Occupational safety and technological innovation – PMI.it

The maximum technological security is always payable by the employer? The Supreme Court makes it clear guidelines and responsibilities.

the Court of Supreme Court (in judgment no. 3616 of January 27, 2016 ) analyzed the application of the principle of Max security technologically feasible on the work and for the prevention of accidents: even with innovation can improve the safety conditions in the company, the employer is not required to replace equipment on if still appropriate and in any case not before an evaluation of time and costs .

= & gt; Safety: employers’ obligations and responsibilities

Responsibilities

The ruling stems from conviction for manslaughter , as part of The Court Spezia, the sole director of a limited company following the death of a worker dependent, recognizing responsibility for failure to adopt preventive measures key and not have them updated in relation to the degree of evolution of prevention and protection techniques.

Security

For the Supreme Court, citing the judgment n. 41944 of 19.10.2006, with reference to the maximum technological security payable by the employer, if the employer has more than prevention systems is required to take (unless impossible) one best placed to ensure the higher level of safety , without exception, especially if the assets to be protected are made from life and physical integrity of the people, whereas, conversely, a comparative assessment of costs and benefits is permissible only if the goods to be protected were only of a material nature.

= & gt; Accidents and occupational diseases: crimes and compensation

Speaking of “maximum technological security” However, the Court made it clear that while it is true that in the field of occupational accidents has taken charge of the entrepreneur in the enterprise (in this case the construction site) the most modern tools to ensure safety, it is equally important that if the research and development of knowledge will lead to the identification of multiple technologies appropriate can not be expected that the entrepreneur should undertake an ‘ immediate replacement with the most recent and innovative, having to always carry out an overall assessment of timing, terms and costs . Provided, of course, already adopted systems are apt to guarantee a high level of security.

Business and technology: Silicon Valley comes in football – The Republic

Rome – Silicon Valley, the ball is the new business. Pulls a lot in the United States and fell in love with technology, a duo that can produce interest and dollars, it ended up on the radar of the entrepreneurs who have helped to create multinational’s rooms. By next year will take the field for the first time in Nasl, the second American division, the San Francisco Deltas, deductible officially born a few days ago. A football team in the Bay, a challenge to the cousins ​​of Oakland, three ferry stops, kneeling at the court of Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. With an unknown president at these latitudes (and beyond): hi tech, who decides to place so many dollars in football, creating a start up of the ball. Investors who believed in the project to bring football in the Bay Area are the leading actors of Silicon Valley.

Managers, CEOs, central figures of multinationals such as Apple, Facebook, Google, PayPal, Twitter, Yahoo. And they bet on the dollar also Deltas other leaders from the venture capital firm, Draper Fisher Jurvetson including (DFJ), and Felicis Precursor. To get into the business they cut checks also entrepreneurs, who have called on the Brazilian World Cup to inflate the bank account. Therefore, tech giants who have sensed the deal, the sector with ample room for growth (coming deductibles also in San Antonio, Minnesota, perhaps Miami with David Beckham at the helm and we think Las Vegas), especially in Nasl that is not gestista with the financial rigor of the MLS, the salary cap that keeps the accounts in order of deductibles. You can spend (provided at least ten million dollars between staff, technicians, players, facilities, waiting for the spin-off, scheduled for February 2017), waiting for the cash register starts to return with interest. Meanwhile, the minds elected at High Californian tech have already identified three access password for success Deltas: transparency, innovation and community, available in various interviews by the Operation Deltas face (which has 18 entrepreneurs), Brian Andres Helmick Columbian theory at Stanford University, successfully practice on Wall Street, the sunset admirer in the Bay for 13 years, that two years ago he sold his company in human resources for start-ups, Algentis, founded eight years earlier. A guru of technology with instant cash for a new deal, who sat at the table of the owners of the other teams of Nasl to explain his idea of ​​football produced by braiding with technological innovation.

