Retrofitting existing buildings with adequate cutting-edge technologies is thought to guarantees spectacular energy savings, by about 50%. The objective of the EU funded project BRICKER is precisely to demonstrate such possibility. Luigi Crema, a physicist who is the head of the Applied Research on Energy System (ARES) group at the Bruno Kessler Foundation, a private foundation dedicated to research and controlled by the Province of Trento, in Italy, talks to youris.com about the challenges of applying solar technologies to smart buildings, smart communities and smart cities.
