An integrated tool for the energy and seismic diagnosis and refurbishment of buildings at urban scale

Modelling of the behaviour of the complex flows that characterize the urban fabric is a hot topic for the definition of future sustainable policies. The article presents a method based on a synergic and integrated bottom-up approach for both energy efficiency and seismic analysis for the refurbishment of buildings at urban scale. The method can be applied to the entire urban fabric without distinction of the intended use of buildings, representing a transition toward an organic urban planning and management. The model is applied to a district of Bologna in order to identify the most suitable integrated refurbishment scenarios.
