"We live in an ecological and sustainable when it is this excellent insulation from heat and cold, which can reduce fuel consumption, saving money and energy to the inhabitants of the house. This is how we ensure a low environmental impact while delivering a comfortable environment and healthy: For over 30 years, the thermal coat proved to be the solution most used, most can be easily amortized in cost and more effective compliance with increasingly stringent energy requirements imposed by regulations, "This is the position of Cortexa, Consortium for the culture of the insulation system, just born with the aim of highlighting the importance and potential of this fundamental solution construction. It is well known fact that the first step in making a building envelope are not only efficient facilities at its disposal, although the latest generation and able to cover the areas of solar, photovoltaic or geothermal; without proper insulation, the energy produced by these systems would be dissipated unreasonably, defeating the significant investments required for their installation.

Infrared thermography (IR) is a technique for non-destructive investigation able to determine the temperature of a surface by measuring the infrared radiation emitted.

The map of temperature is displayed directly on the screen of a camera. At the radiance (brightness) of each pixel is associated with the temperature value corresponding to the point of the examined body.

The thermogram, therefore, is likely a representation of the object investigated, where you recognize proportions and shape.

The significant increase in the use of materials and eco-friendly systems and low environmental impact is generating a growth of jobs.

After years of experimentation, the green building market is now booming: from market analyzes indicate, in fact, that the builders will use green technologies in 90% of cases by 2016.

As is clear from the first site of job offers "green", are increasing demands for environmental engineers and territory, consultants for energy efficiency, renewable energy sales agents and buyers for the photovoltaic industry.

The City Plan is ready to go, "later this year will open the first construction," assures the deputy minister Mario Ciaccia. The plan, approved by the Decree Development to redevelop and regenerate degraded areas of our cities, is already operational and will consist of € 2 billion and "the possible creation of new jobs for more than 100,000 units."

E 'has already been approved in fact, the implementing decree that made possible the activation of the program and, after 2 weeks of its publication, it has settled the control room, ready to assess redevelopment projects of degraded areas and urban regeneration developed by municipalities. To the cities, until October 5 to present the final draft and benefit from the funds available.

In amendments to the bill, converting Decree Development, simplifications incisive invest permissions on construction. Finally approved, the amendments shall enter in the text of the bill dismissed by the Chamber. Text that encased the confidence placed by the government, comes now before the Senate.

Broaden the categories of interventions that may fall into the so-called "free building activities" and the Notice of Commencement of Work is "lighter" in the annexes. News that "make group" with the strengthening of the Single Desk, with the simplification of Super DIA, making incisive simplifications, in addition to the extension of the deduction of 55% for the redevelopment building at 30 June 2013.

The DIA, the DIA or better alternative to building permit (the so-called Super-DIA), is simplified by the Development Decree (DL 83/2012) to bring her closer to the proceedings, the SCIA. The general rule is to reduce the acquisition of acts or opinions of the appropriate organs and agencies, which will in fact be replaced, as is planned for the SCIA, from self-certification of private and sworn, documents or certificates signed by the professional in charge of draw up the building practice.

The decree - already in place - is without prejudice to subsequent checks that continue to be the responsibility of the appropriate authorities and bodies and includes the necessary exclusions. The certification of the professional - always the same way as for the Wake - can not in fact be produced in cases where there are environmental, landscape and cultural, and can not replace documents issued by the authorities responsible for national defense, public safety, or those provided from seismic or Community.

High percentages of recovery, a material that once recycled retains the same properties as the extract and a long-lasting use in the construction field. These are the good news on copper.

Numbers of recycling

The world average of the recycling of copper is 33.8% which translates into a saving of atmospheric emissions of 900,000 tons of CO2. According to the latest data published by the International Copper Study Group, - organization of reference for the statistical analysis on the extraction mining, recycling, and reuse of copper-44% of that used in Europe comes from the recycling chain.

The Italians love less brick. Do not talk about the housing crisis that is unfolding well, but the growth of attention to a building material that did not seem to belong more to our culture until recently. The wood.

In Northern Europe, in fact, the wood carvings are part of the building culture both for historical reasons and because of supply. In past centuries, in fact, in those areas the primary requirement compared to houses was to encourage the mobility of populations living mainly dedicated to hunting, which was allowed by the wood, while in the Mediterranean regions, more sedentary as devoted to agriculture , the choice was that of brick.

The matter of safety in the workplace is a topic which has warned the political forces, from trade unions and public opinion itself. Not surprisingly, therefore, the rules governing the sector over time are subject to continual revisions, updates, corrections, additions.

The last Council of Ministers before the summer break has begun examining a draft decree intended to make some changes in this area.

The novelty perhaps the most bizarre and original is the introduction of a sort of "penalty points" for now scheduled for companies operating in the construction industry but in the future will probably be extended to other areas.

The highway Mantova Cremona will be the new flagship of Italy: demonstrate how environmental sustainability is possible and feasible even in large works. For a long time, as we have wanted to forget, we focused on the purely economic aspects and choices of minimization of the time.

The final design, which must be approved shortly, will create a bubble of efficiency and health in the Po valley, paradoxically, one of the most polluted places in the Italian territory.

Francesco Acerbi, general manager of Center Padane SpA illustrates all the features of the new infrastructure that will be able to minimize the impact to the environment, self-sustaining energy, enhancing the relations and peculiarities of the territory.
