Energy Saving, Energy Efficiency or Renewable Energy: Which Is Better for the Decarbonization of the Residential Sector in Italy?

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
The residential sector is currently responsible for approximately 30% of the final energy consumption and 12% of direct CO2 emissions in Italy, mainly due to the heating and cooling of buildings and the use of domestic hot water.

Opposition diagrams for automorphisms of large spherical buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Let $\theta$ be an automorphism of a thick irreducible spherical building $\Delta$ of rank at least $3$ with no Fano plane residues. We prove that if there exist both type $J_1$ and $J_2$ simplices of $\Delta$ mapped onto opposite simplices by $\theta ...

Categorising emissions in non-domestic buildings

open access: yes, 2023
This report explores the pros and cons of different methods to apportion measured direct emissions from heat use categories in non-domestic buildings. Through analysis and stakeholder engagement, it also assesses different practical and feasible ways to regulate direct emissions at a building level.
