R(UE)²: Rational and sustainable use of energy in urban environments

01st Cycle, 2005, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics

The exploitation of primary energy resources together with the environmental pollution impacts are linked problems which need an integrated and multidisciplinary solution process. Particular solutions have to be found in urban environment where other critical aspects are present: traffic, residential heating and cooling, etc.. The application of some technologies as cogeneration or trigeneration allow a
