Riqualificazione energetica nell’edilizia storica. Uno studio interdisciplinare per la rifunzionalizzazione di S. Antonio in Polesine a Ferrara

Retrofit intervention in the second cloister of Sant' Antonio in Polesine in Ferrara follows two themes. On a side, conservative appearance is addressed to maintenance the building formal complexity.

The intent is to redevelop the complex to give it a new functional and energetic life. The study is an example of energy retrofit of a part of building historical heritage that makes it suitable to new energy saving requirement.
