MICA (Monitoring Internal Comfort Application): A new BIM tool processing IEQ data input for building management and energetic optimizations

Façades are one of the main elements that affect indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in buildings and building performance. Given the increasing development of sensor technology, the collection of building monitoring data is useful to understand whether the building and in particular the façade system performs as designed.

Design of a Glass Walkway in the Historical City of Pisa using Jumbo Glass Slabs

The project for a structural glass walkway originates from the plan of the Municipality of Pisa to connect two historical public buildings of the old town centre, respectively Palazzo Pretorio and Palazzo delle Logge di Banchi, see figures 1a) and b). The design, signed by arch. Roberto Pasqualetti, was developed by paying specific attention to the architectural and historical value of these two buildings. The basic idea is to build a footbridge that does not alter the Renaissance perspective of this area.
