Abstract
In Europe, research has the objective to produce guidelines for building refurbishment of modern heritage. In particular, the issue of energetic improvement is analysed according to characteristics of existing heritage and local climate. In fact, it is possible to observe that, locally, building production after World War II is composed of common building types built with recurrent constructive techniques and technological solutions. Based on this, a research has been initiated with the objective to identify procedures and the sequence of actions to be applied for rehabilitation of modern heritage buildings throughout the Italian territory. This paper reports first results of the assessment of the energy requirement for cooling and heating, for different interventions on the envelope, for a very common building type in the existing modern heritage buildings in Eastern Sicily.
