TRACE team

The research team operates in several field of the global challenges dealing with Climate Change and the transition of the built environment towards a low carbon and more sustainable society. Its core projects deals with Cultural Heritage driven Regeneration Strategies, Energy Efficient and Low Environmental Impact Solutions, Integrated Technologies for Smart Cities sustainable solutions for improving the quality of the existing building stock, particularly in educational spaces, healthcare facilities, social housing and residential sector cooperating with several research institution globally as well as with Companies and Public Administrations both at local and international level especially supporting the development of European funded projects.
The main fields of research are: urban transition and sustainable development, CH driven regeneration strategies and accessibility, adaptation and mitigation strategies to cope with Climate Change, participatory processes, Energy Efficiency and life cycle assessment of building systems, processes and products, building physics and environmental design, environment and architectural acoustic, innovative materials and self-construction techniques.
