Intensive Course LCA and Sustainability in Restoration Sites

The conservation of cultural heritage can no longer disregard environmental sustainability. Every intervention – from the choice of materials to construction techniques – has an impact: energy-related, environmental, and social. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the scientific methodology that makes it possible to measure and optimize these impacts throughout the entire life cycle of an intervention. In sectors such as construction and industry, it is already a reality. In restoration, it is still a revolution yet to be built. This intensive course was created to fill that gap. An unprecedented training opportunity in Italy, designed for restorers, public officials, technicians, and cultural operators. Two days of applied theory, workshops, case studies, and simulated sites, to look at materials, processes, and operational solutions with new eyes, and to identify latent environmental issues in traditional methods in order to move towards sustainable alternatives.
