Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Architecture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Architectural engineering, Civil engineering, Environmental resource management, Sustainable development and Environmental economics. As a part of the same scientific family, Umberto Berardi mostly works in the field of Architectural engineering, focusing on Thermal comfort and, on occasion, Architectural technology and Urban climate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sustainable design, Building energy and Urban heat island in addition to Civil engineering.

Umberto Berardi combines subjects such as Total quality management, Urban planning, Sustainability organizations and Social sustainability with his study of Sustainable development. His study in the fields of Smart growth under the domain of Urban planning overlaps with other disciplines such as Currency, Meaning and Smart city. His Environmental economics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Performance measurement and Indoor air quality.

His most cited work include:

  • Smart Cities: Definitions, Dimensions, Performance, and Initiatives (1096 citations)
  • State-of-the-art analysis of the environmental benefits of green roofs (351 citations)
  • Acoustic characterization of natural fibers for sound absorption applications (221 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Architectural engineering, Composite material, Acoustics, Thermal comfort and Thermal conductivity. The various areas that Umberto Berardi examines in his Architectural engineering study include Sustainable design, Daylight and Glazing. His work carried out in the field of Composite material brings together such families of science as Characterization, Thermal resistance, Thermal and Attenuation coefficient.
