Description of research lines:

- SMART FAÇADES - The research line on the Smart Façades is focused on the analysis and characterization of the building envelope performances, as well as on the development of adaptive and interactive dynamic (SMART) façades. In particular, the research aim is to analyze and characterize all building envelope components that help in reaching the built environment thermo- hygrometric comfort and reducing the energy consumption, while developing methodologies and simulation models for the innovative dynamic and bioclimatic components, such as the ventilated façade. The research line also investigates the "intelligent" façades and their components, studying

how they can take advantages of sources and dynamic natural energy, their adaptiveness to the external stimuli, as well as how it is possible to transmit interactive messages into urban scenarios.

- SDHC (Solar District Heating and Cooling) - This research line related to the Solar District Heating and Cooling systems (SDHC) focuses on the analysis of district heating and cooling systems, serving small/micro-scale typical Italian districts, based on the exploitation of solar energy and integrated with a seasonal borehole thermal energy storage. The research activities are performed from a simulation point of view by means of the dynamic simulation software TRNSYS upon varying the boundary conditions (size and technology of components, control logics, thermo- physical properties, back-up systems, climatic conditions, layout of components, etc.).

- INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR DAYLIGHT AND ELECTRIC LIGHTING - The research line is focused on the study and the development of systems to collect and use the daylight. Their integration with both the artificial lighting systems and visual communication devices is assessed, with a focus on the devices based on LEDs and/or OLEDs integrated into innovative coating systems, for the energy improvement of the building envelope.

- FAI (Fault Analysis Identification) - This research line is with regards to the development and application of a methodology for the Fault analysis, fault detection and fault identification of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning plants. The methodology is based on the comparison between the on-site experimental behavior of the systems and the performance predicted by mathematical models developed through Artificial Intelligence techniques.

- ENHANCEMENT AND KEY ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL REGISTER OF SCHOOL BUILDING IN CAMPANIA REGION - This research activity deals with a preliminary assessment method to catalogue a school building stock considering data extracted from the Regional Register of School Building and their subsequent clustering to assess the energy performances of building envelope and technical installations features.

- PREVENT - The purpose of this line of research is to develop innovative procedures and techniques aimed at characterizing the conservation status of degraded outdoor surfaces of belfries on a territorial scale through non-destructive airborn monitoring techniques.

Participation in research projects during the last three years:

Project title: WALLED: "Smart LED&OLED" per Lighting e MediaBuilding Scientific Coordinator: SIBILIO Sergio Call title: Horizon 2020 - PON 2014/2020 (Ministry of Economic Development)

Description of the research activity: the project's research activity is related to the activities of the "Smart Façades" and “Integrated Solutions for Daylight and Electric Lighting” research lines. The project focuses on the analysis and characterization of the building envelope, as well as the study and development of innovative façades for primary/secondary functional building envelopes and/or advanced technological information elements. These systems are meant to be used both for new buildings and in the renovation and enhancement of urban areas and façades, bringing both energy and economic benefits in the management of the building through a reduction in thermal exchanges of the envelope.
