ADAPTIVE HOUSING: Solutions for Adaptive and Resilient Low-Energy Housing under Climate Change Scenarios

Project: Research Fellowship

Project Details

Description

Investigation the role of adaptive behaviour in the process of securing comfort in low-energy homes, in the context of a global increase in temperatures. For this project, I am embracing uncertainty and a non-deterministic approach to research to extend the boundaries of deterministic building simulations, by first developing a knowledge map that integrates literature on adaptive occupant behaviour and interaction between occupants and building systems with emerging knowledge on climate change's impact on buildings.
This Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship is financed by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Bozen through the Seal of Excellence funding scheme.
