U No system through the “slot” replaces the traffic lights, a car that exceeds the concept of car sharing in Singapore, the local warming in Boston and label with a sensor to allow the retrieval of waste in Seattle.
These are some of the technological solutions being tested that will make future cities more efficient, presented this morning during the third edition of the Verona Efficiency Summit, chaired by Professor Federico Head, Commissioner ENEA.
The increasing use of sensors and portable electronics in recent years – he said Carlo Ratti, Director of MIT Senseable City Lab – allows a new approach to the study of the urban environment. The big data, or data from sources such technology, can help you understand the instincts of cities and their hidden dynamics, a useful tool to solve some problem areas such as traffic, energy consumption and air pollution .
The importance of technology for the development of energy efficiency was enhanced by the contribution of the institutional world that has seen the presence of Samuel Furfari, Advisor to the Director General of DG Energy of the European Commission .
The challenge is the cultural and technological revolution in the field of energy efficiency. Technological innovation will allow a cultural change. If in 2000 the priority was the security of supply, now we have moved to sustainable development and the priority now is growth that is not a choice but a necessity.
Furfari also defined the next targets of the European Union including the security of supply for the EU imports 50% of our needs, the completion of the internal market for gas and energy efficiency.
Simona Vicari, Secretary of State the Ministry of Economic Development, with responsibility for “Smart Cities” emphasized the savings targets reached and those provided by the upcoming projects of the government.
Compared with the objective set by EEAP-action plans on energy efficiency for the period 2011-2020 the energy savings achieved in Italy in 2013 amounted to over 3.2 million toe / year, equivalent to about 21% of the final objective. These savings come half from the mechanism must the White Certificates. At sector level, the residential has already achieved a third lens awaited industry over a quarter Regarding the national fund energy efficiency, the draft decree implementing the Fund is in the process of enactment, and will make available the resources allocated, for an availability of 70 million euro a year until 2020, a total benefit of energy efficiency.
Smart Energy Expo, the first year has deepened his knowledge of figures professionally ” new “as the Energy Manager, this year has focused attention on the EGE-Expert in energy management, in a conference made in collaboration with Assoege and the patronage of Accredia. The EGE that in Italy today are 500, are new professionals and with them many companies rely on to design and implement energy efficiency measures.
This afternoon there will be the inauguration of the Conference instead of Greenbuild EuroMed first edition for Europe and the Mediterranean event dedicated to sustainable building, which will be Rick Fedrizzi, CEO the U.S. Green Building Council.
