MEZeroE

💡 So much has happened lately — and it’s not finished Over the past few months, we’ve been busy at MEZeroE: ➡️ Hosting a full series of webinars ➡️ Running exciting contests with Pellini and Focchi Group ➡️ Taking part in inspiring in-person events like InnoRenew CoE Thank you to everyone who joined us, collaborated, and shared ideas. Your engagement keeps our ecosystem alive. 🙌 But we’re not stopping here. 🚀 Our partners have been making great progress — and new success stories are on the way. 📅 More events are coming soon. Because at MEZeroE, we’re committed to driving innovation for nearly zero-energy building envelopes — and supporting those who make it happen. Stay tuned ! 🌍

How can we measure the real performance of innovative building envelope systems? A seminar hosted by Politecnico di Milano and University of Brescia will show designers and construction professionals how research can support better energy efficiency, resilience, and overall performance of building envelopes. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲: Prof. Graziano Salvalai – Politecnico di Milano Prof.ssa Marta Maria Sesana – University of Brescia Prof. Matteo Colombo – Politecnico di Milano They will present methods and tools developed within the MEZeroE project, followed by a guided lab tour to see the experimental equipment used to test innovative façade technologies. 🗓️ 30 October 2025 📍 Politecnico di Milano – Lecco Campus Link: https://lnkd.in/ewsXuDXS innovativi/

Last week, MEZeroE had the pleasure of joining the InnoRenew CoE International Conference 2025: “From lab to life: innovative solutions for a healthier and greener built environment.” 🌍🏗️ For two inspiring days (16–17 September), researchers, innovators, and industry experts came together to discuss how renewable materials can shape healthier, more sustainable buildings. The sessions covered key topics, including: 🔹 Advanced Manufacturing 🔹 Information Processing 🔹 Creativity & Society 🔹 Buildings 🔹 Health 🔹 Materials It was an intense program, but also an important reminder of why collaboration and innovation are essential if we want to achieve zero-energy, sustainable buildings. At MEZeroE, we are committed to fostering this ecosystem by connecting research, industry, and digital tools to accelerate the transition toward a greener built environment.