With the ‘use of virtual reality to improve sports performance of athletes – for example, the reflections of the goalkeepers – in training and then in the game and with a new format to raise the level of the show for the public. For example by allowing fans to choose the food to be enjoyed at the stadium, and above all to sit out the game, moving with sediolino in different areas, if the area reserved for families or between the most enthusiastic fans. And ‘the news brought by the smart ticketing, microchip installed on smart cards that take the place of traditional tickets (adopted dall’Hull City system for next season in the Premier League, with monthly subscriptions between 26 and 64 Euros). A gift of technology, the brand of the Valley factory that invests in the flask. In short, for Deltas, waiting to have a logo, a training center, a technician and the first player put under contract, never miss the latest high tech, visibility and associates can write off any losses. Meanwhile there is the stadium, the Stadium Kazar, for years the lair of the San Francisco 49ers and four games, in 1960 the Oakland Raiders cousins. With the property that is committed to spend over half a million dollars on clearing the system.

Heart, ok defibrillator with resonance – The Time

Other articles about …

->

is also available in Italy a new and more effective biventricular defibrillator implanted subcutaneously. It serves to treat heart failure and is compatible with magnetic resonance imaging in the whole body. With this new technology, developed by Medtronic, they were made the first plants in Lazio at the Hospital U.K. Fats of Ostia and the Casilino Hospital of Rome.

In the world are affected more than 22 million people, with an incidence of 2 million cases a year. Only in Italy, patients are 747,000. It is of heart failure, the condition for which the heart is unable to adequately perform its pumping function, resulting in the accumulation of liquids in the lower limbs, lungs, and other tissues. Patients with this disease have a very compromised life expectancy if not properly treated. Heart failure is responsible for 1-2% of total expenditure on health care.

This expense could be reduced thanks to the new system for cardiac resynchronization, now available and can be used in approximately 20% of patients with heart failure, which increases response to therapy and thus reduce direct and indirect costs of patients. “We have successfully carried out the installation of this new biventricular defibrillator in a patient aged 55 with dilated cardiomyopathy and ejection fraction depressed. Despite the implantable cardiac devices are less invasive and easy to apply, there is still a proportion of patients who fail to fully benefit from therapy with biventricular defibrillator – says Professor Fabrizio Ammirati, Director of the Cardiology Grassi Ostia – up to date, the doctor had to seek with difficulty because of this lack of response by manually editing the various parameters of the implanted device. With the technology now used the stimulation parameters are instead automatically and constantly adjusted based on the patient’s condition. ”

The big challenge accepted by this technological innovation is to maximize the number of patients receiving the full benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy, as defined in the ‘Expert Consensus Statement on CRT EHRA / HRS (international recommendations on the treatment of patients with heart failure). The second novelty affects patients with an implantable medical device, that can undergo the examination of magnetic resonance of all the districts of the body, even with new technology at 3 Tesla magnetic field for complex diagnostic areas.

“It is estimated that 40% of patients with cardiac defibrillator must submit, within four years from the plant, in a survey of MRI, clinical examination essential for the proper diagnosis of many diseases – adds Dr. Leonardo Calo, Head of the Cardiology Casilino Polyclinic of Rome – Compared to previous defibrillators, the new technology allows the patient to access these investigations and, therefore, allows you to make a proper diagnosis of any conditions potentially lethal pathological. ” Therapy with biventricular device has proved effective in reducing mortality and hospitalizations for heart failure.

Crisis, what can they tell us research and technological innovations – The Daily

The Laterza publishing house has published a few days ago my book “ Risk and forecasting What can science tell us about the crisis .” Here we advance extract .

To understand how they form new ideas, you need to have in mind that the search engine is powered by the motivations of the researchers, from their > passions and their curiosity. the basic idea of ​​search and its operation, which is too often forgotten not only by outsiders but also by the same scientists and researchers, is well illustrated by the following story. A person begins to search for the key that has lost under a streetlight, “because there is no light.” Look for the key where there is light instead of where you are actually lost, is a favorite pastime of researchers from all disciplines. The research, however, corresponds not to look for the key where there is light, but try to shed light where there is something that deserves to be tried. This is obviously much more difficult and those who It proposes to organize and finance scientific research must take into account that the fundamental role and purpose of scientific research is precisely to shed light where before there was darkness. We consider below two discoveries that have turned on the light, opening the way to some extraordinary technological innovations of recent years.

