About the Author
Arianna Brambilla is a Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Sydney. Her research draws upon architecture, building physics, and engineering to assess and interpret construction as a holistic concept, with a strong focus on sustainability.
Gabriele is an emerging researcher in renewable energy, with a focus on the
digitalization of solar energy in the built environment. His background is
grounded on building engineer and architecture knowledge and his expertise
convers solar energy systems integration at building and district level, urban
energy planning, smart cities, climate-based solutions, mitigation, and adaptation
strategies, and environmental, microclimate, and energy analyses.
He is contributing to advance the state-of-the-art of solar energy exploration
and integration through the definition of solar neighborhoods’ archetypes,
approaches, methods, and tools to accelerate the use of solar energy in
built environments. Gabriele coordinated the Subtask C “Case studies and
action research in the IEA Task 51 Solar Energy in Urban Planning and
now he is coordinating the Subtask D “Case studies in the IEA Task 63
Solar Neighbourhood Planning and the activity A3 - BIPV in our society
within IEA PVPS Task 15 - Enabling Framework for the Development of
BIPV. Gabriele has experienced in several national (REINVENT and
HELIOS), European (Exploit4InnoMat, RAMSES, and CoSSMic), and international
research projects (SEniC, SiNoPSE, and iSTAR). Gabriele has co-/
author of more than 65 publications, including research and review articles
in international high-impact peer-reviewed journals, national and international
conference proceedings, book chapters, and books.
Francesco Goia is a Professor of Building Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on advanced building envelopes and services providing high energy efficiency and indoor climate performance.
Annalisa Andaloro is a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Renewable Energy in EURAC, focusing on system integration and project economics. She coordinates an executive international training course on façade architecture, construction, and engineering (FACE).

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
