Dr. Cristina Carpino is a research fellow at the Department of Mechanical, Energy, and Management Engineering at the University of Calabria (Italy). She graduated in Building Engineering and Architecture in 2011, with a thesis focused on the use of passive solar systems to reduce energy consumption in buildings. In 2019, she completed her Ph.D. in Civil and Industrial Engineering, addressing the topic of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB). Her research specifically investigated innovative technical solutions for warm climates and the impact of occupancy.

Dr. Carpino has actively participated in national and international research projects, co-authoring numerous scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals within the energy efficiency sector. She is an expert in energy performance legislation, environmental sustainability rating systems, and dynamic energy simulation. She is involved in training activities at the University of Calabria, particularly in the field of building energy certification.

Her research is centered on sustainable building design, renovation of existing structures, smart buildings, and the integration of renewable energy, with an emphasis on eco-design for promoting green practices within the construction sector.