Along with Peter Grünberg , the Jülich Research Centre, in Germany, Fert has won the award in 2007 Nobel for the discovery of the magnetoresistance giant ( giant magnetoresistance – Gmr ). This discovery is the basis of the amazing increased storage of electronic devices we have witnessed over the past two decades. With this discovery the size of computers and all other electronic devices have greatly reduced , as well as their cost. Who has benefited the most from the discovery of the GMR? The answer to this question is interesting to understand how a discovery of basic research we can actually turn into an application of industrial interest. French and German scientists who discovered the GMR, together with their laboratories, have benefited from the discovery received the Nobel Prize and small returns from the patent rights. On the other hand, the company that first commercialized the technology, IBM has achieved great profits from the sale of hard disk drives and magnetic head based on the effect Gmr. Other manufacturers of hard disk drives, based in the United States and Japan, have been able to quickly assimilate the technology and catch up at IBM. France and Germany , the countries that initially funded the research that led to the discovery, have achieved rather limited benefits due to lack of national companies whose ability to market the GMR effect.

This shows the importance of absorbency of scientific discoveries, both in terms business both nationally, that is, the ability to grasp the scientific innovations and know how to use to then derive the benefits of technological innovation originated thanks to fundamental research. The absorption capacity, as we shall see, is a fundamental element that characterizes the development potential of a company or even a nation. Often emphasis is laid in the artificial division between basic research and applied research, with an emphasis on the second rather than the first, given its importance from an economic point of view. On the contrary, the ability to be able to do basic research to exploit the high-level skills from a commercial point of view it is important to keep distinct. The first is clearly necessary to the second , because if you do not have the expertise to develop cutting-edge basic research may not even include those that occurred elsewhere, and therefore you can not hope to exploit them by a point commercial perspective. These are two distinct aspects, although both are important, they should be considered separately, instead of putting in the foreground, as often happens, the artificial distinction between fundamental and applied research. The economic performance of a nation depends, in fact, how its companies are capable of commercialize research producing new products.

How can a country increase its ability to use the knowledge created by their own scientists or researchers from other countries to produce new products and processes? The short answer is: countries can help their businesses and industries by creating a good environment because the “absorption capacity” is developed.

Higher Technical Institutes, the award-winning 28 runs today at the Ministry of Education – The Technical School

They were presented today at the Ministry of Education, University and Research, The outcomes are related to the Higher Technical Institutes and list to access to reward funds for those courses of study who achieved higher standards of excellence in relation to the number of graduates and their results in the world of work.

“With this monitor you want to understand how the system is working, what are the strategies that have proven successful, such as the critical issues to be analyzed – emphasizes Undersecretary Toccafondi- such interventions put in place to ensure that the path to success achieved ports all actors in the supply chain, from young students to businesses, through teachers, universities and organizational management. ITS speak with their numbers! They are numbers that convince us that this is the right way to rebuild the winning link between education, training, universities and businesses. It is one of the roads to give employment opportunities to our young people and to enrich our companies and research centers with highly qualified technicians. When the school communicates systematically with the firm the results are good. We are working to create in Italy – said the Sottosegretario- a tertiary vocational system and ITS can be the central pillar of our model, we have a long way to go to improve the system, but the reality and these early results tell us who we are going in the right direction. ”

“The Technical High Schools are an increasingly innovative reality in the Italian tertiary system. The 2015 monitoring numbers confirm that this type of training, based on workshop activities and integrating study and work, can meet the needs of the Italian business world – adds the President of Indire, Giovanni Biondi – From the raw data, it appears that the employed after 12 months is more than 81% and this is also thanks to the fact that the paths on average expect a very high proportion of placements in enterprises (42.6%) and teachers from the world of work (66.4%) “.

Festival of Science and Philosophy here all the news – Nowadays

->

An edition dedicated to young people: this is the new feature in 2016 with the “Festival of Science and Philosophy – virtue and knowledge”, in Foligno 14-17 April.

To declare Pierluigi Mingarelli, Director of the Laboratory of Experimental Sciences , which in collaboration with Oicos ​​Reflections and City of Foligno is promoting the event, presented this morning in Perugia in Salone d’Onore of Palazzo Donini.

for the intervening Catiuscia Marini President of the Umbria Region, and President of the Province of Perugia and the mayor of Foligno Nando Mismetti.

