Multicriteria evaluation for the optimization of building energy problems

Objective

Development of multi-criteria decision making methodologies for the design and optimization of building energy systems.  The approach considers the effects of the uncertainties on the problem together with different economic and/or sustainability objectives.

Status: ongoing

In collaboration with: MAHTEP Lab

Publications: Pinto et al., 2019, Pinto et al., 2020, Lerede et al., 2021

 

Extracting knowledge from energy performance certificates (EPCs) of buildings

Objective

Development data analytics-based methodologies for the robust and systematic extraction of knowledge from EPCs databases to support public authorities in the decision making process. 

Status: ongoing

In collaboration with: prof. Cerquitelli Tania

Publications: Di Corso et al., 2017Attanasio et al., 2019, Cerquitelli et al., 2019Cerquitelli et al., 2020

 

COL.LAB: Collaborative network of Labs promoting research on intelligent buildings and AI

Objective

Promote a network of Labs, around the world, sharing common interest on intelligent buildings and application of AI to support the transition to novel paradigms of energy management in smart grids.

Status: ongoing

In collaboration with: Dr. Fan Cheng

Projects  co-funded by Energy Department of Politecnico di Torino involving BAEDA Lab

Health, wellness and indoor enviromental quality laboratory - H-IEQ

Objective

H-IEQ is a research project co-funded by the Energy Department of Politecnico di Torino. The main objective of the project is the design of a laboratory for the analysis and control of the quality of the internal environment and energy consumption in relation to the use of innovative components of the casing, system and regulation

Status: ongoing
