EDI research line is about methodologies and certificates to improve the therm-hygrometric comfort inside buildings through the utilization of renewable energy (solar, geothermal, etc.) and new materials, aiming to simple solutions, easy to replicate and to design. Goals:

• new calculation tools;


• modular fabrication solutions for retrofitting/renewal/new-construction buildings;


• new methodologies, integrating several energy sources to achieve efficiency and optimization;


• integrated systems to exploit different energy sources (solar, geothermal, etc.) and new materials for HVAC;


• characterization of new materials targeted to energy saving in buildings.

Field of application: civil constructions, industrial constructions, social housing, energy efficiency.
