Projects

Toledo, Linda (Principal Investigator)

The project REsilient HouSIng for the Alpine region (REHSIA) aims to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, mitigate the effects of climate change, and support the adaptation of buildings to rising temperatures. This goal will be achieved by combining general knowledge of building practices with recent ethnographic data from households in the Italian Alpine region.
REHSIA will review the literature on adaptive comfort, update existing empirical evidence, and integrate these findings with ethnographic insights. It will also analyse local energy regulations and engaging with the Klimahaus Institute (owner of the Italian Klimahaus building certification system). Building simulations will be used to predict thermal performance under various climate scenarios.
In terms of impact, REHSIA addresses the issue of overheating in low-energy buildings, improving both energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Aligned with regional strategies, the project contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability. Its recommendations will empower local designers and residents, while also providing valuable case studies for other regions in Italy and similar climatic zones (Cfb).

This fellowship is financed by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Bozen through the Initiatives to Promote the International Mobility of Researchers LG 14/2006 (Decree 14978/2024).

This SCDT will provide three fully-funded PhD students with a world-class interdisciplinary research and training programme to bridge the net-zero design and construction skills gap whilst providing specialist skills in human-centric smart building design and digitisation for optimised health and resilience.

The increased risk of overheating, poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and inadequate ventilation in energy-efficient and/or net-zero buildings is now well evidenced, including the increasing gap between design expectations and energy performance, which is highly influenced by human behaviour. This CDT will train future innovators and leaders that can drive the transition to a healthy and energy-efficient built environment. The training will be led by experts in net-zero design, indoor air quality, building resilience, human behaviour and data analytics. Each project will be co-supervised by staff from different disciplines and all projects will involve industry partners and/or clinical advisors, to ensure that the research explored is based on an area of industry/clinical need.

The centre will provide highly-skilled future experts and leaders to tackle the challenges of delivering net-zero buildings that are human-oriented and optimise health. The CDT will deliver emerging multidisciplinary research endeavours by working across the departments of Architecture, Psychology and CIS, to decarbonise the built environment while providing a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.

SCDT students will become part of a growing PGR cohort, benefiting from peer-to-peer learning and an inclusive research culture. Opportunities will be provided to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders (such as clinicians, industry specialists and the public), through internships/placements, personal development and specialist training, networking and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Successful candidates will be trained in writing manuscripts for publication in scientific journals, and strongly supported and encouraged to apply to external funding (such as travel grants), where appropriate. As part of the PhD programme, the candidate will be registered on the PGCert in Researcher Development. This is a 60-credit qualification covering personal effectiveness, governance, organisation, engagement, impact, and intellectual abilities, running in tandem with the PhD programme.

Candidates are expected to proactively take ownership of their project and creatively contribute to shaping it. We are seeking future leaders to develop knowledge and expertise required to address future challenges in the following three areas:

1. Linking indoor pollutant exposure and climate conditions with physical and psychological health outcomes,
2. Technological solutions for energy-efficient indoor climate control,
3. Understanding and analysis of psychological and behavioural factors that affect exposure indoors.

Investigation the role of adaptive behaviour in the process of securing comfort in low-energy homes, in the context of a global increase in temperatures. For this project, I am embracing uncertainty and a non-deterministic approach to research to extend the boundaries of deterministic building simulations, by first developing a knowledge map that integrates literature on adaptive occupant behaviour and interaction between occupants and building systems with emerging knowledge on climate change's impact on buildings.

The 2015 regulations required all new dwellings to have CO2 monitors installed to alert the occupants to poor indoor air quality that would encourage them to open windows and provide purge ventilation.
