DESCRIPTION:Cristina MUNARI PROBST\nSustainable development issues have la
 tely become a major concern for our society\, leading to a new interest fo
 r solar energy use in buildings. The resulting widespread use of solar sys
 tems will require all actors in the field to deal at best with the impact 
 of this new reality on buildings design and cities landscapes. Architects 
 will have to improve their knowledge\, authorities will have to develop ne
 w adapted building and urban regulations\, and manufacturers will have to 
 develop new products conceived for building integration.\nRecent researche
 s in these fields will be presented.\n\nMaria Cristina Munari Probst is a 
 practicing architect\, researcher and lecturer.\nAfter studying architectu
 re at the universities of Venice IUAV (I) and Bath (UK)\, she designed in 
 2000 one of the first passive houses in Switzerland. She joined EPFL in 20
 03 for a PhD in solar thermal integration\, resulting in the book "Archite
 ctural integration and design of solar thermal systems"\, Routledge\, 2011
 .\nIn the last ten years she participated to international energy tasks an
 d worked on the development of several architect oriented solar products\,
  tools and solar energy information web-sites.\nShe is at present sub-task
  leader of IEA Task 41 “Solar Energy and Architecture”\, and responsib
 le for the development of a tool assessing the acceptability of active sol
 ar systems at the urban level. She teaches building integration of solar e
 nergy systems at EPFL at 3rd year course "Architectural integration of sol
 ar energy" and at the course "Indoor environment quality and energy in bui
 ldings".