“the Feast of Science and Philosophy – said the governor – is an event of great prestige and value, primarily because it involves quality characters and internationally thick, but also because it aims to spread scientific culture among young people and to bring it to the attention of the general public. The city of Foligno has been able to build all this and promote it in an intelligent way. As a region we can only support a project like this and we continue to keep the dream of a physical place, just as the Park of Sciences and Arts, that the face of this event is not an annual event but something physically present ever. “

“the support of the region in all these years has been continuous – said the mayor Mismetti – and we must give credit to the promoters of having set up an event that involves the city in toto, not only in the four days of the festival but with many initiatives throughout the year. “

” This year – said Mingarelli – we decided to open the festival to young scientists and philosophers, starting with those Umbrian. “

they were then joined by nationally known names of international scientific and philosophical views, for a total of ninety speakers and 114 conferences, all housed in the main historic buildings and theaters Foligno . In the program, therefore, a four days made of debates and conferences but not only . The central theme will indeed “Dare to know” , famous assertion that carries the signature of the philosopher German Immanuel Kant.

Four areas in which will consist of: “Dialectics of Science and Philosophy”, “Brain and Mind”, “A Science for Man” and “Science: the the XXI century tool. “

Three, however, special sections provided for this sixth edition, beginning with the one dedicated to” Ecology and rationality: the new problems which places the environment “, in collaboration with the MicroMega magazine. And two areas dedicated to new generations who, as mentioned, will see in the first row the young Italian philosophers and Umbrian researchers around the universities of the world.

Thanks to the alternating training projects, are about 200 students of the Umbrian institutions which in recent months have contributed to the preparation of the event and that will continue to give it in the weeks to come.

the event will count on the support of illustrious names , as the geneticist Edward Boncinelli, physicist Roberto Battiston and the two philosophers Silvano Tagliagambe and Julius Giorello. Two consultants instead, the linguist and philosopher Massimo Arcangeli Paolo Flores D’Arcais . The latter will, among other things, starred with S.It is. Cardinal Giuseppe Betori in one of the most anticipated events of the VI edition of the Festival, dedicated to secularism and faith.

“Every year – said Professor Maurizio Ronzini , president of the Laboratory of Experimental Sciences Foligno – receive a special permission from the public, and this year the numbers that we are seeing suggest a great success “.

Taking a look at the section dedicated to schools, many of which are dedicated conference sessions, this year to get to Foligno will indeed school groups from all over Italy : from Trentino to Apulia, through the Lazio and Marche. But many have been, in recent days, the manifestations of interest by lovers of the world of science and philosophy. In short, a real boom of participants, who over a thousand of reservations to a little more than twenty-four hours before the opening of entries.

The great cultural festival of Foligno not will however only disclosure, but also experimentation. Wandering the streets of the city, it will be possible to come across six different locations in which to give vent to their creativity by participating in workshops, attending tutorial exibith technological and multimedia projections and admiring exhibitions. All this will be possible thanks to “Experimenta” , a container of experiences designed for audiences of all ages, which therefore involve large and small.

Among the many appointments in even calendar the one with the 3D printing demonstrations realized by 3DBit, start-up of young professionals Foligno. “our goal – said about the ‘ engineer Carlo Rossi – it is to touch young people with the potential of new technologies. Help them to know and especially to teach them to use them. “

Great space will then be given to food and health, music and moments to live in contact with nature , thanks to the many initiatives undertaken by associations, organizations and schools that have decided to embrace the event to contribute to its growth. Like the one organized by the Lipu, which provides for Friday and Saturday afternoon activity of observation of the flight of swifts from Piazza San Domenico, where they will set up a hundred sun. According lying comfortably, in fact, you can watch the spectacle of nature.

But the “Festival of Science and Philosophy” of Foligno will also solidarity. In collaboration with the association of public assistance “White Cross”, the Experimental Science Laboratory will promote during the four days of the event a fundraising for the purchase of pediatric ambulance , as explained by Claudia cipolloni.

“Looking at all that has been done to date – said the Foligno president of Confindustria, Giuseppe Metelli, promoter with Pierluigi Mingarelli of the Feast – we can not say that there is every reason to move forward and to ensure that this event will help to build a brighter future for our youth, helping Italy to recover that leadership role he had in the past. “

STILLWATER (NEVADA)

“we are a leader in renewable, but oil is used.” A Stillwater, in Nevada, is Matteo Renzi, at the beginning of his trip to America, to inaugurate the first hybrid plant in the world for the production of renewable energy. Enel GreenPower is a plant and the prime minister is here with a group, Francesco Starace, who wanted that plant. A plant that uses synchronously three different types of renewable energy to increase the efficiency of energy production: something epochal. The premier also takes the opportunity to announce that Enel GreenPower has won a contract in Mexico from 1.5 billion for the production of wind and solar energy.

