Chairman of the VIII SET Plan Conference in the frame of Italian EU Presidency, Dec 2014. PROF. MAURIZIO CELLURA Full professor of Building physics and energy systems since 2011 at the University of Palermo, his scientific activity is mainly oriented towards energy and environmental topics, with focus on energy efficiency in buildings, technologies powered by renewable energy and decarbonization strategies of systems and processes. His experience on international level on building science and LCA is clarified by the coordination of several national and International research projects on energy-environmental topics, his teaching experiences in international courses and seminars and by the participation to many International Energy Agency work groups:task 27 (Performance of Solar Facade Components), 38 (Solar air-conditioning and refrigeration), 48 (Quality Assurance & Support Measures for Solar Cooling Systems) and 40 (Towards Solar net zero energy buildings), Annex 57 (Evaluation of embodied energy and CO2eq for building construction) and 62 (Ventilative cooling). He is also author of more than 260 in the fields of LCA, multicriteria decision making, industrial ecology, energy efficiency in buildings and building simulation. He has worked in the field of LCA applied to buildings in the last three decades and has recently become President of the Italian Life Cycle Assessment network. SONIA LONGO Sonia Longo is graduated summa cum laude in Environmental Engineering at University of Palermo. She has completed her PhD in Applied Physics in 2010. Actually, she is researcher at the University of Palermo. She was third place at the Young Researchers Award LCA 2011 with a research titled "The input-output model applied to sustainable production and consumption strategies of: an Italian case study".
