Energy audit of public buildings: the energy consumption of a University with modern and historical buildings. Some results.

摘要

The reduction of energy consumption in public buildings is a priority indicated in European Directives and national legislative documents. Some aspects of this problem are presented and discussed in reference to the University of Pavia, one of the oldest universities in Europe, founded in 1361, which has a 40% of her total built area represented by building built before the II World War. The energy audit of the whole University building stock, the intervention potential, and particularly the energy consumption reduction in the historical buildings, allow to outline an overview of the accessible energy savings, and their costs.
