Multidisciplinary Performance Assessment of an Eco-Sustainable RC-Framed Skin for the Integrated Upgrading of Existing Buildings

Recent earthquakes have highlighted a general inadequacy of the existing building stock in Italy and need to address this critical issue by increasing its structural resilience. At same time, problem energy consumption residential commercial buildings is increasingly significant incompatible with environmental targets set governments. Considering all aforementioned aspects, seismic upgrading buildings, based on use an eco-friendly sustainable technology, has become more relevant different intervention approaches been developed. This paper aims provide multidisciplinary approach for performance assessment RC-framed skin integrated refurbishment buildings. A preliminary description such technology provided particular attention simultaneous improvement (e.g., seismic) non-structural energy, acoustic) performances issues concerning limitation invasiveness interruption building. Technological details situ installation phases are described special regard connection interaction Procedures upgraded performances, terms capacity thermo-hygrometric acoustic defined applied selected basic cell structure. The feasibility sustainability proposed finally investigated means holistic Life Cycle Assessment impact Cost economic evaluation. Finally, results from critically discussed relating aspects technological issues.
