Integrated Deep Renovation of Existing Buildings with Prefabricated Shell Exoskeleton

The European goal to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 has further put the focus on construction sector, which is responsible for great impacts environment, and new sustainable solutions renovate existing building stock are currently under development. In this paper, AdESA (Adeguamento Energetico Sismico ed Architettonico, Italian) system, a holistic retrofit technique integrated renovation of buildings, presented. system was developed by consortium enterprises universities applied pilot building. consists dry, modular flexible shell exoskeleton that implements different layers depending needs (cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels structural retrofit, thermal insulation energy efficiency amelioration, claddings architectural restyling). order foster actual sustainability, solution contextually targets eco-efficiency, safety resilience. To end, not only couples interventions reduce operating costs, but it also conceived compliance with life cycle thinking (LCT) principles throughout remaining service (from time end its life). designed be easily mountable demountable allow reuse/recycling components at adopting macro-prefabricated dry standardized connections, damage caused earthquakes reducing allowed inter-story drift, amassing possible into sacrificial replaceable elements. paper describes from multidisciplinary perspective effective application deep an gymnasium hall.
