If the Net Zero Energy Building standard is a suitable and achievable target for new constructions, adequate solutions in order to improve the quality of the existing building stock are still under investigation. The paper focuses on the potential benefit of transformation processes based on green infill and densification strategies at the ground level as start-up options for renewal interventions. The study will deepen the thermal, energetic, acoustic and functional effects deriving from the application of green surfaces and architectural additions and will also define the consequences on water management at urban scale.

Abstract
If the Net Zero Energy Building standard is a suitable and achievable target for new constructions, adequate solutions in order to improve the quality of the existing building stock are still under investigation. The paper focuses on the potential benefit of transformation processes based on green infill and densification strategies at the ground level as start-up options for renewal interventions. The study will deepen the thermal, energetic, acoustic and functional effects deriving from the application of green surfaces and architectural additions and will also define the consequences on water management at urban scale.File in questo prodotto:
