Preliminary Performance Monitoring Plan for energy retrofit: a Cognitive Building The "Mandolesi Pavillon" at the University of Cagliari

The paper proposes a sensorization plan for monitoring a relevant architectural case study at the University of Cagliari, in order to verify indoor thermo-hygrometric conditions and define a set of interventions which should be compatible with building preservation issue and oriented at improving its energy performance. The research aims at understanding how to organize and structure the compliance of the building, in order to anticipate users' needs and how the centrality of these requirements can influence the definition of new retrofit models. Firstly, the proposed workflow has been tested on a pilot building with the same use: the eLUX lab, e.g. the Smart Campus Demonstrator at the University of Brescia and then, an adaptation of the developed cognitive concept has been applied to the "Mandolesi Pavilion", an icon building at the University of Cagliari Campus. This adaptation and the main features transferred to from the experience in Brescia to Cagliari are here presented. The research is ongoing and first results are discussed.
