ADOPTING GREEN SOLUTIONS FOR THE RE-USE OF FORTIFIED SITESFORTIFIED TOWNS AND CITADELLESFORTIFIED TOWNS ARE SETTLEMENTS DATING BACK TO EARLY AGES AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS HISTORIC CITIESCITADELLES WERE MADE TO PRESERVE TOWNS AND WERE STRICTLY RELATED TO THEM IN AN URBAN CONTEXT

THE APPROACH FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FOLLOWS THE ONE OF HISTORIC TOWNS THAT HAVE BEEN LIVED FOR CENTURIES

ADOPTING GREEN SOLUTIONS FOR THE RE-USE OF FORTIFIED SITESCASTLESCASTLES DATE BACK TO THE EARLY AGES AND ARE OFTEN CHARACTERISED BY FRAGILES ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGIESTHE RESTORATION AND RE-USE OF CASTLES FACES THE CHALLENGE OF INTERVENING ON MONUMENTS, THUS INVOLVING STRICT BONDS

IMPLEMENTING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS COULD BE IMPEDED BY THE HISTORIC AND ARTISTIC VALUE OF THE PLACE

ADOPTING GREEN SOLUTIONS FOR THE RE-USE OF FORTIFIED SITESFORTIFIED SYSTEMS AND FORTSTHEIR ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES ARE RELEVANT BUT NOT UNIQUETHEIR STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS ARE OFTEN POORTHEIR EVALUATION BY PRESENT SOCIETIES IS NOT YET HIGHTHEY ARE ABANDONED AND OFTEN IN ISOLATED AREASTHEY ARE OFTEN EXCLUDED OR LACKING FROM USUAL BASIC SERVICES (ELECTRICITY, WATER, GAS, ETC.)

INTEGRATION OF USES: PROPER MANAGEMENTTHESE SOLUTIONS ARE SUGGESTED FOR FORTIFIED SITES CONSIDERING THE COMMON NEED OF COMPLETE REGENERATION AND REUSE.

THE SUCCESS IS ALSO DEPENDENT ON THE RE-USE OF THE FORTIFIED SITE AND ITS OBJECTS, TO BE IN LINE WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BUILDINGS AND WITH ITS OVERALL ENERGETIC NEED.

THE USE DESTINATION DETERMINE THE CLIMATE NEEDED. MUSEUMS HAVE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, RESTAURANTS HAVE OTHERS.
