Abstract

The new building for Majorana High School has been developed with the aim of spreading sustainable construction methodology in Italy. The European Union established these regulation through the Energy Performance Building 2002/91/CE and EU Directive 2010/31. These aim to diffuse local and national regulations to guarantee high the efficient buildings, using appropriate policies which consider local climate conditions. From 31st December 2018, we must start building zero energy public buildings. The reduction of energy consumption and the attention to environmental requirements are the main objectives of the Majorana Hig School Project. The design concept of the building has been characterized by the adoption of solutions which improve solar gains and natural ventilation. During the stage of design we simulated every energy performance of the building, choosing the system which would most reduce energy consumption. During the first design stage we employed an energy concept which corresponded to the features of the functional plan, the site, the local conditions weather and climate. On the basis of those parameters, the shape and consequently the structure were defined. The construction of this new school building incorporates energy efficient measures, which are not only current innovations for the actual state of art but are also replicable in other schools in Italy. The importance of this project is the introduction of some specific, innovative, energy saving techniques, which set new energy, environmental and health standards for school buildings. In this framework, the following measures have been incorporated: - An appropriate orientation of the building and envelope design. - Ventilated façades and highly insulated building. - Use of natural ventilation thought a good design. - Use of light shelf for even distribution of daylight. - Use of a radiant floor for heating. - Integration of renewable energy, in the form of photovoltaic and solar thermal panels in the roof.
