Tradition and innovation are the two fundamental criteria behind the “MED in Italy” house. The former is the inspiration of the project and provides a bioclimatic model suited to the Mediterranean latitudes. The latter is prompted by the need to adapt the traditional model to modern demands and technologies. Following tradition, we worked with the Mediterranean climate of the Italian peninsula, where protection from heat gains has the same importance as protection from cold and, in many cases, is even more relevant. The basic strategies to avoid heat in such contexts provide protection from solar radiation, inertial heat storage and thermal dissipation, alternating day and night temperatures, and the culture of living in outdoor spaces.

Abstract
Tradition and innovation are the two fundamental criteria behind the “MED in Italy” house. The former is the inspiration of the project and provides a bioclimatic model suited to the Mediterranean latitudes. The latter is prompted by the need to adapt the traditional model to modern demands and technologies. Following tradition, we worked with the Mediterranean climate of the Italian peninsula, where protection from heat gains has the same importance as protection from cold and, in many cases, is even more relevant. The basic strategies to avoid heat in such contexts provide protection from solar radiation, inertial heat storage and thermal dissipation, alternating day and night temperatures, and the culture of living in outdoor spaces.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
