To reach its ambitious goal of carbon neutrality and increase the energy efficiency of its building stock, the city of Bozen/Bolzano developed the “bonus cubatura” – the possibility to add volume to a building (e.g. an additional store) if the it undergoes deep energy renovation and facilitate therewith the financing of the intervention. This opens however a lot of questions with regards to the conservation of the historic context.
Policy makers and architects, engineers and conservators met at the symposium, explaining each their specific views  and experiences and looking for linking points.

What measures are necessary to energetically refurbish a historic building as a whole or individual units of the building? How can the technical possibilities be used in a careful manner or which technical means are necessary to achieve sustainable energy efficiency, without losing the architectural features of a building?

At present, there are quite some experiences in the field of renovation available. But they are very different and are often isolated. The city of Bolzano would therefore like to contribute in collaboration with various professionals at this conference to share their experiences.

The event is also result of a “tavolo tecnico” where EURAC feeds in the experiences from the international research project 3ENCULT to be used and implemented in the local context.

Target group of the conference are experts in the field of energy-efficient renovation and interested citizens.
