RIQUALIFICARE E RINNOVARE IL PATRIMONIO SCOLASTICO ESISTENTE La scuola come teaching tool per un edificio scolastico degli anni '30 con l'ausilio di ICT

The article deals with research activities and actions to improve energy efficiency of school buildings that are carried out by ITC - CNR (Construction Technologies Institute-Italian National Research Council), Municipality of Bitonto and Interuniversity Center ABITA (University of Florence). The study highlighted the possibility of using the school building as a teaching tool in the process of improvement of energy performance and comfort conditions through participation and sharing of analysis and results among the various stakeholders (school community, local authorities , school managers, teachers, technical staff, etc.). This could be pursued through the innovative use of ICT (Information Communication Technology) on the existing school building heritage, as we validated on the case study of a historic building of the '30s.
