Professor Gianluca Ranzi works in the fields of structural engineering, architectural science, building-to-grid integration and heritage conservation.
His work aims at producing technological developments that enhance building functionalities, with particular focus on adaptive structural systems that improve indoor comfort conditions, building technologies for the mitigation of urban heat island effects and energy demand side management strategies for the building-to-grid integration.
He also studies the behaviour of concrete and composite steel-concrete structures and other building materials, and contributes to the development of technical guidelines and safety standards for buildings, bridges and other infrastructure.
His interest in heritage buildings is focussed at the development of condition assessment strategies for twentieth century concrete structures within the framework of conservation principles.
