English to Italian: Preserving historical buildings General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Architecture
Source text - English For all the latest technology, there are energy-efficiency lessons to be learned from historical buildings. For example, before the advent of air conditioning in the 1960s, structures made do with passive environmental control from cross-ventilation windows to shutters, awnings and masonry that helped keep out the sun. Similarly the high thermal mass of stone, as seen in Victorian buildings, retains warmth in winter and cold in summer.
“Old buildings, when properly renovated or restored, can use less energy than flash new buildings (even those badged as sustainable) that set up problems for themselves by over-glazing, or by creating deep floor plates requiring ventilation fans and lights on all day,” says Stoller.
Translation - Italian Nonostante le nuove avanzate tecnologie, negli edifici storici c’è molto da imparare sull’efficienza energetica. Ad esempio, prima dell'avvento dell’aria condizionata negli anni '60, negli edifici ci si accontentava di un controllo ambientale passivo, tramite l’uso di finestre a ventilazione incrociata, di persiane, di tende da sole e della tecnica della muratura, che aiutavano a schermarsi dal sole. Allo stesso modo l'elevata capacità termica della pietra, come si vede negli edifici vittoriani, trattiene il calore in inverno e il freddo in estate.
"Gli edifici vecchi, se adeguatamente ristrutturati o restaurati, possono consumare meno energia rispetto agli edifici di nuova costruzione (compresi quelli certificati come eco-sostenibili) nei quali sono sorti nuovi problemi, causati dall’uso smisurato delle vetrate o l’eccessiva profondità degli ambienti che richiedono ventilatori e luci accese tutto il giorno", ha affermato Stoller.
