30 October 2025 | Politecnico di Milano – Lecco Campus 

How can we accurately assess the performance of innovative building envelope systems? A seminar organised by Politecnico di Milano and University of Brescia, in the framework of the MEZeroE project, will address this question, offering insights and practical guidance for designers and construction professionals. 

The seminar will present methods and tools developed by the research teams involved in MEZeroE, aimed at helping the building sector improve the energy efficiency, resilience, and overall performance of envelope solutions for nearly-zero energy constructions. 

The seminar will feature presentations by: 

Prof. Graziano Salvalai, Politecnico di Milano – Dipartimento di Architettura, Ingegneria delle Costruzioni e Ambiente Costruito (DABC), Building façadE performancE Lab. 

Prof.ssa Marta M. Sesana, Università degli Studi di Brescia – Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Architettura, Territorio, Ambiente e di Matematica (DICATAM), Building façadE performancE Lab. 

Prof. Matteo Colombo, Politecnico di Milano – Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale (DICA), Laboratorio Materiali e Strutture in Calcestruzzo 

Following the presentations, attendees will be invited to take part in a guided tour of the laboratories, showcasing the experimental research equipment and live demonstrations of some of their applications.
