Pubblicato il 2019/02/27| Lascia un commento

Kick-off la settimana scorsa di QAES (Qualità dell’Aria negli Edifici Scolastici), un progetto coordinato da IDM Südtirol – Alto Adige all’interno del Programma di Cooperazione Interreg V A “Italia – Svizzera 2014-2020”.

Il progetto – espressione di una collaborazione Alto Adige & Ticino – punta a sviluppare la cultura tecnica per il miglioramento della qualità dell’aria (IAQ) nelle scuole. Prevede lo sviluppo di soluzioni tecnologiche a basso impatto architettonico e di un approccio metodologico per classificare, progettare, realizzare, misurare e gestire le condizioni IAQ. L’obiettivo generale quello di risolvere la problematica della scarsa qualità dell’aria negli edifici scolastici; gli studenti vi passano buona parte del loro tempo, tale qualità incide sulla salute e sulla capacità di apprendimento. I partner svilupperanno soluzioni e metodologie in cooperazione con imprese nell’area transfrontaliera: impiantisti di ventilazione meccanica, serramentisti, sistemisti di gestione (ICT), aziende produttrici e distributrici di materiali indoor, studi di progettazione focalizzati sull’IAQ.

Il progetto prevede campagne di misure (prima e dopo interventi dimostrativi di risanamento), oltre all’elaborazione di linee guida per la progettazione e gestione dell’IAQ nelle scuole, a supporto di progettisti, aziende realizzatrici, gestori delle opere e utenti. Gli impatti previsti sono un sensibile aumento delle occasioni imprenditoriali nell’area transfrontaliera e uno sviluppo del know-how sul miglioramento dell’IAQ negli edifici, in particolare nelle scuole. Grazie alla collaborazione transfrontaliera, sarà possibile analizzare e confrontare realtà diverse, per acquisire conoscenze finalizzate allo sviluppo normativo ed economico di questo settore.

L’idea di progetto, nata all’interno del Gruppo di Lavoro “Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)” coordinato da IDM, è stata successivamente sviluppata in una proposta selezionata tra i 18 vincitori (su 41 proposte presentate) dell’asse Asse I: Competitività delle imprese del bando Interreg IT-CH. Con questo programma lo Stato e le Amministrazioni italiane e svizzere confermano il ruolo strategico della cooperazione transfrontaliera quale punto nevralgico nelle politiche alpine sempre più orientate a promuovere forme virtuose di economia e migliorare la qualità della vita delle persone che abita in queste aree.

La partnership, giudicata dai valutatori come perfettamente bilanciata tra i due territori, comprende dal lato altoatesino IDM Südtirol – Alto Adige (beneficiario capofila), responsabile della gestione e della comunicazione del progetto e della fase di indagine preliminare, Provincia Autonoma Bolzano con il Laboratorio Analisi aria e radioprotezione (Misurazione e monitoraggio), EURAC Research – Istituto per le Energie Rinnovabili (Sviluppo e implementazione delle soluzioni), Agenzia per l’Energia Alto Adige – CasaClima e Comune di Bolzano. Ulteriori stakeholders dell’Alto Adige sono l’Ufficio Manutenzione opere edili e l’Intendenza scolastica, sempre della Provincia di Bolzano. Sul lato svizzero, la Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI) è il capofila di una compagine “duale” ticinese che comprende il Cantone Ticino – Sezione della logistica, l’Agenzia Minergie Svizzera italiana, il Municipio della Città di Bellinzona e il Comune di Mendrisio.

I partner lavoreranno insieme per 3 anni con l’obiettivo generale di risolvere la problematica della scarsa qualità dell’aria negli edifici scolastici e gli obiettivi specifici di 1. creare e consolidare una competenza territoriale transfrontaliera tra le imprese su soluzioni – prodotti e servizi – per la qualità ambientale interna degli edifici; 2. aprire un mercato comune per le aziende del settore delle costruzioni nelle regioni coinvolte ed aumentarne la competitività sul mercato europeo, in particolare nelle aree di lingua tedesca; 3. migliorare i processi esistenti o creare nuovi processi per la risoluzione di una problematica generale comune ai due territori – qualità dell’aria interna alle scuole – e che ha implicazioni sociali, sanitarie, educative, economiche e politiche).

Il progettò è finanziato dal Programma di Cooperazione Interreg V A “Italia – Svizzera 2014-2020”.

Join us in Malaga for a journey into Sustainability 4.0

Pubblicato il 2018/10/02| Lascia un commento

Industry 4.0 is the name given to the new era of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, including the Internet of things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, cloud- and cognitive computing. This is or it is expected to be the fourth industrial revolution … Ok, nice, but what about sustainability? When it comes to sustainability, still today the cornerstones of the discussion are the concept of a sustainable development (1987, 31 years ago) and the triple bottom line (1994, 24 years ago)…

El Palmeral de Las Sorpresas (Junquera Arquitectos) – Port of Malaga

With RESTORE we are going further, envisioning a restorative/regenerative sustainability, where we are required to do “more good” instead of “less bad” if we really intend to subvert the current pace in the fight against the climate change, recovering an approach that is both human and natural. We know that the building industry is rapidly moving towards a full digitalization, where tools (the means) look sometimes more important than purposes. How can digitalization follow through this transition in the concept of sustainability? Is the new generation of skilled professionals of the digital design age capable to embed the new principles of sustainability in their every day work? How can we restore a balanced relationship between humans and nature – inside and outside our buildings, districts, communities – exploiting the new tools that industry 4.0 make us available? Is a (digital) sustainability 4.0 feasible?

