CUNEO
Consulting activity to support the drafting of the Energy Plan in Cuneo
year: 2005
funding: Comune di Cuneo
coordinator: Prof. Evasio Lavagno
The activity
developed by the LAME research group was commissioned by Agenzia
Provinciale per l’Energia of Cuneo Province (Agengranda). The
activity was meant to support the municipality initiatives in the
energy field and specifically it was focused on the issues related
to the drafting of the Energy Balance and to the elaboration of
proposals for the City Energy Plan.
These proposals were targeted to a set of aspects of the city energy
system that were representing high energy consumption values and, at
the same time, interesting opportunities for intervention by the
public body:
- the
residential heating sector, for which:
a. interventions in several areas of the city were assessed
b. several hypothesis of district heating solutions were designed (specifically for the Altipiano urban area), in order to reduce polluting emissions and optimise energy consumption, - the final
uses of electricity in the residential and tertiary
sectors, for which dissemination and information strategies were
assessed in order to promote the adoption of high efficiency
technological solutions (in particular boilers, fridges, air
conditioning units, lamps) and to stimulate the physiological
substitution of elder appliances
- The public lighting sector, for which relevant energy consumption reduction rates were considered realistically possible by means a rationalisation of the lighting systems
