Associate - Building Physics and Sustainability Lead, FMDC
Gianluca is an Associate at FMDC, one of the top façade and materials consultancies in the UK. He is a façade engineer with a strong background in building envelope physics; before moving to the UK, he completed a PhD in Italy where he studied the optimisation of façade design for energy savings and comfort. Since joining FMDC in 2017, he has been leading the Building Physics team and he has worked on projects across all stages, from concept design to construction. In recent years Gianluca’s keen interest in sustainability and low-carbon design has led him to coordinate FMDC’s efforts in investigating the role of façades in reducing both the operational and embodied carbon of buildings. Gianluca is also active in the UK construction industry writing and presenting about low carbon envelope design, and he was involved in writing the first ever methodology to calculate embodied carbon of façades.
