M.E.T.A. – project: a software to retrain the historical buildings

Abstract

The research offers an easy-to-use instrument (expert system) usable during the stage of the preliminary design, to evaluate the prefeasibility of the operations aimed to the improvement of the energy performances of the building system, compatible with historic and artistic features. The expert system has been processed in collaboration with a partner, a producer of related software and services. The application of this expert system has been conducted on a typical rustic farmhouse, placed in Falciano del Massico and erected with grey tuff in the second half of the nineteenth century.
