Zero Emission Building

Energy requalification

Zero Emission Building

Bilma was the designer of the energy requalification of the property, a five floors residential building dating back to around 1930. After the first technical assessment a series of critical issues emerged including: the need to remove the thermal power plant no longer adequate; improve the energy performance of the building; centralize the production of heat and domestic hot water; the presence of 8 uprights for heat distribution up to the apartment radiators made it difficult to vary the layout of the floors; carry out some environmental remediation, finally the recovery of the attic to create two new real estate units.

Bilma, after having verified the state of the places, prepared a project which included, among other things: the connection to the district heating network as the only source of heat for the condominium; the creation of a small well-insulated vertical shaft to slide the uprights for heat distribution, for domestic hot water, the installation of meters at the entrance of each apartment; thanks to district heating which is considered a renewable source, the use of solar panels has been avoided; at the same time as the elimination of the flame-fired thermal power plant no more required the fire prevention certificate.

Finally only electric induction plates have been provided as hobs. This is a necessary choice to eliminate all flames from the building and at the same time the replacement of the no longer adequate methane gas distribution system was avoided.

The project closed successfully and the new condominiums were able to choose to live in a beautiful historic building with a high degree of sustainability thanks to the cutting-edge technological equipment.
