Extra insulation of the building envelope
Thermal insulation of building envelope (walls and floors) was realised with
certified ecological highly insulating materials in order to obtain global
U-values lower than standard insulation values of the Italian traditional
building practice. Low energy windows with double layers glasses with low
U-value were installed.
| Insulating characteristics of the building envelope | |
| Building element | U-value |
| External wall | 0,32 W/mē K |
| Floor on car parking | 0,39 W/mē K |
| Ceiling under the roof | 0,35 W/mē K |
| Double-pitched roof | 0,35 W/mē K |
| Low Energy Windows | 1,90 W/mē K |
| Conservatories (south faced) | 1,88 W/mē K |
