Monitoring in social housing

Casa SpA realized a new building entirely in wood in Viale Giannotti. The social house has 78 apartments with integrated design that develops since the preliminary phase of the project all the aspects: architectural, structural, energetic, plants, acoustic and economic. Instrumental verifications of the energetic performances of the building (both in winter and summer regime). To collect data are used Heat flow meter, Thermal camera, Thermo-hygrometer, Thermo-hygrometer - datalogger USB and sensors elaborated by the university of Firenze. hHas been carried forward Monitoring of heating consumption, Damp monitoring in wood structures, PV monitoring system. Each apartment is provided by an accounting plant to read the heating and water consumptions. On the perimeter walls 6 innovative tools have been installed, developed by the University of Florence, which allowed continuous monitoring of the heat flow through the walls with a triple degree of precision compared to the systems currently on the market and therefore to verify the energetic behavior of the structure of the building to vary the internal and external temperature and humidity conditions. On the top floor a technical room was set up where they were collected and processed the data coming from the various sensors in the field. A sophisticated monitoring system was installed in the building to control humidity of load-bearing wooden partitions in order to optimize use and maintenance of the building.
