Metànoia is an invite to change your mind in favour of a spare use of resources, giving value to local resources in terms of both sustainable construction materials and traditions, technological and cultural innovation: these actions group together different fields, from architecture to engineering to design.
The common goal is to take conscious decisions for a good realization of design solutions and for the respect of natural equilibrium that characterizes our habitat.

Master of Architecture (M.Arch.), Master KlimaHaus-BioArchitecture
KlimaHaus Sustainability Consultant and Auditor
Master of Architecture (M.Arch.), Master KlimaHaus-BioArchitecture
Born in Cagliari in 1979, Stefania Di Benedetto graduated at Architecture faculty in Florence. From 2008 to 2011 she attended a PHD in Energetic at the Department of Energy, Systems, Territory, and Construction Engineeringat Pisa University, with a research on energy audit in buildings, particularly on thermal behavior of adobe buildings. This research won her a grant by Regione Autonoma della Sardegna as part of the program called Master and Back to attend a high educational path.
She attended many trainings about energy saving (“CasaClima” training as consultant and auditor; “Carlesi” training as thermo-graphic operator and II level auditor UNI EN 473; level I training in heat-flow metering), specialized courses on Hearth Architecture (taught by Arch. M. Achenza at UNESCO accredited Chair at the Engineering Faculty in Cagliari and at CRAterre dell'Ecolè Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Grenoble). She collaborated with ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) - UDA-ADVISOR-ENEA, Frascati – for testing of new analysis models and design of energy efficient and low-environmental impact buildings.
She collaborated with TSC srl in Prato as a consultant for a software about energy savings (for developing of the software called BEES).
She organized and coordinated UNESCO Convention “Environmental Sustainability in Architecture: awareness in design to control energy consumptions”, during UNESCO week “ Stop climate change, stop CO2” (November-2007).

January 2007
She won the first edition of “Degree Thesis Competition about Energy Efficiency topics” promoted by Dintec, ENEA and UNIONCAMERE.
March 2008
She won “ENERGETHICA Prize 2008”, sponsored by Emtrad srl, for “Promotion of Sustainable Energy Young Talents”, Fiera di Genova.
July 2011
She won a grant by Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea, “Funding of a Research Project for energy efficiency interventions and use of Renewable Energy Sources in urban areas”.
Winning project: "Domus Naturalis".
September 2013
She won a two-year research grant " Simulation and test in climatic chamber and in situ of opaque building envelope's hygro-thermal behaviour under Mediterranean climatic conditions", from University of Cagliari (Department of Civil, environmental and architectural Engineering)
In May 2012 she founded Metanoia Architecture Studio.
Main activities are architectural and energy design of low-energy buildings with a particular care in research and use of local and natural materials and
in existing buildings’ energy saving (consulting in the executive design of KlimaHaus R energy labeling, KlimaHaus Gold, KlimaHaus Nature); collaboration with NGOs (A.SE.CON) for making people aware of sustainable development ; bioclimatic consulting even at international level, ENPI-RELS project – October-2012 (http://www.projet-rels.eu/Fr/presentation_11_11).
Activity
A_Architecture and Energy Efficiency:
We assist the clients along the design process according to their needs, giving the right information about the solutions to adopt during the construction phase. The aim behind any design idea is the realization of an object that is energy efficient both during its lifetime and at the end of its life cycle thanks to the use of low embodied energy materials.
Q_Quality outputs:
On demand we will assist you for the realization of a KlimaHaus high quality brand building, that is we follow the principles that will lead the projects towards the KlimaHaus Certification. KlimaHaus energy certification doesn’t substitute the national Italian certification based on UNI TS 11300 regulation, but constitutes a parallel design process which has the double aim to enhance client’s awareness towards really sustainable buildings and to enhance the public awareness about these topics.

S_Sustainability
Metànoia offers technical support to obtain KlimaHaus Sustainability Labels about the sustainibility of accommodations, new or needing energy renewal. Sustainability certifications for Hotels, Wineries, Offices, Schools, B&B are related to energy optimisation and especially to the sustainability to the management of the building.The last includes a formative plan for the employees and a sensibilisation one for the guests.
W_Workshop:
Metànoia Studio organizes theoretical-practical, tutorial or training workshops about eco-friendly construction techniques.
C_Cooperation:
Metànoia Studio together with other trade associations supports national cooperation activities that are sincerely voted to offer a contribution in solving social problems and in environmental topics sensibilisation.
R_Research:
Metànoia Studio is available to write research projects as a connection between business companies and University, particularly about thermal comfort analysis of indoor environments.
