Energy assessment and retrofitting of Mediterranean historical buildings require a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach, involving several integrated and correlated aspects. Among them: environmental and typological features of the settlement, historical-cultural values and technical-technological performances of construction materials and components, transformation boundaries of the architectural envelope, demand for consumption and emission savings and indoor comfort. The paper is going to focus on the abovementioned aspects, also by presenting some research results on historical sea towns in the province of Bari, in order to identify suitable methods, tools and solutions, which might address conservation of the original identity and quality, as well as potential transformation toward higher performance levels

Abstract
Energy assessment and retrofitting of Mediterranean historical buildings require a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach, involving several integrated and correlated aspects. Among them: environmental and typological features of the settlement, historical-cultural values and technical-technological performances of construction materials and components, transformation boundaries of the architectural envelope, demand for consumption and emission savings and indoor comfort. The paper is going to focus on the abovementioned aspects, also by presenting some research results on historical sea towns in the province of Bari, in order to identify suitable methods, tools and solutions, which might address conservation of the original identity and quality, as well as potential transformation toward higher performance levelsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
