Renewable Energies and Architectural Heritage: Advanced Solutions and Future Perspectives

The current legislative framework and the recent energy crisis ask for massive applications of renewable sources (RES) in built environment to reduce demand, environmental emissions, costs. uncritical application these policies, especially on architectural heritage, could generate serious conservation issues, compromising their heritage values, biodiversity, traditional appearance, materiality. Thus, there is an urgent call balance preservation with production using clear rules, criteria, heritage-compatible technologies. present study aims at defining updated overview solar, wind, geothermal energy, bioenergy heritage. A deep literature review studies published years 2020–2023 has been performed, identifying main topics, challenges, advanced solutions, future perspectives. Acceptability, design cutting-edge technologies are also illustrated through case better understand practical approaches.
