This essay shows multidisciplinary results obtained by using both the building information modelling (BIM) and innovative approaches for design a highly energy efficient Hotel building that can represent a valuable attraction for the touristic demand of the village. In wider perspective, it will be firstly introduces an ongoing strategy of regional energy efficiency and tourist development which is under discussion by a network of small Lucanian villages in South of Italy.Integrated project delivery (IPD) and design optimization are the most benefits coming by BIM-collaborative methods. Many practical implications are coming from the implementation of BIM, like the high energy performance goal of the building, the reduction of extra costs of design changes during the subsequent phases of construction process. Accurated digital 3D models improve collaboration between project parties, to ensure that the project is well-coordinated before the construction phase begins. This paper investigates also the contribution of dyanmic energy analyses to design the hotel and their influence on the final architectural solutions, and aimed to become a real development model for a network of small villages..

The ‘nZEB casale’ is located in Matera, in the south of Italy. The project concerns the renovation of a medieval ‘casale’, a group of rural houses for residential use. The shape of the new nZEB is in the style of old light-colored buildings, compact and with projections and shielding elements to reduce the summer thermal loads. The use of local and certified materials for the construction of buildings has resulted in a low environmental impact of buildings and an excellent winter and summer energy performance reaching the best energy class A4. Finally, this work presents an environmental protocol to be applied to nZEBs in order to take into account the other benefits of these constructions, as well as the energy benefits.

An architectural integration design along with high technological systems is performed. The intermittency of renewable energy sources along with climatic conditions dependency imposes to store the energy produced, since it is clean and having a big calorific value: the hydrogen vector is currently the better energy carrier. The energy to obtain hydrogen by dissociation of water is supplied by a photovoltaic (PV) system. Through the computations of the annual energy balance between building's demand and supply energy, it is shown that the extra energy produced by the solar generation system is used also for the hydrogen sustainable mobility. The renewable systems, model's design and case study are tackled for the bigger one of the Dodecanese islands in the South Aegean Sea: Rhodes (Rodos). The Zero energy building's integrative design-based approach, applied to the Hotel Buildings type industry is targeted to have new hotels buildings, in the Mediterranean typical warm climate, with zero energy consumption. The designers, authors of this work, have studied a real case or pilot project of an hotel, in the resort formula, suitable to the Greek landscape, showcasing technologies and innovations supporting environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, electricity storage by fuel cells that are tools particularly applicable to hotel facility [1]. The feasibility of this case study or pilot project is aligned jointly to the target of Zero Emission and Energy Efficiency EU Policy, as imposed by EU Directives. The strategic position of Rhodes in a geographical point full of sun and wind renewable energy power, enables to ensure the clean energy production, the current interesting development of the hydrogen as energy vector in the buildings [2] and also to satisfy the demand of tourists' accommodation by having at the same time zero energy costs. Moreover, the presence in the island of the best example worldwide of ancient and sustainable built environment (UNESCO World Heritage site), represents also the best motivation to give witness there of a zero impact environmental urban development through the adoption of these achieved scientific results for a major success of Zero Energy Buildings.

These data also create value by enriching the offer and quality of applications designed for optimal management of energy efficiency. The topic of energy saving has also been evaluated for 119 buildings managed by the Territorial Agency for the House (ATC) in 9 districts of Turin. All the useful information, concerning the sample of buildings analyzed, were collected; in particular, its characteristics: the envelope, the technological systems and the type of use. By gathering the energy consumption data for 4 heating seasons, the energy signature has been represented for each building in order to analyze its thermal behavior and to identify operating anomalies. Finally, with a cost-optimal analysis, the most effective energy efficiency measures were identified. A comparativ...

ENERGY TRANSITION BY MEANS OF "BOTTOM-UP" APPROACH: PYROSLUDG_EN FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT, 2019

It starts from the creation of a territorial HUB, based on the construction of a pyrolysis plant treatment of "local" organic waste components to produce energy, in particular using sludge from civil wastewater treatment.
It transforms the ecological, and economic, problem of waste treatment into heat, electricity and water production, with particular attention to emissions and environmental impact, following the most restrictive standards.
Further winning factors are represented by the research to use the syngas produced in the process in fuel cells and the recovery of the organic residues transformed in agricultural production, as well as the creation of a local energy community.

Recent technological advances have made PVs suitable for direct integration into building construction. PV module size, cost, appearance and reliability have advanced to the point where they can function within the architectural parameters of conventional building materials.
A building essentially provides free land and structural support for a PV module, and the module in turn displaces standard building components.
This report identifies the highest-value applications for PVs in buildings.
These systems should be the first markets for BIPV products in the commercial buildings, and should remain an important high-end market for the foreseeable future.

For this reason we deal with the selection of the best program that a country could adopt to ensure its development at zero carbon footprint. An example coming from some important proposals of Italy country can contribute to help the politics of other european nations for the next years.
From the scale of a nation, we move our focus towards the scale of the buiding by harnessing the building’s energy refurbishment to witness that the household can decrease energy, wtihout using gas devices. The energy, in the form of clean energy, is supplied by a photovoltaic (PV) system and the energy demand is satisfied by electric heating pump. Through the computations of the annual energy balance between building’s demand and supply energy is shown how it is possible to gain money if an overall choice on the side of renewable energy sources is adopted.
