University of Venice, as one of the leading Italian universities, has been traditionally very active in European research with many H2020 projects. Now, it is working on new lines of research on sustainable buildings. With its newly formed User & Built Environment (UBE) Group, UNIVE is developing research on indoor environmental quality, building energy consumption, and co benefits of energy efficiency.
In line with UBE’s research interests, UNIVE is WP5 leader of the H2020 Cultural-E project, developing research on the user’s expectations concerning indoor climate, user-systems interaction, and co-benefits of energy efficiency.
