It is possible to integrate energy saving technologies and renewable energy in today's society with respect to the cultural and architectural aspects of the historical buildings using tools to aid the decision how to integrate new functions, materials and techniques. The aim of this paper is to analyze the link between utilization and conservation in the monuments and describe a new approach to develop evaluation models of the potential sustainable energy rehabilitation of historical buildings. The experimental model is based on a multi-criteria approach--the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) --which introduces the use of expert opinions, complementary skills and expertise from different disciplines in conjunction with quantitative traditional analysis. The main criteria used are: assess the impact of the proposed intervention in the light of the international conventions of conservation (Restoration Charts); assess energy efficiency; assess the environmental compatibility and assess the economic budgetary feasibility. The tool is developed in the framework of the Sechurba project, an European initiative under the CIP program umbrella.

Abstract
It is possible to integrate energy saving technologies and renewable energy in today's society with respect to the cultural and architectural aspects of the historical buildings using tools to aid the decision how to integrate new functions, materials and techniques. The aim of this paper is to analyze the link between utilization and conservation in the monuments and describe a new approach to develop evaluation models of the potential sustainable energy rehabilitation of historical buildings. The experimental model is based on a multi-criteria approach--the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) --which introduces the use of expert opinions, complementary skills and expertise from different disciplines in conjunction with quantitative traditional analysis. The main criteria used are: assess the impact of the proposed intervention in the light of the international conventions of conservation (Restoration Charts); assess energy efficiency; assess the environmental compatibility and assess the economic budgetary feasibility. The tool is developed in the framework of the Sechurba project, an European initiative under the CIP program umbrella.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
