Abstract

The concept of GeoCluster is a virtual homogeneous trans-regional area where strong similarities are found in terms of climate, environmental context, culture, construction typologies. It allows to export relevant results and guidelines, studied in a specific area, in others trans-regional areas with strong similarities. Present research regards the modern building heritage constituting framed buildings that represent, at the international level, a large part of the existing heritage and is characterized by poor performance in environmental and energetic aspects. In particular, this paper identifies guidelines to approach the optimization of the intervention for the energetic restoration of a building's heritage belonging to the GeoCluster that we call “Mediterranean”.
