Join ICLEI Europe and the 3ENCULT project consortium in a free study tour on energy efficient solutions to preserve your historic buildings.

ICLEI Europe will host a study tour exploring how historical buildings and monuments can be adapted to achieve higher energy efficiency and improved levels of comfort, without compromising the site’s historical value. Visits will take place in the cities of Innsbruck (Austria) and Bolzano (Italy), allowing attendants to see first hand examples of successful retrofits. Experts will explain how these retrofits work within the political context of a city’s planning.

The Public Weigh house in Bolzano was built in the 13th century, but today it is used for commerce and residential purposes. The case study will outline measures to analyse the energy performance of the building, including conducting an air leakage test, taking heat transfer measurements, and more.

Monumental School in Innsbruck was completed in 1931, and is considered an important example of early modern architecture. Unfortunately the original design of the building demands high energy usage and allows for severe overheating. In order to correct this, but also to preserve the historical integrity of the building, an innovative and noninvasive ventilation retrofit was necessary. Participants will be able to view the unconventional ventilation system and its potential in the renovation process.
