The EURAC team on Energy Retrofit of Historic Buildings is looking to co-develop Marie Curie
proposals with early career researchers, and they have an information session on Wednesday the 27th March 2024.
The team is interested in this research area:
Energy Efficiency Improvement of Historic Buildings
We study how to improve the energy performance of buildings, while preserving their aesthetic value. As a research group, we focus on the energy performance of historic buildings and districts, offer solutions of energy retrofit compatible with conservation, analyse the hygrothermal performance of buildings and building details, and the conservation aspects in building retrofit and energy planning.
Thanks to our knowledge in the field of building physics, the group supports companies in developing innovative materials by focusing on their hygrothermal behaviour. Additionally, we can test the performance of building materials in accordance with standard requirements or perform a full characterization with the aim of modelling them in advanced hygrothermal simulation software. Laboratory measurements can also provide valuable support for the renovation of buildings where it is important to know the hygrothermal properties of existing materials to better plan the renovation work.
Please contact Daniel Herrera, Group leader, Energy retrofit of historic buildings, Institute for Renewable Energy for any questions you may have / for further information.
