In the past decades several researches have been related to energy saving and emissions reduction. The technologies that exploit passive natural ventilation, like ventilated roofs façades, recognized as effective methods provide comfort. Ventilated façades represent dry assembled coating systems for buildings, traditionally made of panels in different materials. Very few façade with plaster finishes are already present on building market. potentiality their design solution can be considered,...
Detailed construction analysis is essential to the compatible energy improvement of historic buildings. In-situ measurements are crucial for diagnosis but their use limited, especially in vernacular architecture. This paper exposes development a hygrothermal and mechanical database Sicilian walls. The proposed method, applied eleven centres, based on investigation those masonry features, which recur local contexts. Preliminary results concern case study Petralia Sottana, where first set...
