MULTICLIMACT Special Session at IEEE MetroLivEnv 2025: Pushing the Boundaries of Human-Centric and Resilient Building Solutions

16. Juni 2025 | News

At HEALTHY BUILDINGS 2025 in Reykjavík, Mina Moayyedi (RWTH Aachen) presented MULTICLIMACT research on how current building guidelines support resilience and well-being. As climate impacts grow, designing healthier indoor environmentMULTICLIMACT hosted a new special session at IEEE MetroLivEnv 2025 in Venice, showcasing the latest project innovations for resilient and human-centred building environments, following up on last year’s successful debut.  

The special session “Measurement systems and strategies for the assessment of personalized comfort in the built environment: towards human-centric and resilient building management solutions” marked the MULTICLIMACT’s commitment on safeguarding the built environment at the IEEE MetroLivEnv 2025 conference held in Venice, Italy from 11 to 13 June 2025. The session was chaired by Gloria Cosoli (eCampus University) and Sara Casaccia (UNIVPM) and featured several cutting-edge contributions from the MULTICLIMACT project.   

The session built on the momentum of last year’s highly successful MULTICLIMACT-led special session at MetroLivEnv 2024, which helped spark new discussions on data-driven approaches to monitoring and managing the built environment. You can read about last year’s session here. 

This year’s programme highlighted the project’s diverse and collaborative research: 

• “Development and Outdoor Testing Based on Monitoring Data and Finite Volume Models of Cool Asphalt Prototypes in HE MULTICLIMACT”, presented by Diego Zamora Sanchez and authored by TECNALIA and COMSA. 

• “Enhancing the Built Environment Resilience: Integrating the MULTICLIMACT CREMA Tool, Sensing and Digital Solutions for Building Protection and Occupants’ Well-Being Assessment”, presented by Gian Marco Revel and authored by RINA, LIS, eCampus University, and UNIVPM. 

• “Development of a BIM-Based Platform for the Assessment of Indoor Multidomain Comfort”, presented by Gloria Cosoli and authored by eCampus, LIS, UNIVPM, and UKA. 

The special session once again underlined MULTICLIMACT’s leadership in developing human-centric, resilient, and climate-responsive solutions for the built environment.
