Recovering the ancient hamlets by an integrated energy and seismic plan action: the case of Baia e Latina

The research proposes the development of an integrated diagnostic tool for transforming the need for seismic security into retrofitting opportunities for buildings in the small hamlet of Baia e Latina (CE), even from an energetic and functional point of view. Methods, approaches and tools relating the minimization of seismic vulnerability and energy consumption are increasingly used and tested in order to ensure at the same time sustainability and safety, with a link that may improve the performances of both cultural and environmental heritage. The diagnosis method starting from the Energy Audit through the building system analysis ( above all of the envelope) and the evaluation of the Energy Imprint of the building gets to redesign the whole system or some parts of it in an energy key. With reference to seismic behaviour of building aggregates, the basic methodology conceived for evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of isolated masonry buildings through a survey form, has represented the starting tool for the elaboration of a novel quick evaluation form appropriately considered for S.U. of historical centres. The methodology are aimed at obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate together with a good class of merit and Seismic Suitability at the same time.
