for the management and refurbishment of historical centers and quality buildings - by Architectural Technology researchers of the Department of Architecture DiARC, University of Naples “Federico II”. In a careful approach to the synergy between experts in different disciplines, the interdisciplinary research work developed within the High Technology District for Sustainable Construction STRESS, has been the occasion for an action aimed at the realignment of the technological culture to the needs and values of contemporary society. The objective of de ning innovative methods and technologies to support the sustainability and safety in the historical centers of the cities has been developed addressing particularly emerging issues in the intervention of energy retro t, of technological and environmental refurbishment, of management and maintenance of settlements, in a scenario of growing demand for innovative features that can accentuate the dynamic character of this built stock. The proposal of a virtuous relationship between scienti c research, enterprise and government informs the work presented, which is enriched with the results of other experimental studies, proposed here as emblematic cases of possible and sustainable actions on built heritage. It is a story of many voices that provides skills and knowledge gained in the area of Architectural Technology studies with the scienti c progress developed by the METRICS partners.
