Abstract

The research identifies an innovative process for the performance assessment of façades. Starting from the harmonised technical specifications, it defines a Method Statement that considers the responses to climate change in progress. This document, drawn up based on know-how gained as a result of experiments conducted on façade components, was created as a support tool for the National Technical Assessment body-TAB. The methodology is deductive with an interdisciplinary approach applied to testing activities in its obligatory and experimental aspects. The research is based on process innovation, performance evaluations and quality controls of the project from a constructive-environmental perspective.
