About EAP lab
From BAIO project in 2011... to the ERC grant, 10 years later!
The EAP LAB in the Department of Engineering at University of Perugia arises from the success of the BAIO project (Italian acronym meaning Indoor and Outdoor Environmental Comfort) supported by the Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia Bank foundation in 2011-2012.
BAIO project, Indoor and Outdoor Environmental Comfort, is aimed at evaluating the in-field performance of both traditional and innovative buildings’ envelope systems. To this end two full-sized prototype buildings are constructed. The first building is characterized by traditional construction technologies, and the second one is characterized by more advanced techniques. These two buildings have the same thermal-energy parameters, such as the envelope transmittance and thermal capacity. The project consists of the continuous monitoring of the indoor and outdoor performance of these prototypes through monitoring stations, specifically designed within the framework of the same BAIO initiative. This study allows to assess the performance of several systems, components and materials used for the construction of the test-rooms. The method basically consists of in-field continuous experimental monitoring coupled with numerical analysis. The experimental activity is carried out simultaneously with in-lab investigations by CIRIAF as well.
The final goal is the development and the optimization of materials and innovative envelope systems, in terms of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
After 10 years, we finally got the first ERC StG of the EAP-group! if you are interested in learning more about it, check the EU project section out, or write an email to the PI prof. Anna Laura Pisello, [email protected]

Starting from this local experience, we have been working on building physics issues about new materials for energy efficiency and urban heat island mitigation, microclimate analysis in the indoors and outdoors, innovative energy systems.
EAP team now
Now the team is composed by several young and experienced scientists with a strong background in engineering, architecture, or physics and a PhD in Energy Engineering or Energy and Sustainable Development at University of Perugia, Italy. Dedicated sub-teams are open to new ideas and daily inspiration, mostly focused on these three main topics: (i) new materials for the built environment, (ii) the human perspective in building occupancy and indoor-outdoor comfort, (iii) urban environment and boundary conditions of districts. and energy systems.
Most of the work is currently supported by local, national and, most of all, several successfull European funded projects under the framework of Horizon 2020 programme.
