Strumenti di valutazione per la lettura del grado di reversibilità del patrimonio costruito

The regeneration of the existing building stock is a priority in achieving the decarbonization goals set by international agreements on the climate crisis. To date, the gap between the required and the actual performances of the construction sector in meeting these goals necessitates not only the energy ef-ficiency of buildings, which addresses the operational emissions of a construction, but also interventions on the embodied carbon emissions. In this direction, new circular design approaches such as reversible design, which aims to extend the life cycle of buildings and reduce demolition and construction waste, are being developed. While these principles are easier to apply to the design of new buildings, their integration into the reuse of existing buildings is less explored in the literature. This paper proposes a reinterpretation of the aspects of reversibility applied to reuse, presenting a tool for pre-assessing scena-rios of repurposing existing buildings, which provides a synthetic index of the level of adaptability and functional flexibility of a building.
