The objective of the HERB project (Holistic Energy-efficient Retrofitting of residential Buildings) was to finalize and test new and innovative high-energy-efficiency technologies and solutions to renovate existing buildings. These solutions will be installed and monitored, from the result perspective, in various typical residential buildings in different European countries.
For Italy, the chosen intervention regarded a small public-housing building owned by the City of Bologna at Piazza A. Mickiewicz 5, with a total heated surface of 282 m2, six units, and three above-ground storeys.
The final conference of the HERB project, ‘Edilizia sociale ed efficienza energetica’ [Social building and energy efficiency], was held in our spaces on 7 April 2016, promoted under the show Abitare Sociale and organized in collaboration with the Engineers’ Association of Bologna.
