SUPSI

The University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) is one of the nine professional universities recognised by the Swiss Confederation. The Institute of Applied Sustainability to the Built Environment (ISAAC) within the Department of Environment Constructions and Design (DACD) at SUPSI, promotes the energy transition towards a zero-emission society based on an inter- and transdisciplinary approach in the areas of characterisation and reliability of photovoltaics and their integration in the building, intelligent management of renewable energy in the grid, energy efficiency of buildings and their maintenance. The complex energy transition also includes the proposal of more sustainable choices and lifestyles, involving local and civil society stakeholders. Among the many goals of the DACD, one is to promote interprofessional and transdisciplinary cultures and practices.
