- This paper follows the discussion on the energy efficiency of heritage buildings by dealing with the task of preserving 20th century buildings and making them more sustainable. It is confirmed that a thorough analysis of each case is needed, since the cultural value of modern heritage risks being overwhelmed by the effort to improve its energy efficiency. The Urbino University Colleges are a masterpiece of the 20th century. They were designed by architect Giancarlo de Carlo, built between 1962 and 1983 and still host 1000 students. A conservation plan was outlined in 2016 with the aim of developing the long-term and sustainable preservation of such a huge complex. A specific goal in terms of sustainability was lowering the heating costs to save funds for conservation activities. The efforts were thus to balance building conservation, energy efficiency and users’ comfort. A thermal analysis, an energy retrofit design, a test on a pilot site, a comparison between before and after, are the tools that have been used to achieve this objective. Results provide some operational indications to merge conservation and sustainability in a 20th century heritage building.

- The paper presents results from the research project “Smart energieffektivisering av kulturhistoriska byggnader i kallt klimat”. The research is expected to develop, test and assess methods and solutions to increase the energy efficiency of heritage timber buildings in the northernmost part of Sweden.The sub-arctic climate, with long, cold winters and mild summers, requires a significant use of energy, especially in historic buildings. This means that the difference in thermal performance and energy use with newly built buildings is greater and, at the same time, that even non-invasive interventions can be enough to save a considerable amount of energy with a limited impact on heritage values.Valuable timber buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century are analysed in the cities of Piteå, Malmberget and Kiruna. Results are based on data collected on their energy and thermal performances, on the analysis of their constructional features and on the assessment of their heritage value.
