ITC Web Site on the legislative aspects of construction in the Health Sector

2003
The principal reason behind our decision to create a web site on the legislative aspects of the construction industry in the Health sector, is due to the necessity of experts to have a source easily available for consultation in an area under continual change affecting new and revised standards and complex legislation. Over the last 20 years all standards and regulation affecting the construction industry in the Health sector, particularly that of hospital construction, have undergone ...

AEDILITIA: Directive 89/106/EEC Construction Products and EC marking of products

2003
ITC-CNR, in collaboration with ANCE (the National Association of Building Constructors) and F.IN.CO (Federation of Industries Products Installations and Services for Constructions) and with the patronage of the Ministry of Production Activities, has created the website www.aedilitia.itc.cnr.it, completely devoted to Directive 89/106/EEC "Construction Products" and to the EC marking of products. The reasons behind its creation can be found in the more and more pressing need to face up to the ...

THE EUROPEAN PROJECT PICADA: STUDY OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE AS PHOTOCATALYST FOR A NEW CLASS OF BUILDING MATERIALS

2002
Alberto Strini and Emanuela Mapelli Titanium dioxide is a well-known catalyst able to degrade by oxidation several organic compounds. Recent studies have proposed to exploit this property to prepare additives for construction materials based on this compound. A particular interest arises from the possibility of obtaining coating materials that, being activated by sun light, are able to destroy the organic compounds which deposit on them. This property might potentially lead to the development ...

ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL APPLIED TO BUILDING ELEMENTS

2002
The need to improve the acoustic performance of the indoor premises and the will to overcome the limitations imposed by traditional techniques forced ITC-CNR to apply active noise control to building elements such as windows and vertical partitions. Active noise control (ANC), in which additional secondary sources are used to cancel noise from the original primary source, is based on the principle of destructive interference. ITC-CNR designed two prototypes of an active window and of an active ...
