Adaptive Façades, Control Strategies, Façade Performance, Building Energy Performance, Model Predictive Control (MPC)

Biography

Graduated in Building Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in October 2014, after an experience in the field of Project and Construction Management in Milan, he starts a PhD in Energetics at Politecnico di Torino. From June to December 2018, he spends a visiting research period at the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) of the University of Wollogong (Australia). In July 2020 he obtains the PhD degree with the thesis “Exploiting the potential of adaptive building components by means of innovative control strategies”.

Francesco is now a Postdoctoral Researcher within the Energy Efficient Buildings group of Eurac Research. His research topics concern the improvement of the energy performance and comfort conditions in buildings by exploiting advanced control strategies during operation.
