Italian term

funzionalità impiantistica

Italian to English Art/Literary Architecture
Hi everyone,
I'm getting stuck trying to translate the phrase "funzionalità impiantistica" within the context of an architect's portfolio. The text gives a brief summary of the architect's completed projects, which are predominantly redevelopment operations carried out on historic buildings within Italy. Here is the rest of the sentence for context:

"Il progetto è intervenuto nei singoli ambienti, oltre che nei percorsi e nei collegamenti tra i corpi di fabbrica, adeguando la struttura alla normativa in materia di tutela degli edifici storici, [......], [e] di funzionalità impiantistica."

I've always struggled to translate "impianto"/"impianti"/"impiantistico" into English unless the context is that of a plant/machinery/equipment. This text isn't talking about a factory etc, however, so I'm really struggling to translate or even understand the phrase. I'd be hugely welcome for any advice/suggestions!

Grazie mille, Jess

building systems performance

My understanding is that the project in question includes ensuring that the various building systems (electricity, plumbing...) meet current legal requirements.

I'm not entirely sure that performance is correct ("functionality" may be another option, but I'm not wild about that either!), however that's the jist of your text as far as I can understand.
