  http://www.sinfonia-smartcities.eu/Technical Coordinator and Project manager for Bolzano District.The SINFONIA project is a five-year initiative (FP7-EU) to deploy large-scale, integrated and scalable energy solutions in mid-sized European cities. At the heart of the initiative is a unique cooperation between the cities of Bolzano and Innsbruck, working hand in hand to achieve 40 to 50% primary energy savings and increase the share of renewables by 20% in two pioneer districts. This will be done through an integrated set of measures combining the retrofitting of more than 100,000m² of living surface, optimisation of the electricity grid, and solutions for district heating and cooling. Bridging the gap between demonstration and large-scale replicationA large part of the project is therefore dedicated to the transferability and scalability of the solutions deployed in the two pioneer districts. To achieve this, SINFONIA will define a limited set of district typologies and corresponding refurbishment models, enabling cities to easily assess their needs and efficiently define their long-term refurbishment strategies. To further ensure their scalability and transferability, these models and typologies will be tested and validated with all stakeholders involved – public and private, from citizen to energy regulators – not only in Innsbruck and Bolzano, but also in five ‘early adopter’ cities which are actively participating in SINFONIA: Pafos (CY), Rosenheim (DE), Seville (ES), La Rochelle (FR)and Borås (SE).

• recharge.green – balancing Alpine energy and nature - Project Manager

  • Oct 2012 - Present

  The Alps have great potential for the use of renewable energy. Thereby they can make a valuable contribution to mitigating climate change. This, however, means increasing pressures on nature. What could be the impact of such changes on the habitats of animals and plants? How do they affect land use and soil quality? How much renewable energy can reasonably be used? The project recharge.green brings together 16 partners to develop strategies and tools for decision-making on such issues. The analysis and comparison of the costs and benefits of renewable energy, ecosystem services, and potential trade-offs is a key component in this process. The project will last from October 2012 to June 2015 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund in the Alpine Space Programme.http://www.recharge-green.eu/ Show less

  Combating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the biggest challenges of the European Union which is addressed also in the Europe 2020 Strategy with the objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by year 2020 compared to year 1990. Because of its diversity and extreme weather events it is expected that South East Europe region will be impacted by climate change more than other regions...http://www.southeast-europe.net/en/projects/approved_projects/?id=196

• IEA SHC Task 51 - Solar Energy and Urban Planning

  • May 2013 - Present

  The main objective of Task 51 is to provide support to urban planners, authorities and architects to achieve urban areas and eventually whole cities with architecturally integrated solar energy solutions (active and passive), highly contributing to cities with a large fraction of renewable energy supply. This includes the objective to develop processes, methods and tools capable of assisting cities in developing a long term urban energy strategy. Heritage and aesthetic issues will be taken into account. Also, the goal is to prepare for and strengthen education at universities on solar energy in urban planning, by testing and developing teaching material for programmes in architecture, architectural engineering and/or urban planning. The material will also be useful for post graduate courses and continuing professional development (CPD). http://task51.iea-shc.org/objectives Show less
