Abstract Fibrous materials are among those most used for the thermal and acoustic insulation of building envelopes also suitable a wide range applications. In construction, demand products with low environmental impact — in line Green Deal challenge European Community is growing, but market still mostly oriented towards traditional products, missing many opportunities using waste from existing industrial production. The paper presents experimental results new construction interior design,...
Sheep wool is a natural material, already used for thermal insulation of pitched roofs, in the form soft mats. The paper presents research project called Cartonlana, concerning new sheep wool-based product with two main innovative features: it stiff panel, unlike existing mats; has low environmental impact, using local recycled wool, otherwise disposed as special waste. Physical and chemical properties Cartonlana panel were determined by measurements, order to demonstrate its effectiveness...
FITNESs, Fibre Tessili Naturali per l'Edilizia Sostenibile (Natural Textile Fibers for Sustainble Building), is a research project concerning an experimental hemp and sheep wool insulation panel. The new panel has two main innovative features: unlike the already existing mats, it semi-rigid product low environmental impact, as shown by Life Cycle Assessment. FITNESs panels are particularly suitable eco-building sector, they 100% natural, recyclable made with by-products from local production...
The factory automation community is looking toward the devices profile for Web services (DPWS) set of service standards to provide a orientated architecture (SOA) enablement elements. This paper examines issues surrounding application and future development DPWS on production line machines their integration with distributed enterprise applications. Issues raised reflect need more defining generic approach Service in ontologies that support it. concept an lifecycle introduced aid this from...
The article deal with an ongoing research aimed at developing advanced self-bearing panel, fitted for thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings, derived from the reuse recycling local sheep wool. development a supply chain environmentally friendly products (a self bearing panel made 100% wool) encourages, on one hand, use material so far classified in Italy as special waste and, other, provides new opportunities sheepfarming that it is now going through economic recession, positive...
As the semiconductor industry matures a paradigm shift occurs, away from technology-push to more application-driven exploitation. In this paper, applications are discussed that describe achievements along road towards 'disappearing electronics'. Appliances and devices disappear into environment of individual; instead, services come focus (W.Weber et al., 2003). System solutions key development. They lead significant improvement human-machine interface. Along line, we present important...
It is expected that future shop-floors will be populated by thousands of networked embedded devices. Those not only communicate using IP (as in TCP/IP), but also feature some autonomy, allowing them to collaborate among themselves and with enterprise systems. As they can offer both their mechatronic higher-level functions as a service support dynamic deployment new code, execute business logic locally, for classes processes are executed collaboratively back-end While parts process still the...
The valorisation of the traditional architecture is a key strategy to improve economic development rural areas. activities some G.A.L. (Local Action Group) Piedmont Region included creation guides focused on refurbishment architecture, improving also energy efficiency buildings. paper describes targets, methodology and main results concerning adoption outline monitoring project, aimed assess strengths, weakness opportunities, in order overall effectiveness measures investments.
This article outlines the structure and contents of guidelines for humanisation care facilities, which were produced from research project The Humanisation Healthcare Facilities: new Dimension Hospital Architecture conducted by Tesis Inter-university Research Centre at University Florence DINSE Department Politecnico di Torino Ministry Health. work used a requirement-based approach that analysed activities requirements expressed certain different users. For example, on areas healthcare...
Abstract. The work presented is the achievement of a master degree project, developed at Politecnico di Torino. paper aims to provide standards for formulation and mixing earth-based mortars, rehabilitation historic buildings Roero area, in Piemonte region. presents large architectural heritage, consisting mainly fired or earth bricks rural residential buildings, which was anciently protected using lime plasters perfectly integrated with local landscape environment colours appearance. In...
The scientific work of Giuseppe Ciribini (1913-1990), professor emeritus Technology Architecture, trace a period more than fifty years transformations in the field construction and architecture, including Second World War, reconstruction, up to post-industrial era, characterized by profound social changes technological innovations. It is recognized maturation thought articulated always projected into future, which has profoundly changed opening it wider research perspectives.
An age-friendly city is the result of an integrated approach centred on people’s needs, where user satisfaction main goal design, both in public and private spaces. “Age-friendliness” must be founded a multidisciplinary approach: if constructions represented (outdoor spaces buildings; transportation; housing) are “hardware” (tangible), then community (social participation; respect social inclusion; civic participation employment; communication information) “software (intangible). Tangible...
