Integration of installations on facades and consequent deterioration

This report begins with considerations on the damage caused on the surface layer of outer walls of buildings by the installation of technological systems and utility networks. The aim of this study is to emphasize the relationship between such additions and the damage they can cause to reduce the formal/architectural deterioration, to limit the physical damage, to enable the systems and networks to be included already at the design stage, enabling a scheduled maintenance program for the facade with a view to its conservation in use.
