On Friday 23 September 2022, MDPI and the Journal Buildings organized the 3rd webinar in the Buildings series titled “Novel Technologies for Energy Efficiency in Buildings”.
The introduction was held by Dr. Alessandro Cannavale, Assistant Professor at the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy. His research activity deals with applied thermodynamics and devices for energy efficiency. Associate Editor of Frontiers in Built Environment, editorial board member of Energies, Buildings and Clean Technologies.
The first speaker to present was Prof. Dr. Umberto Berardi, with a talk on “Superisulating Materials for Energy Efficiency”. Dr. Berardi is Canada Research Chair in Building Science, Full Professor, and Director of the BeTOP center at Toronto Metropolitan University in Canada and Professor at Politecnico di Bari Italy.
Unfortunately, Dr. Aritra Ghosh could not attend the webinar due to reasons outside of his control. He was unable to give his presentation on “Smart/ Advanced Window for Less Energy Hungry Buildings”.
The final speaker of the day was Dr. George Syrrokostas, with a presentation titled “Photoelectrochromic Devices: History, Current Status and Future Outlook”. Dr. George Syrrokostas is currently a research associate at the Physics Department of University of Patras, Greece, where he also received his Ph.D. degree. His current research is focused on the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanomaterials for third generation solar cells, mainly dye sensitized and perovskite solar cells. He works also on the development of novel photoelectrochromic devices for energy efficient buildings.
The presentations were followed by a question time moderated by the chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend.
