This research was developed at Politecnico di Milano, C.E.C.H. laboratory (Climate and Energy for Cultural Heritage). The intermediate outcomes were previously published in specific essays (Del Curto et al. 2017, Del Curto et al. 2018) and within the Conservation management plan for this 20th-century architectural masterpiece (Borgarino et al. 2019, pp. 356-415). Arch. Luca Valisi was responsible for both measurements on-field and image editing. Eng. Mara Bellebono authored an M.Sc Thesis on the same subject under the guidance of Prof. Cesare Maria Joppolo in 2016. MTA Associati designed the pilot construction site project for the energy retrofit of Collegio Colle in 2016.
