Webinar - Micro-climate change and envelopes: understanding, modelling and design in light of a changing climate
The event will take place on 27th and 28th April 2023. Please note that there is a unique registration for each day. In order to attend both days, participants will need to register to each day separately.
This seminar, financed by subproject URBAN therCOM, part of the Spanish research coordinated project mateMad, and curated by Snr. Researcher Emanuela Giancola and Prof. Emanuele Naboni is focused on the relationship between local microclimatic changes and the design envelopes. The focus is on the special, yet largely unexplored influence that the envelope characterization may have on creating temperate conditions while sustaining decarbonization, health and ecology.
The chaired sessions are pivoted around the assumption that generating a temperate microclimate despite climate change needs in-depth approaches and solutions, which imply understanding, modelling and designing of the thermodynamic continuum where the local microclimate is interconnected to intelligent surfaces able to selectively moderate thermodynamic flows to sustain energy, comfort and biodiversity.
The first-day sessions, therefore, host keynote speakers introducing their work and upcoming challenges related to climate change modelling, coupling of microclimate and building forms - envelopes via computational advanced workflows. The second day revolves around the matters of decarbonization and energy, health and comfort, ecology and nature-based solutions.
