Description
Summary:The topic of sustainable rehabilitation of historic buildings is currently really important in the town of L'Aquila. After the earthquake of 2009, the project aims in the field of energy efficiency and the use of innovative technologies and materials are integrated with the necessary reconstruction interventions and with the refurbishment of the heritage buildings. The former hospital of San Salvatore is a building complex located in the historic center of L'Aquila. It has been left devoid of any function since the end of the twentieth century, so it has undergone a gradual degradation, aggravated by the earthquake damage. The main purpose of this paper is to define a methodological approach for the sustainable rehabilitation of the historic buildings, by retracing the steps of assessment and analysis addressed in the refunctionalization and energy-efficient rehabilitation of the former hospital of San Salvatore in L'Aquila.
