The study of technological solutions to improve buildings performances is of great interest both for Energy efficiency and for Smart Grids. More stringent regulations, concerning the building performance requirements, have been introduced by the European Community (Directive 2010/31/UE). In particular it is strictly required the constructions of buildings according to the n-ZEB - near Zero Energy Buildings concept. In this context, this project, called I-ZEB, try to focus and develop technological solutions able to give an answer to all these needs as well as to ensure building and users safety.
In this framework, the research activities which will be performer at ICMATE in Milano and Lecco are briefly described in the following.
- Study, development and mechanical / seismic characterization of innovative systems for structural safety components.
- Concerning the development of materials and devices for Energy, a thermoelectric device is proposed for micro-generation in the sensotistics.
- Nanoparticle synthesis (oxides) and in particular film production of these particles on proper substrates is of interest for photocatalytic applications. These particles will be synthesized via Flame Spray Pyrolysis technology and characterized in collaboration with ITC and ISTM.
