O autorze

Professor Francesca Stazi is Ph.D and Associate Professor in Building Construction at Polytechnic University of Marche. She is the author of more than 65 publications including 25 papers on ISI/Scopus Journals and 1 international book. Her studies regard energy efficient buildings, occupants’ behaviour, thermal comfort and environmental sustainability. She has been participating for two years at the European New TREND Project, regarding human–building interactions. 

Dr Federica Naspi studied Building and Behavioural Sciences and she has been working for two years in the context of the New TREND Project, focusing especially on the understanding of human–building interactions. She has published in both national and international journals, predominantly on users’ adaptive actions on building devices, and on the development of behavioural models.
