PV integration in the open urban space redevelopment of minor historical centers

In a contemporary perspective, the building refurbishment is no longer indifferent to technological innovation and energy efficiency goals. The photovoltaic (PV) integration becomes a possible way for design in “sensitive contexts”. The research proposes, within a wider strategy of sustainable reconstruction, some experimental projects for urban voids rehabilitation in minor historic villages hit by earthquake. The developed case-studies show possible and affordable ways for integrating PV within urban/architectural innovative zero-energy concepts in sensitive areas.
