Analysis and monitoring of photovoltaic systems
Photovoltaic systems are built to last. However, the performance of a system indicated by the manufacturer does not always turn out to be that achieved in the actual system.
Territorial services - DACD
The Department's research units support companies, organisations and institutions by providing advice and services to develop tailor-made solutions to specific issues.

Results83
Analysis and optimisation of energy consumption in complex buildings
Analysis and identification of optimisation strategies to sustainably reduce the energy consumption and energy costs of buildings or building parks.
Analysis of highly pathogenic agents from environmental samples
The Regional Laboratory South (LR South), part of the Swiss RLN network, handles type B biological alarms, supports reference centres and ensures decentralised analysis of high-risk microorganisms.
Analysis of natural hazards and risks by gravitational processes
Stability analysis of natural and artificial slopes, numerical modeling of processes, and creation of natural hazards and risk maps.
Analysis of natural hazards and risks for fluvial and torrential processes
Hydrological analysis for the assessment of river peak flow, hydraulic modeling for the determination of hazard areas for flooding and debris flow phenomena.
Analysis of the deterioration, energy and maintenance status
The use of an innovative analysis method, supported by advanced digital tools and the team's experience, makes it possible to obtain an accurate snapshot of the building's state of preservation, assess energy efficiency, and propose interventions.
Analysis of the effect of vibration on structures
Vibrations that propagate through a structure can cause significant damage, generating potential hazardous situations.
Appraisals in the planning area
We prepare expert reports analyzing revisions of master plans, detailed plans or neighborhood plans, and construction projects for their suitability and eligibility from the standpoint of land use planning, environment, and protection.
Archaeometric analyses
Material authentication, provenance and dating.
Architectural survey
On demand we carry out surveys of architectural objects in their entirety or only of a specific part.
Assessment of the chemical, physical and biological status of lakes and rivers
Assessing and monitoring the ecological status of lakes and rivers involves measuring multiple chemical, physical and biological parameters, including key bio-indicators.
Biocide activity on biofilm (ASTM E2871-21)
Method to evaluate the efficacy of biocides against microbial biofilms using the CDC Biofilm Reactor and the single-tube technique.
