The MIT Mobile Experience Lab, within the Design Laboratory, signed a 3 years strategic alliance with the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, a local research institute, to advance research in sustainable connected homes, including subtopics of renewable energy systems, sustainable architecture, social sustainability, and connected information systems to optimize home behavior and people's lives.

The project, which is promoted by the Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy, will conclude with building a full-scale prototype of a sustainable home with new technologies, materials, and applications.

(Also here several former Ivreans are involved including Dave Chiu, Hector Ouilhet and Silvia Gabrielli).
