Naples, thermal insulation, photovoltaic and new fixtures in the degraded district of Ponticelli

The urban regeneration plan comes to life via Edoardo Scarpetta in Ponticelli, in the area East of Napleswhich benefits from 48.5 million of the Pnrr. European resources are essential to redevelop public housing and outdoor spaces for over 30 thousand square meters close to via Botteghelle. Six buildings were involved in the restyling: the largest one, consisting of seven floors, and the other five behind it, each with four floors, for a total of 312 accommodations.

The so-called “district 10” of East Naples – built during the reconstruction period for the 1980 earthquake – «is in a state of degradation and abandonment «and in a situation of «significant housing hardship», we read in the executive project of the second excerpt edited by external professionals and approved by the Service” Existing public residential building technician” of the Municipality of Naples.

The works aim to improve liveability for almost a thousand residents and contribute to creating optimal conditions through the creation of spaces for aggregation and entertainment.

In fact, a first part of the regeneration intervention – with the construction site opened last March – concerns the public spaces at the foot of the buildings with the creation of a senior center, vegetable gardens, a park and sports facilities. Now we move on to the second phase which involves seismic improvement – work will only be done on the outside of the buildings and on some flights of stairs – and the energy efficiency of the buildings.

In particular, the construction of the external coat and the replacement of all the fixtures with new ones in aluminum with thermal break are foreseen. Work is carried out on the roof where glass wool insulation, a new layer of waterproofing sheath and tile flooring are planned. From a green perspective, a three kilowatt photovoltaic system will be installed for each staircase to power the stairs, elevators and lighting systems in the external areas: the unconsumed energy will flow towards the electricity distribution network and will be remunerated according to the dedicated collection mechanism.

The construction site will last six hundred days, therefore twenty months, and is essential to restore safety and decorum to the populous district located in the so-called Porchiano area, a stone’s throw from the historic center of the populous East Naples district.
