2.4 New trends in demand

Sustainability and technological buildings

The focus on environmental sustainability is growing steadily. Buyers and tenants are increasingly interested in buildings that use renewable energy, eco-friendly materials, and smart solutions to reduce environmental impact. In recent years, the construction industry has witnessed a remarkable shift toward digital transformation, which has revolutionized the process of designing, constructing, and managing buildings and the built environment. This wave of technological advances has not only improved efficiency and productivity, but has also played a key role in promoting sustainability in the construction industry.

building Information Modeling (***) represents one of the most important digital transformations for sustainable building design. Indeed, with BIM, building professionals can optimize the design, construction, and management phases of a project, reducing material waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. Through virtual simulations and interference detection, potential problems and inefficiencies can be identified and resolved before construction begins, saving time and resources.

Similarly, the use of"computational and parametric design," through advanced technologies, has proven to be a powerful tool for improving sustainability in building design. Such software allows architects and designers to simulate and evaluate various aspects such as solar radiation, lighting, energy consumption, and thermal performance of a building.However, other significant ...

4.2 The prices

When we talk about the value of a property we normally refer to its market value, but a home is also characterized in an important way by another indicator, the cadastral value. These two values are united by the fact that they turn out to be indispensable in case one intends to sell the property.

The cadastral value of a property is a useful indicator primarily for tax purposes. In particular, this is used to determine inheritance, gift, registration, mortgage and cadastral taxes. Cadastral value is calculated from the cadastral annuity, which is a value attributed, for tax purposes, to income-producing properties and can be found simply by consulting a cadastral view of the property in question. The cadastral income should be revalued by * percent and then multiplied by a coefficient that depends on the cadastral category of the property.

The market value is the commercial value of a property: therefore, it is that value that is taken as a reference when one intends to set the selling price of the property. This indicator is obtained as follows:

Market value= Commercial surface area x Price per square meter x Coefficients merit

Commercial surface area: is the sum of the covered area ...

Buildings with low environmental impact

Low-impact buildings arise as a response to growing concerns about climate change and thus the need for sustainability in the housing market. A low-impact building is essentially a well-insulated, low-consumption, low-waste home designed and built in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

These criteria for sustainable architecture apply not only to newly constructed houses, but also to old buildings that can be transformed into low-impact housing through energy efficiency measures and the intelligent use of renewable energy.

The reuse and redevelopment of existing buildings is a major challenge for the overall reduction of the building sector's environmental impact. Especially in a real estate market like Italy's, where more than * million properties need green renovation by ****.
