I’m Nicolò Guariento, a building sustainability consultant dedicated to rethinking how we design, deliver, and operate the built environment. I collaborate with real estate investors, developers, architects, and portfolio managers to integrate decarbonisation and digitalisation as strategic levers for long-term resilience and innovation.
At the core of my work is a commitment to challenging the status quo of building design. I promote a future-oriented, resilient, and regenerative approach that moves beyond compliance and static performance targets. By combining carbon reduction strategies with a strong focus on occupant well-being and adaptive capacity, I seek to enable a new paradigm—one where buildings actively respond to social, environmental, and technological change.
Decarbonisation
We do not have a problem with energy consumption; we have a problem with the greenhouse gas emissions. The imperative to curtail carbon emissions within the built environment has never been more urgent, necessitating meticulous planning across the entire lifecycle of a building. Furthermore a durable building will be exposed to changing climate conditions throughout its life: adapting its performance becomes indispensable for a building that is truly future-oriented and enduring.

Digitalisation
Harnessing the power of data is instrumental not only in saving time avoiding repetitive tasks but also and foremost in understanding the complexity of the built environment, in deep focusing on the real challenges and opportunities of a regenerative design and in tuning performance and forecasting maintenance activities. A seamless integration of data harvesting and analysis allows to elevate the comfort and security for all users, to reduce the environmental impact and to amplify operational efficiency during the lifecycle of the building .

Building Physics
To grasp the complexity of the relationship between buildings, their users and the constantly changing climate conditions it is fundamental to understand the physical phenomena occurring in and around construction. A robust façade design serves as the cornerstone for a resilient building. This includes an optimisation of the hygrothermal, solar and energy performance of all components.
