Thermal Performance of Cultural Heritage Italian Housing in Albania

摘要

The present paper includes a study focused on the thermal performance of cultural Heritage Italian housing built in 1920's. The study includes the indoor environmental (thermal) building performance evaluation via occupancy satisfaction and building performance simulation. In addition, the houses were further evaluated via parametric computational simulation. Detailed information of the building characteristics, schedule was implemented. As such, possible improvement scenarios could be analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that changes in the building fabric could improve the buildings' energy performance. Specifically, certain combination of improvement measures could be shown to significantly reduce the annual heating energy up to 30%.
