Retrofit Concept
First priority in the renovation curriculum was the minimisation of energy needs with the use of energy efficiency measures and integration of solar technology ensuring simultaneously thermal and visual comfort conditions both indoors and outdoors. Key feature of the renovation design was to accommodate energy efficiency and RES systems and techniques in an integrated design without altering the facades of the building. The energy refurbishment design followed the norms and restrictions foreseen by the General Building Code for listed buildings of this type.