There is not just national pride in the announcement and in the words of Prime Minister will also meet the national controversy and intra his party, where a part of the minority is in favor of the referendum against the drills. We look forward to the technologies and the most innovative plants – said the prime minister – but reaslisticamente oil you can not do without today.

The price of oil is at its lowest for many years, new discoveries of shale oil are added to excess supply. Many have asked to slow down investment in new incoming industrial revolution, the one for the switch to renewable energy, the electric car step, for the transformation which should reduce the use of fossil fuels. The oil is used, says Renzi, but the echo of the appeal came from the Paris summit on the environment remains unchanged, the data of scientists, worrying and aims for a balance between consumption of fossil and renewable energy have now been sottosscritti from the world community and Italy should keep its lead in this area that looks to the future. To Stillwater is a inziato project in 2009 and completed in 2015, with the addition of a solar thermal plant. The investment of 290 million dollars. It was also the first time a President of the Italian Council in this country where, among other things, operates another Italian company, the IGT of the former Lottomatica, “which employs in the wagering games from production to 500 people” as said Brian Sandoval, the state governor, who was also in Stillwater.

The news does not end there. By March there will be the delisting of Enel GreenPower and consolidation under the umbrella of Enel that, by a 68% company listed on the package, will again have the 100% control. One of the reasons for the delisting? Enel by 2019 will devote 53% of investment for growth, about 9 billion dollars, renewable energy. Among these there is already an ongoing project with the Tesla electric car manufacturer. Enel has made an agreement for the distribution of batteries Tesla in South Africa for use in domestic consumption in areas where no electricity arrives. Enel GreenPower has also signed an agreement with Israeli company Ormat which operates in the renewables sector.

“It’s the confirmation of what globalization help us, nothing but harm – said Renzi – is a pioneering investment as this, at a very high technological content, we can open new frontiers in the field. It’s a project like this, made by an Italian company in America by collaborating with the authorities and with the American scientific community, that Italy can benefit from both the globalization of technological innovation. Globalization is the biggest asset that Italy has to return itself. There is a kind of new energy in projects of this kind and I do not want to make a pun, I talk about energy for growth, to look forward. And that is what we must aim. ” For the Stillwater project there was also a 30% contribution of the department for the American Energy for the investment of 15 million dollars, “We could take advantage of an experimental research that has opened new horizons in the field,” said the representative of the Ministry, Martin Keller. “With this project, Enel Green Power has become an example of success in working with governments and industrial partners around the world to address the issues related to the environment and climate change through the use of renewable,” said Francesco Starace. “The lessons learned in this solar-geothermal structure confirms the theoretical studies of a productivity increase of more than 3% from geothermal-solar thermal combination – added Starace – that will contribute fundamentally to the development of other hybrid systems around the world. We will continue to invest in new technology solutions to maximize existing assets. “

Renzi, accompanied by his wife Agnes in this journey that will take him also to Chicago, Boston and Washington, he delivered his brief address in English in tent in the desert in the middle of geothermal, solar thermal and photovoltaic. In the tent, in addition to the governor were Sen. Dean Heller, the Congressman Mark Amodei, of Italian origin, Ken Tedford, the mayor of Fallon, the nearest town, which gave Renzi the keys of the city. From today Renzi will be in Chicago, where the journey in Italian technology will continue in the advanced manufacturing sector. The premier also announced that tomorrow we will be in Boston, “the most important event of the trip” with the finalization of the agreement with the Watson Institute (IBM) for reuse and recovery of structures and Expo areas.

Even in the professional field, where the user is more demanding. In this segment of the public they are addressed some of the newcomers in Lenovo’s home, presented last January at CES, where they racked up a total of some 37 awards. In the ThinkPad line two novelties: the Tablet X1 and X1 Yoga. The first is a detachable 12-inch equipped with an adjustable keyboard in three inclinations to facilitate writing, characterized by the revolutionary modular design, with clip-on components that integrate the features.
The modules available are three: Productivity Module extending the range of X1 Tablet up to 15 hours, Presenter Module that includes a pico-projector and an HDMI port, and 3D Imaging Module with Intel RealSense camera to scan 3D objects.

