The study refers to the ongoing research, aimed at defining a methodology that supports interventions that improve the resilience of the built environment, in a world of climate change. While it is known how the construction sector contributes to climate change, on the other hand, we also know that climate change substantially affects the resilience of the built environment. This situation therefore calls for the development of methodologies and tools useful for controlling the different dynamics that define relationships and synergies. With the use of new indicators and adaptive design approaches in sensitive environmental areas, we aim to investigate both "current conditions" and the applicability of strategies and solutions aimed at managing climate change in urban space, employing a new set of criteria. In particular, it was considered important to direct efforts towards the definition of adaptive envelopes, capable of controlling the two-way relationships between buildings and their context which influence the urban microclimate interdependently.
The expected results are the following: the definition of a repertoire of urban assets that "trigger" climate change phenomena; the development of new indicators, to detect conditions of climate change in contexts; the definition of envelope models (useful for retrofits) with "plant-sensor" integration logics, for a SMART approach in the microclimate control of the built environment.
Indicatori e criteri di progettazione adattiva dell’ambiente costruito resiliente in area mediterranea per la sfida dei cambiamenti climatici
Lo studio fa riferimento a una ricerca, in corso, finalizzata alla definizione di una metodologia che supporti gli interventi che migliorano la resilienza dell’ambiente costruito, in regime di cambiamento climatico. Se da un lato è noto quanto il settore delle costruzioni contribuisca ai cambiamenti climatici, dall’altro, si sa che questi incidono in modo sostanziale sulla resilienza dell’ambiente costruito. Questo aspetto richiede quindi lo sviluppo di metodologie e strumenti utili a controllare le differenti dinamiche che definiscono relazioni e sinergie. Attraverso l’uso di nuovi indicatori e approcci di progettazione adattiva in aree ambientali sensibili, l'obiettivo è indagare con nuovi criteri, sia “condizioni in atto” che l'applicabilità di strategie e soluzioni finalizzate alla gestione del cambiamento climatico dello spazio urbano. In particolare, si è ritenuto importante orientare gli sforzi verso la definizione di involucri adattivi, capaci di controllare le relazioni biunivoche tra edificio e contesto che influenzano il microclima urbano in modo interdipendente.
I risultati attesi sono: Definizione di un repertorio degli assetti urbani che "innescano" fenomeni di cambiamento climatico; sviluppo di nuovi indicatori, per rilevare condizioni di cambiamento climatico nei contesti; definizione di modelli di involucro (utili ai retrofit), con logiche di integrazione “impianti-sensori”, per un approccio SMART nel controllo microclimatico del costruito.
