INFINITE Case Study: Italy
The Italian sister buildings are multifamily dwelling units owned by a single owner and built in 1978 and 1979. The buildings include 4 residential units each for a total of 8 dwellings. This case study is particularly suitable to test INFINITE’s approach because the twin buildings allow to compare the energy performance before and after the renovation. STRUCTURE Steel-reinforced concrete frame with brick masonry.

INFINITE Case Study: Slovenia
The Slovenian demo case is a medium size, multi-use building owned by multiple owners. Built during the 1970-1980, it is composed by offices on the ground floor, plus 40 single residential units divided among four floors and an attic area. Although the building is connected to a district heating system, the overall energy performance is poor because of badly insulated envelope and windows. STRUCTURE Steel-reinforced concrete frame with brick masonry.
