The European Directive 2012/27 on energy efficiency requires the Member States to reduce consumption and to adopt strategies for the rehabilitation of buildings. The Italian territory is characterized by the presence of a wide public and private building heritage characterized by low levels of quality and efficiency, where rehabilitation energy is a fundamental priority. Many buildings, including schools, made before the 70s, are responsible for a high energy consumption. An adjustment to the standards required by the regulations is now necessary, but to improve the levels of performance of each building an adequate knowledge of the actual state and a careful examination of the energy characteristics of the system casing/plant cannot be ignored. This paper proposes a method of analysis for the monitoring of energy performance using an expeditious model easily transferable to any urban reality and aimed at the evaluation, characterization and representation of the energy consumption of buildings. Everything was tested and applied to several schools of Potenza (Italy), realized during different periods and with different materials and construction techniques. We have performed comparisons between theoretical and experimental analysis on the system casing/plant, in addition to energy audits essential to define strategies of energy conversion of the entire complex, intervening on the casing and on the plant.

Abstract
The European Directive 2012/27 on energy efficiency requires the Member States to reduce consumption and to adopt strategies for the rehabilitation of buildings. The Italian territory is characterized by the presence of a wide public and private building heritage characterized by low levels of quality and efficiency, where rehabilitation energy is a fundamental priority. Many buildings, including schools, made before the 70s, are responsible for a high energy consumption. An adjustment to the standards required by the regulations is now necessary, but to improve the levels of performance of each building an adequate knowledge of the actual state and a careful examination of the energy characteristics of the system casing/plant cannot be ignored. This paper proposes a method of analysis for the monitoring of energy performance using an expeditious model easily transferable to any urban reality and aimed at the evaluation, characterization and representation of the energy consumption of buildings. Everything was tested and applied to several schools of Potenza (Italy), realized during different periods and with different materials and construction techniques. We have performed comparisons between theoretical and experimental analysis on the system casing/plant, in addition to energy audits essential to define strategies of energy conversion of the entire complex, intervening on the casing and on the plant.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
