Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Nastasi, B. (author)High efficiency paradigms and rigorous normative standards for new and existing buildings are fundamental components of sustainability and energy transitions strategies today. However, optimistic assumptions and simplifications are often considered in the design phase and, even when detailed simulation tools are used, the validation of...journal article 2020

Prina, Matteo Giacomo (author), Manzolini, Giampaolo (author), Moser, David (author), Nastasi, B. (author), Sparber, Wolfram (author)This paper reviews the classification schemes used for bottom-up energy system modelling and proposes a novel one as re-elaboration of the previous schemes. Moreover, this paper identifies that the main challenges of this research field rotate around the concept of resolution. A matrix of challenges in which four main fields are identified:...review 2020

Tronchin, Lamberto (author), Merli, Francesca (author), Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Nastasi, B. (author)During the renovation of auditoria and concert halls, the acoustic quality is normally evaluated from measurements of impulse responses. One possibility for evaluating the acoustic quality from the measurements (the simulations) consists of convolving anechoic music with the measured (or simulated) impulse responses. In this way, a psycho...journal article 2020

Tronchin, Lamberto (author), Merli, Francesca (author), Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Nastasi, B. (author)Soundfield diffuseness in rooms is considered a fundamental aspect of a high-quality room acoustics. Since early studies by Hodgson up to more recent studies of Shtrepi and Embrechts, it was shown that high levels of sound diffuseness could guarantee blending of music, as well as spatial sound perception by listeners, and this could enhance...journal article 2020

Vaisi, Salah (author), Mohammadi, S. (author), Nastasi, B. (author), Javanrodi, Kavan (author)In 2008, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE TM46 UC) presented an annual-fixed thermal energy benchmark of 240 kWh/m2/yr for university campus (UC) buildings as an attempt to reduce energy consumption in public buildings. However, the CIBSE TM46 UC benchmark fails to consider the difference between energy demand in...journal article 2020

Mancini, Francesco (author), Nastasi, B. (author)EU targets for sustainable development call for strong changes in the current energy systems as well as committed protection of environmental resources. This target conflicts if a policy is not going to promote the compatible solutions to both the issues. This is the case of the additional renewable energy sources to be exploited for...journal article 2020

Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Nastasi, B. (author), Merli, Francesca (author), Vodola, Vincenzo (author)The acoustic quality of concert halls is extremely relevant for the modeling and simulation of the global music experience and for improving the acoustic design of music spaces. Furthermore, the acoustic characteristics of historical opera houses are considered to be one of the most important intangible elements of the cultural heritage of...conference paper 2020

Nastasi, B. (author), Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Merli, Francesca (author), Vodola, Vincenzo (author)The acoustic quality in auditorium and concert halls is normally evaluated by the measurements of Impulse responses (monaural, binaural or even MIMO). The subjective evaluation is often obtained by convolving anechoic music with the measured IRs. The psycho-acoustical experiment is achieved using a virtual sound field representation. At the...conference paper 2020

Vodola, Vincenzo (author), Nastasi, B. (author), Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Merli, Francesca (author)The design of auditoria and opera houses requires particular care for the stage area, where several different requirements should be achieved for the performers. Among these, the acoustic quality represents a fundamental aspect, and it differs from the listeners' perspective. Moreover, the performing area in concert halls is often an...conference paper 2020

Nastasi, B. (author), Manfren, Massimiliano (author), Merli, Francesca (author)Acoustic performance of concert halls and opera houses is usually assessed by measuring the BIRs (Binaural Impulse Responses). Anechoic music convoluted with BIRs constitutes the virtual sound in the way it is played in the sound field, i.e. the room. From BIRs, the IACC (Inter-Aural Cross Correlation) can be computed. This parameter makes it...conference paper 2020

Mancini, Francesco (author), Nastasi, B. (author)Electrification of the built environment is foreseen as a main driver for energy transition for more effective, electric renewable capacity firming. Direct and on-time use of electricity is the best way to integrate them, but the current energy demand of residential building stock is often mainly fuel-based. Switching from fuel to electric...journal article 2019

Indeed, continuous performance monitoring should become a more diffuse practice in order to improve our design and operation strategies for the future. This is an essential step to reduce...journal article 2019
