Energy and architectural qualification of Primary and Secondary School
Energetic and architectural qualification project of the Gualtieri Primary and Secondary School (RE)
Year of the project: 2018
The school building that houses the Primary School “A. Pecorini” with gym and adjoining First Grade Secondary School “E. Bentivoglio” is located in the urban centre of Gualtieri, a municipality bordering the Po river in the province of Reggio Emilia. The building is situated on the edge of the historical settlement.
The Primary School “A. Pecorini” is a cultural asset under Art. 10, first subparagraph, and under Art. 12, first subparagraph, of the Italian Leg. Decr. No.42/2004, as asset being “work of artist no longer living and being produced more than fifty years ago” and for which the status of cultural property has not yet been verified (Art. 12, second subparagraph).
In this building the following interventions have been established, as they have been deemed effective and efficient for upgrading the energy efficiency of the school premises:
- Cover insulation
- Replacement of the primary and secondary school’s joinery
- Installation of thermostatic valves on the school’s radiators
- Replacement of external and internal light fixtures with LED lamps.
