SERVICES
Optimisation of energy and environmental performance
The aim is to improve the quality of the construction in relation to its use and the environmental and social context.
The services offered support all phases in the process of performance optimisation, comprising measurements, behavioural modelling, the characterisation of materials and components and the definition of innovative design criteria, with regard to energy, environmental, safety, comfort and usability performance.
The intended market for these services includes parties in the world of research and public and/or private clients.
Test facility building
A demonstration building equipped with experimental sensors for innovation on subjects of sustainability, light and natural ventilation and collaboration with companies to test and experiment with innovative solutions in the construction industry. Integration of design, services and monitoring systems. BIM 6D (sustainability) and BIM 7D (digital twin and cognitive building) platforms.
Local acoustic planning
Support for local bodies in local acoustics planning.
Acoustic characterisation and evaluation of innovative materials and products
Acoustic characterisation of innovative materials and products such as recycled materials, elastic materials for flooring insulation, 3D elements and the study of acoustic bridges linked to the installation methods of products and plant passages. Analysis and evaluation of the acoustic performance of innovative materials and components, including through tests of the sound-absorbing characteristics of materials, tests of flooring insulation and evaluation of horizontal Rw.
Ergonomics and human factors
Ergonomic evaluation and definition of user-centred criteria to support the design and redevelopment of living and working environments, accessibility and inclusive design.
