The paper presents an operative tool for evaluating energetic and environmental performances in existing buildings, by the use of non-invasive techniques. The tool defines an integrated procedure based on normative, visual and instrumental techniques, in order to individuate energy performances and technological inefficiencies of buildings. Particularly, instrumental analyses compares visual testing, thermographic inspection, heat flowmeter measurements, sonic trial, microclimate and energy monitoring, statistic analyses of users' comfort and Post Occupancy Evaluation methodologies. The interrelation among these analyses permits to achieve an accurate result, without the use of invasive instrument, such as coring or endoscope techniques.
