Metodologie integrate di valutazione applicate ai materiali di un edificio ad alta quota. (Italian)

Integrated assessment methods applied to the materials of a high-altitude building. (English)

The article intends to highlight how building in exceptional environmental conditions (e.g. sites inaccessible to traditional vehicles, particularly harsh climate conditions, etc.) and reducing the environmental impact of the built environment lead to the adjustment of construction techniques, through applications of materials, even traditional, but made more efficient by innovative offsite and onsite production processes. A Life Cycle Assessment study has enabled to compare the impact of rice-based straw bale as a building material having both a loadbearing and insulation function, and to compare the results achieved with alternative scenarios characterised by materials conventionally used in construction, such as rock wool and concrete and masonry.

L'articolo intende porre in evidenza come costruire in condizioni ambientali eccezionali (ad es. cantieri inaccessibili ai mezzi tradizionali, condizioni climatiche particolarmente rigide, ecc.) e ridurre l'impatto ambientale del costruito conducano all'adeguamento delle tecniche costruttive, attraverso applicazioni di materiali, anche tradizionali, ma resi più performanti da processi di produzione fuori opera e in opera particolarmente innovativi. Uno studio Life Cycle Assessment ha permesso di confrontare l'impatto della paglia di riso come materiale costruttivo avente funzione sia portante sia di isolamento, e di confrontare i risultati conseguiti con scenari alternativi caratterizzati da materiali convenzionalmente impiegati in edilizia come la lana di roccia, il laterizio e il cemento armato.