Join us in Malaga next 15-19 October for the International Conference on Regenerative Design in the Digital Practice to discover it 😉

Regenerative Design in the Digital Practice.

Pubblicato il 2018/07/13| Lascia un commento

Apply for the 2nd RESTORE Training School 🙂

Supported by  the Institute of Architecture and Technology (IBT) of The Royal Danish Academy (KADK) and COST RESTORE Action CA16114.

Are you a European professional or a researcher with demonstrated experience in Regenerative Design? Or have you been applying Grasshopper based modelling of Outdoor Climate,  LCA-Circular Economy, or Indoor Wellbeing? Do you have experience in Grasshopper based integrated design? If the answer is yes to any of this question, and you would like to exchange and further develop your research and practical skills in an intensive design competition, this Training School in Malaga (15th to 19th of October, 2019) is for you. By the way, you will be co-funded with 800 euros to participate in 5 days of pure design and modelling,  digital tutorials from the international trainers and scientific conferences.

Click here for details and apply by August 5th, 2018.

The International Trainers

Emanuele Naboni (KADK), Chris Mackey (Ladybug Tools and Payette, USA),  Amanda Sturgeon (International Living Future Institute, USA), Negendhal Kristoffer (BIG, Denmark), Angela Loder (International WELL Building Institute, USA), Martin Brown(Fairsnape, UK), Ata Chokhachian (TU Munich, Germany), Daniele Santucci (TU Munich, Germany), Munch-Peterson Palle (Henning Larsen and KADK, Denmark), Alexander Hollberg (ETH Zürich, Switzerland), Panu Pasanen (One Click LCA, Finland), Wilmer Pasut (Eurac Research, Italy).

Regenerative Design: from Theory to the Digital Practice.

The aim of the conferences and the training school is the digital implementation of Regenerative Sustainable Design principles in the transformation of existing sites. Via the use of freeware digital parametric modelling, the challenges are to improve outdoor microclimate qualities and the indoor wellbeing, operating a transformation that responds to the criteria of Circular Economy.

The research and design project will represent, in this regard, an opportunity for enhancing life in all its manifestations. This presumes shifting the focus from a solely based human-centred design process into a nature-centred one, where “people and buildings can commit to a healthy relationship with the environment where they are placed”. Such approaches are discussed in morning conferences and in the afternoon scientific driven design developments.

The Barrio of La Luz, which was built after 1960 in Malaga is used as a reference. The site is a polluted heat-island, disconnected from sea breezes, with a spread hardscape, and with no presence of natural elements. Furthermore, the urban dwellers experience poor wellbeing due to the deprived quality of the units, being these modified by tenants often leading to obstructing natural ventilation and light. The projection of climate change will further exacerbate such outdoor and indoor conditions, and there is a need for an example of interventions that are scalable to the Spanish national level.

20 trainees will form four groups that will develop four competing transformation design proposals. The design that shows a qualitative creative solution with the higher simulated performances will be awarded. Criteria for evaluation will also include the quality of the digital modelling phases and the dynamics of development of the integrated strategies. To assess the projects’ success, the jury is composed of a mix of international and local professionals and scientist, with experience in architecture, performance and modelling.

Restorative Budapest.

Pubblicato il 2018/01/31| Lascia un commento

ABOUT RESTORE

RESTORE advocates for a paradigm shift towards restorative sustainability for new and existing buildings across Europe.
The built environment sector no longer has the luxury of being incrementally less bad, but, with urgency, needs to adopt net-positive, restorative sustainability thinking to incrementally do ‘more good’.
Within the built environment sustainability agenda a shift is occurring, from a narrow focus on building energy performance, mitigation strategies, and minimisation of environmental impacts to a broader framework that enriches places, people, ecology, culture, and climate at the core of the design task, with a particular emphasis on the salutogenic benefits towards health.
Sustainability in buildings, as understood today, is an inadequate measure for current and future architectural design, for it aims no higher than trying to make buildings “less bad”. Building on current European Standards restorative sustainability approaches can and will raise aspirations and deliver restorative outcomes.
RESTORE CA16114 is an EU COST Action network with 130+ participants across 38 countries, representing a wide spectrum of academic, client, design and construction individuals and organisations.

RESTORE CONFERENCE, BUDAPEST

The conference in Budapest will cover exciting new insights in restorative sustainability for new and existing buildings across Europe. The event will focus on Restorative Sustainability and Restorative Design.
Restorative Sustainability is an Evolving Agenda of Restorative Design, which introduces the evolving spectrum of paradigms, design challenges, opportunities, and perspectives for sustainable architecture and urban design. It discusses the knowledge, skills, and competence that should inform and orient the practice shift required by an approach to architecture informed by restorative sustainability.
Restorative Design focuses on processes, methods and tools for Restorative Design. Primarily based on case studies derived from workshops, it constitutes the core of the action and intends to provide “hands-on” guidance to the practice of restorative design.