In Taranto, Arduino Day 2016 Genuine. the famous hardware … – Grottaglie in network (press release) (blog)

For the third time in Taranto, in the Agora of the Citadel of enterprises, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, CNA Taranto and Tarantolab, you held April 2, 2016 Genuine Day, USA extra edition of Arduino Day 2016.

This year, the birthday of Arduino – the famous open source hardware – will be celebrated in Taranto with many new features. Digital to talk on craft, with speeches by President of the Chamber of Commerce of Taranto, Luigi Doors, CNA Director of Bari, Giuseppe Riccardi, President of CNA Taranto, Gaetano The Assainato and the President of TarantoLab, Umberto Talamo, followed by the presentation of ARDUIDEE. Umberto Talamo and Elizabeth Scalera, executive of the SI Vico – De Carolis, seat of the supporting territorial Center for the handicap of the province of Taranto illustrate the competition for the design and implementation with 3D and hardware releases Arduino / Genuine supports for diversabili attended many schools Taranto. Projects will be evaluated, in partnership with the Development Program, and rewarded by the sponsors, first prize a 3D printer.

Meanwhile, the Agora will be home for the whole day exposure of the maker of the territory, that this’ year will also have the opportunity to present their projects, while the ISAC Pro association will animate the event with always dedicated to disability games.
Genuine Day Taranto will see the participation of the person responsible Reves2 project – Network for ethical and voluntary work, the cultural Association “Marco Motolese” (chaired by Prof. Carmen Galluzzo) and the same network associations.
“ An event not to be missed, co-organized and hosted by the Chamber of trade in Taranto is participating for the third consecutive year – c ommenta President Ente Chamber, Luigi Doors . It is an opportunity to talk about digital craftsmanship, of a new production model that feeds on open innovation, sharing, without losing sight of tradition and territory. In addition, social cut as organizers have given to this issue is perfectly in line with our idea of ​​social responsibility and with our awareness action on the need for a new approach to the economy, based much more on building ties, ecosystems and relational goods and less on the simple profit as an end in itself. The open source philosophy of Arduino is, by extension, this also . “

” From the first edition of Arduino Day, thanks to the support of President Luigi desks, Secretary General Francesco De Giorgio and Francesca Sienese of the Chamber of Commerce of Taranto, we have discovered that there are many people who want to change this kind of obsolete capitalism, exceeded – highlights the President of CNA Taranto, Gaetano the Assainato. People who know the sharing economy, who have read the book by Jeremy Rifkin on the third industrial revolution, society at zero marginal cost. adults, young people, students, employers and teachers who, alone or in small groups, technology enthusiasts, innovative applications, 3d printers, drones, digital design, cultivate a passion for the new, the company has zero environmental impact at km. zero, zero waste. We tried to unite what was scattered and is developing the idea of ​​the community of ” Knowledge economy, innovation “, in a holistic sense of well-being that concerns the present and the future, respect for nature, the environment , of culture, of history. Maker (digital artisans) who want to work together, far dall’imprenditoria linked to usual mining policy that takes advantage of the territory and the local population in favor of a few large groups, finite resources, leave the desert, the contaminated environment, the laid-off workers, the unemployed, the many skills created and abandoned to their fate.
All this in the hope of growing involvement of people with an open mind and the institutions who want to support and participate in this movement spreads, feeds itself, grows and creates new, healthy energy . “

” Free the “divergent thinking”, that is, the ability to give multiple answers to the same question, look for more solutions to the same problem, to reverse the paradigm that has seen players there always an economy almost exclusively to the “service” of big business and the Military – shows Umberto Talamo . Convey “hope” to many young people who now many participating in the event by showing them that there is a different way of approaching the world that awaits them, a world in which it is now possible to bring into play their creativity to build a job and a future. Show that technological innovation can and should be used as a crowbar to enter the chest of the globalized economic market where you can also get staying at home.
And this is my major gripe i say as a teacher: “the real tragedy of this city is that it is emptying of intelligence and human resources”, all of our best students go away from our city and in most cases do not add up. This is the reality of Taranto. How we can create innovative companies, technological, fielding new ideas if those who could have and develop those ideas is no longer in the area? And it is our kids who maybe in the north or even abroad stand out: how to Cosimo, the king of Italian startupper (lives between Rome and the United States), Alessandro, of which the Hoepli published a beautiful book about the advertise on Facebook (he lives in Bologna) or Gianluigi who just graduated he was hired by one of the most important Italian automotive companies and live in the north. But the list is long, every tarantina family could cite a case in point, we could fill part of the “silicon valley” (excluding those who are already there … like Leonardo who works for Twitter) and I do not exaggerate. So I conclude: we can do it but we need to create a true community tarantina of excellence and make sure that you express here and take root. A kind of coworking that even before being “physical space” must be cultural. A message for my fellow teachers: we make the best use of resources of the National Plan of Digital School, is a unique opportunity to change the teaching. We use technology and new methods to get more directly and effectively to the minds and hearts of our children. The change is mainly dependent on us, we have a great responsibility . “

