Rethinking abandoned buildings as positive energy buildings in a former industrial site in Italy (2023)
Journal Article

The transition from nearly zero-emission building (NZEB) to positive energy building (PEB) models is a new trend, justified by the need to increase the efforts to address the climate change targets and the ambition for a clean energy transition in th...

A carbon accounting and trading platform for the UK construction industry (2023)
Journal Article

Atmospheric carbon dioxide emanating from activities associated with the construction of buildings in the UK contributes approximately 16% of the uk’s total emissions and will need to be reduced significantly to meet international agreements. Against... Read More about A carbon accounting and trading platform for the UK construction industry.

A tool for energy transition oriented intermediaries. A stakeholders’ perspectives analysis (2022)
Journal Article

This paper analyses stakeholders' perspectives about Building-as-Energy-Service as a pillar concept concerning a new energy transition paradigm. In detail, it focuses on developing a Toolkit, which was designed to help energy-transition-oriented inte... Read More about A tool for energy transition oriented intermediaries.

Multi-criteria decision making optimisation framework for positive energy blocks for cities (2022)
Journal Article

The Positive Energy Block (PEBlock) is a new paradigm towards low-carbon cities. However, there is a paucity of literature about methods and tools to develop PEBlocks in practice. This study proposes a multi-criteria decision making optimisation fram... Read More about Multi-criteria decision making optimisation framework for positive energy blocks for cities.

Developing a process-oriented approach towards Positive Energy Blocks: The wind-analysis contribution (2021)
Journal Article

Positive Energy Block (PEB) is an emerging paradigm to transform cities into low carbon cities. It is expected that buildings will become the main components of the future energy infrastructure. This scenario demands a structural integration of the c... Read More about Developing a process-oriented approach towards Positive Energy Blocks: The wind-analysis contribution.

Envisioning Building-as-Energy-Service in the European context. From a literature review to a conceptual framework (2021)
Journal Article

Positive Energy Buildings (PEBs) represent an emerging paradigm for high performance in the building sector. This paradigm focuses on the possibility of exploiting the interaction between individual NZEBs and smart Smart Grids, using energy surplus e...
