Sara Viazzo

Sara Viazzo serves as a Lecturer at the Department of Energy (DENERG) at Politecnico di Torino, where she functions as an External Teacher and Course Collaborator across multiple engineering and architecture programs. Her institutional affiliation centers on sustainable building technologies and energy systems within the university's engineering framework.

Her research focuses on sustainable architecture and energy efficiency, with particular expertise in building physics, environmental technical physics, and sustainable behavior assessment. Current work emphasizes building performance evaluation, thermal comfort analysis, and renewable energy integration in Mediterranean climates. Her methodological approaches combine multi-criteria modeling, dynamic simulation, and field measurements to address real-world sustainability challenges in both new constructions and retrofits.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to sustainable building science, with notable work on the Smart Readiness Indicator validation, heat pump system assessments, and comprehensive building performance frameworks. Her research trajectory shows increasing emphasis on data-driven sustainability metrics and practical implementation strategies for energy transition.

Teaching responsibilities include Environmental Technical Physics for Architecture programs and specialized workshops on Sustainable Architecture Design. She has consistently contributed to the Challenge@PoliTo initiative focused on Silver Economy solutions and campus sustainability projects through serious games.