Renewable energy in the building: “Easy in common, difficulty … – Radio Aldebaran Chiavari

Luigi Napolitano Anaci Chiavari – Tigullio

What if one condominium wants to install solar or photovoltaic panels and needs of the common parts? “In theory you can – explains the director – but there are difficulties.”

Here is the intervention of Luigi Napolitano, aired this morning, 29 March, in our RadioAzione program:

Among the innovations introduced by the reform of the condominium law n. 220/2012, “changes to the building regulations in the buildings” came into force on June 18 of 2013, and there ‘a reference to installations for the production of energy from renewable sources, reported in the new Article 1122 bis of the Civil Code, inserted by the same law.

as discussed in chapter 5, the interventions that fall into the category of “technological innovation” have the facilities in terms of majorities by the condominium assembly.

in the case of actions of common benefit, acts to contain energy consumption and installation of plants for energy production from renewable sources, identified through an energy performance certificate or an energy audit carried out by a qualified technician, the assembly, on second call, may decide with the majority of those present and “only” a third of the value of the building.

In this case, it is not necessary that at the time of the resolution already exists the project of the works, accompanied by the technical compliance report . This must be prepared and filed in common before work.

The reform, however, not only applies to the centralized systems, but also devotes space to the individual ones of the individual condominiums.

If the premises only involve parties the exclusive property of the person concerned to the installation, do not pose particular problems, subject to the overall limit of propriety, put back, in case of dispute, the institution of mediation and, if necessary, to ‘ the discretion of a judge.

If you are involved common parts of the building, below Article 1122 of the civil code, the next 1122 bis, in fact legitimizes the installation of systems designed to produce energy from sources renewable at the service of the individual units of the condo, but outlines the procedure for the installation, on the flat roof or on any other suitable common area.

the individual concerned, if changes in the common parts are required, will have to duly notify the administrator, signaling the intervention content and methods of implementation.

Let’s clarify that for variations in the common areas, they do not mean only those materials, but any impairment in the enjoyment of the common things to the expense of the other owners and beneficial owners of real estate units.

the administrator will have to convene the assembly of blocks within thirty days of the request, placing the topic on the agenda.

the condominium meeting, in response to the demands of a condominium, can not deny him to install the common roof of photovoltaic panels to produce energy, provided, according to the interpretation of the law, it is for personal use only , and not for the sale of energy to the network.

Assembly is reserved the power to adopt, with the high quorum of innovations in general, equal to the number of votes constituting a majority of those present and at least two-thirds of the value of the building, some specific requirements designed to safeguard the equal right of use of common parts from other condos and stability, security and architectural decoration of the building.

Still Article. 1122bis said that the meeting, with the same quorum, may also make enforcement conditional on the provision by the person concerned for a suitable guarantee for any damage.

The use breakdown of the thing common among all buildings, it is in many cases the “stumbling block” for those who want more action to exploit independently one communal space, which is a pavement, rather than a cover or a vertical part.

Sara ‘often a technical report required to ascertain whether it is possible to ensure to all interested parties the equal use of the common part: the condition that it remains essential, even after the introduction of Article 1122-bis of the Civil Code

And we can imagine the opposition of the condominium contrary, which, even in the absence of the shareholders’ resolution, can take personal action to safeguard its rights on the common thing.

Therefore, while a centralized system installation no major issues, the creation of a private facility, on common areas of condominiums, appears undoubtedly more problematic and a source of conflict.

the legislator, in the drafting of the reform law, besides trying to promote the spread of plants for renewable energy production, must, in my opinion, increase incentives with economic benefits, centralized systems, for matters of decorum, efficiency and economy; more than they did with the tax benefits, of which possibly discuss in a future connection.
