Objective: The objective concerns technologies,systems, products and materials of construction sector,primarily aimed at the improvement of performance levels and safety,as well as the optimization of the final use of energy.The activities are aimed at the definition of strategies, methods and tools concerning the regeneration of building and of the city as a whole and the conscious improvement of integrated energy and sustainable management of metropolitan areas. Particular attention is addressed to make the performance of buildings measurable in working conditions and in the laboratory.
Approach:
The energy efficiency achievements in the building sector are
widely supported in particular by European Union (e.g. Horizon
2020). Thanks to the expertise and the resources of ITC, INM,
ICAR, ITAE, IM, the PA will provide its contribution to meet
current and future scientific and technological challenges in the
field of buildings with the aim of enhancing the buildings stock
in terms of both energy efficiency and renewable energy
production. Specifically the PA will develop the following main
topics : 1. Sustainable Constructions, 2. Smart Cities, 3.
Advanced Electrical Systems for Sustainable Buildings, 4.
Electrical storage enabling the Smart Building, 5. LCA,
ecodesign and carbon footprint of building elements 6.
Innovative technologies enabling smart building. The approach
presents an interesting level of multidisciplinarity and lends
itself to contributions of specific scientific competence that
DIITET is able to make available internally.
Scientific Impact/Results:
Beneficial impacts of the PA’s work are expected in terms of
scientific, societal, economic, industrial and politic outcomes. The
PA’s research results will have direct application in industrial and
regulatory fields, both at national and international levels, since
active collaborations with the major technical-scientific and
research organizations in the construction sector are planned.
Participation to national and international research projects and
initiatives with leading research institutions, industries and
Universities is considered the main instrument for the
achievement of the PA’s goals.
