The Energy improvement of school buildings: Analysis and proposals for action
The objective of this research is to identify a tool of analysis applicable to school buildings that, through simple input information, can make immediate assessment reduction of energy consumption for heating and associated reduction of CO2emission, as a result of improvements. The definition of a methodology of analysis allows to evaluate preliminarily the energy performance of the whole school building identifying the most problematic buildings and dividing into groups based on the construction and geometry.
Proposal of a methodology for achieving a LEED O+M certification in historic buildings
Nowadays resources are running out quickly, it's necessary to consider how the construction industry influences the environment using different materials and sources during all the building's life cycle. For this reason, in every transformation phases it's necessary to consider concepts as sustainability and green buildings. These are diffused from hundreds kind of green assessment tools, developed to measure sustainability goals in building sector and to compare the project with possible best practices or other green buildings.

Sustainability of a Historical Building Renovation Design through the Application of LEED® Rating System
This paper presents a case study of a sustainable certification of a building renovation. The new LEED® rating system, GBC Historic BuildingTM protocol, proposed by Green Building Council Italy and addressed to Italian historical heritage, was applied to the High School "A. Canova" in Treviso, chosen because it was built before 1945 and it required a restoration work.
Building Renovation: Which Kind of Guidelines could be Proposed for Policy Makers and Professional Owners?
IEA IBC Annex 56 methodology provides the basis for the assessment and evaluation of energy related renovation options of residential building stock, first and foremost with respect to cost, energy use and carbon emissions. Furthermore, it allows also for a broader approach going beyond cost effective reduction of carbon emissions and energy use by taking into account co-benefits achieved in a renovation process.
Environmental Performances of a Timber-concrete Prefabricated Composite Wall System☆
The improvement of environmental performance in building construction could be achieved by prefabrication. This study quantifies and compares the environmental impacts of a Concrete Glulam Framed Panel (CGFP): the basic configuration of this precast component consists in a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) frame structure supporting a thin reinforced concrete slab with an interior insulation panel and covered by finishing layers.
