8. ENERGY IN TIME Project Simulation-based control for building operation

Proposes a flexible and portable approach to evaluate building energy performance, ensuring that promised energy savings are effectively realized during operation.

2020

9. PERFORMER Project
Exhaustive monitoring of energy performance

Proposes a flexible and portable approach to evaluate building energy performance, ensuring that promised energy savings are effectively realized during operation.

2016

10. TRIBUTE Project
Eliminating gaps between estimated and actual consumption

  The project develops technologies to “take the energy bill back to the promised building performance,” correcting operational inefficiencies through advanced monitoring.

2023

11. EEEMBEDDED Project
Holistic design laboratory for buildings

A collaborative platform for designing energy-efficient buildings, integrating various disciplines into a virtual environment to optimize solutions starting from the concept phase.

2022

12. HOLISTEEC Project
Integrated life-cycle support for design

The development of a BIM-based (Building Information Modelling) software infrastructure that considers the entire building life-cycle, from design to construction and operation.

2022

13. STREAMER Project
Semantic design for mixed healthcare districts

Uses Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to design energy-efficient buildings within large healthcare campuses or mixed-use districts.

2020

14. ECODISTR-ICT Project Decision support tool for sustainable districts

An integrated decision-support tool for planning renovation at the scale of an entire district, not just individual buildings, optimizing resources at the urban level.

2016

15. FASUDIR Project
Friendly and affordable urban retrofitting

  Development of sustainable strategies for retrofitting urban districts, emphasizing both economic and social sustainability.

2023

16. CITI-SENSE Project Citizen observatories for quality of life

The development of a community based on wearable sensors used by citizens to monitor air and environmental quality in cities, directly involving the public in data collection.

2022

17. CITCLOPS Project
Optical monitoring of coasts and oceans

A citizen observatory for monitoring water quality in coastal zones using optical technologies and public involvement.

2022

18. OMNISCIENTIS Project Monitoring unpleasant odors

An innovative system for monitoring urban odors (olfactory pollution) based on technological sensors and citizen feedback.

2020

19. WESENSEIT Project
Citizen Observatory of Water

Involving communities in monitoring water resources and preventing floods through sensors and social reporting.

2016

20. BioCannDo Project
Discourse and awareness regarding the bioeconomy

A project focused on communicating and educating the public about bio-based products (such as natural construction materials), managing the Allthings.Bio portal.
