Tecnologie dematerializzate ed eco-efficienti per una città ecologica: le innovazioni nanotech - Dematerialized and eco-efficient technologies for an ecological city: nanotech innovations

The reduction of the level of material and energy intensity is one of the strategies to limit the impact of the processes of urban transformation, in relation to construction technologies applied to new construction and building rehabilitation. The possibility of using high-performance materials allows design concepts based on the reduction of technical elements thickness, on a greater durability due to self-cleaning properties and resistance to environmental conditions, on the ability to absorb air pollutants and to ensure high insulating properties. Nanotechnology applied to architecture outlines a particular interesting scenario, introducing innovative qualities compared to characteristics and performance of conventional building materials and construction products.
