A great part (over 25 years) of the scientific career of Pietromaria Davoli has been focused on:
- relationships between environment, architecture (from the spontaneous pre-industrial) and sustainable technologies, particularly for energy efficiency control in new buildings;
- technological innovation with specific interest in timber building systems;
- environmental and energy refurbishment of existing buildings, with particular attention to the historic heritage.
He has coordinated and has been involved, at national and international level, in several research projects for the analysis of the environmental and energy behaviour of such buildings for the development of specific tools for the intervention planning phase and for the support in the decision-making process (i.e. for public buildings management). In particular the research project “Sustainable Unife” is underlined (proposal for preliminary energy retrofit actions of about 50 buildings of the University of Ferrara heritage, 2014-2017).
In the last years the multidisciplinary Research Centre “Architettura>Energia” (A>E) of the Department of Architecture (DA) at the University of Ferrara (Unife), Italy, coordinated by P. Davoli, has elaborated the following expertise: 1) Coordinating of the activities for the development of the new rating system GBC Historic Building; 2) UPPER - Urban Parametric Protocol for Energy Retrofit, an experimental method to drive expedite energy audits of the existing building stock of social housing; 3) Developing a parametric energy assessment tool to ease the planning of retrofit actions applied to historical villages; 4) Analysing energy calculation tools and corrective actions, addressed towards historical architecture; 5) A>E group is involved in “Task 59 - Deep retrofit of historic buildings towards lowest possible energy demand and CO2 emissions (NZEB)” of the International Energy Agency SHC (leader: EURAC Research Bolzano).
