Abstract

The sustainability of the redevelopment, recovery and conservation of the historical heritage built before 1945 is guar- anteed by voluntary certification protocols that consider the entire life cycle of the building. The analysis showed that the certification has, to date, extended to a limited number of residential buildings built before the Second World War, while those built after the war have been neglected. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to highlight the criticalities of the current certification systems, with reference to some thematic areas of the GBC Historic Building protocol, and to identify appropriate corrective measures for energy redevelopment with reference to Mario Ridolfi's “INCIS Houses”, an example of Messina modernism, that need to be preserved. The goal is to attract the interest of the scientific community, experts and public opinion to the enhancement and conscious care of the post-1945 residential heritage of the author through eco-sustainable interventions that respect cultural and architectural identity.
