Università Roma Tre

The Laboratory aims to investigate the transformations that, in the building process, affect the buildings and the contexts within which they are located, in order to identify solutions to operate, at the micro-urban and building scale, adopting a climate mitigation and adaptation approach.
The course addresses the relationship between the built environment, climate and new technologies by exploring the synergy between environmental factors, energy aspects, optimization of the form, use of green, soil treatment and choice of materials.
In particular, the course is configured as an opportunity to deepen the environmental issues, with a bioclimatic approach and content related to the field of sustainability, aimed at the acquisition of knowledge of sustainability certification protocols and methods of detection of environmental and energy issues oriented to the management of indoor and outdoor comfort.
The course includes lectures and project exercises, supported by the use of simulation software and calculation tools, aimed at investigating, with measurable results, the effects of the building on the environment, with reference to the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island, and the effects of the environment on buildings in terms of reduction of energy consumption.
Finally, in a vision of energy transition, and according with the Sustainable Development Goals, the European Green Deal and the NRRP, the course proposes to investigate, on a Roman district, chosen as a case study, the possibility of adopting strategies for energy transition and decarbonization.
