To enhance the quality of life in cities, it is necessary to improve the energy performance of buildings together with a sustainable urban planning especially in high-density contexts. Previous works investigated the building shape, the urban morphology, and the local climate conditions to optimize the energy performance for space heating of buildings.
Energy Communities (EC) are intended as legal entities that can ensure environmental, economic, a...nd social benefits for energy exchanges between its members. The Italian legislation has recently introduced incentives to Renewable Energy Communities (REC).
The European Union is leading the global fight against climate change, and has made it one of its... top priority. The EU committed itself to reducing its overall emissions to at least 20 % below 1990 levels by 2020 and at 40% by 2030.
Declinare il paradigma della resilienza nella pianificazione territoriale dell’energia può contri...buire ad orientare la transizione energetica verso modelli sostenibili di sviluppo. L’articolo discute il progetto pioniere delle Comunità Energetiche piemontesi. Sono qui presentati gli esiti della sperimentazione di una metodologia multidimensionale di analisi e valutazione dei territori, al fine di supportare la transizione energetica verso modelli green di sviluppo territoriale.
The Paris Agreement on climate change signed during the recent XXI United Nations Convention gener...ates further incentives towards sustainable development.
For many years, the European Union has been designing and constantly reformulating various energy... policies for the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions in order to contain the effects of climate change.
The objectives of the European Energy transition entail an increasing use of electricity especial...ly for residential sector. Member states are invited to promote energy policies that involve stakeholders directly.
The Clean Energy Package is aimed at making the energy transition recommended by the European Union more competitive. Such an energy transition can be achieved through a variety of measures aimed at improving the security, sustainability and competitiveness of energy supply systems. These measure include the introduction of physical and regulatory infrastructures that are adequate to satisfy the energy market requirements, integrate renewable energies and ensure security of the energy supply.
