    Questo articolo mostra i risultati di una indagine compiuta in ambiente scolastico e basata su un questionario di tipo adattivo, mirata alla valutazione del microclima luminoso e del grado di soddisfazione dello stesso da parte degli utenti. Attraverso simulazioni, sono state preventivamente individuate alcune aule all’interno della struttura scolastica, dove le condizioni potevano risultare critiche, sia per il verificarsi di fenomeni di abbagliamento, che di non rispetto dei valori consigliati dalla vigente normativa. La metodologia proposta prevede l’utilizzo di rilevamenti strumentali, di simulatori e la somministrazione di un questionario agli studenti delle aule in oggetto. Il questionario, basato sul modello adattivo, è stato articolato per il rilevamento di dati strettamente soggettivi (postazione occupata, visus...) e di dati riguardanti l’ambiente e il rapporto degli utenti con esso (difficoltà nello svolgimento del compito visivo, frequenza media annuale di utilizzo delle schermature, ecc...). I risultati del questionario, mappati secondo rappresentazione cromatica sulle postazioni occupate, mostrano elevati gradi di insoddisfazione, nonostante le misure strumentali abbiano riscontrato valori quantitativamente accettabili. Una ulteriore simulazione, mostra la possibilità di interventi correttivi, non invasivi, per il controllo della illuminazione naturale, i cui risultati mostrano un abbassamento quantitativo dei valori ottimali, ma un netto miglioramento qualitativo delle condizioni luminose microclimatiche. Il processo sviluppato, che vede il confronto e l’integrazione tra metodologia tradizionale e sperimentale, consente di valutare gli indici di scostamento che, risultano essere elevati per la totalità del tempo di occupazione delle aule

    Asset rating: Disagreement between the results obtained from software for energy certification.

    The general practice for establishing the consumption in asset ratings of a building consists of entrusting the energy analysis of the shell of a building to calculating software. The building is the subject of an extremely complicated analysis, and there are many variables at stake, is it more correct to aim for a simplification of the problem, in the knowledge that behind every analytical formula there is the possibility of an evaluation error, or is it better to aim for calculation models that are more and more detailed in an attempt to succeed in predicting the real energy behaviour of the building ? Depending on the objective that has been set, it is a good idea to identify the tool best adapted to reaching it: it is not correct to use simplified calculation methods for every analysis, but not correct to apply dynamic simulation models unconditionally either. This article shows the different predictive results of energy performance implemented on a sample building and obtained using different software and methods of calculation

    The problem of energy quality control in buildings was officially recognised for the first time at a European level in the EEC directive no. 93/76 of 1993. This directive represented the formal act of an undertaking to promote actions that would lead to a reduction in global carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions. Article 2 of this directive established that states should carry out programmes concerning the energy certification of buildings, which were consistent in the description of their energy parameters, so as to allow future users of a building to know and understand its energy efficiency. Italy acknowledged this directive, along with the subsequent European directive 2002/91/CE on energy efficiency in the building industry, with the Legislative Decree 192 of 2005

    Solar cooling: study on the technical-economic feasibility of a plant in a hotel.

    Solar air conditioning allows more energy savings than air conventional conditioning plants. Just like the thermal solar systems for heat production destined to large consumers, solar air conditioning represents a technology that turns out to be economically more favorable. Its employment for the summer air conditioning of buildings represents today an ulterior and very interesting field of application. This article shows the results of a study on the technical-economic feasibility of a solar cooling plant realized in a hotel in South Italy. Just like the air conditioning load produced by electric power, hot water produced by thermal solar plants has a periodic character which, in both cases, is higher in the summer period. The coincidence on a yearly base of these two factors makes solar cooling particularly interesting both from the environmental and economic point of view, involving a possible future and natural drop of the plant set-up costs. Greater accessibility to the available technical opportunities and, above all, to the incentives for the necessary investments could accelerate the development of this remarkably interesting technology

    In sizable environments, such as the collective areas of a big university building, characterised by very long corridors, large hallways and broad glazed surfaces, the daytime illumination factor is often only excellent near to the latter, due to their predominantly horizontal, rather than vertical, nature. His study, which has been carried out thanks to a simulation software, shows the results of a correlation between light contributions, come out from the wide glass surface and those of a big skylight which cross lenghtways the main part of the building. Such results have been compared with some instrumental measurements considering the shifting and getting from them important informations on simulations reliability
