“…In the developed model, the set point values of the temperature and relative humidity, as well as the thermal power of the heating and cooling system, are established directly within the simulation model on TRNSYS Simulation Studio which communicates with the TRNBuild and receives them as external input. In the "Ventilation Type Manager" it was possible to set the temperature and relative humidity of the ventilation air [13,14].…”

Energy efficiency in existing buildings is a capital issue in Italy. Retrofitting interventions on buildings of historical and artistical interest have particular constraints and challenges. The present contribution deals with the description of the project and final results analysis of an experimental campaign of energy efficiency and acoustic improvement of a significant sixteenth-century building located in Rome, seat of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament.

“…Referring to RES, it promotes the repowering of existing plants to pursue the environmental protection [16]. To do so, reducing the land consumption is the main target in order to mitigate the environmental and landscaping impacts as well as the citizens' quality of life, such as level of pollution [17].…”

EU targets for sustainable development call for strong changes in the current energy systems as well as committed protection of environmental resources. This target conflicts if a policy is not going to promote the compatible solutions to both the issues. This is the case of the additional renewable energy sources to be exploited for increasing the share in the electricity mix and in the gross final energy consumption. Solar energy is, currently, the cheapest solution in Southern European Countries, like Italy. In this paper, thanks to the availability of three open databases provided by National Institutions, the authors compared the historic trends and policy scenarios for soil consumption, electricity consumption, and renewable electricity production to check correlations. The provincial scale was chosen as resolution of the analysis. The deviations from the policy scenarios was then addressed to identify the demand for policy recommendations and pathways to promote in order to achieve the target for renewable electricity share as well as the reduction in soli consumption trend in 2030. The role of renewables integrated in the existing contexts, such as building integrated photovoltaics, is considered a key driver for solving this issue.

“…Buildings are responsible for 41.7% of energy consumption [2]. Therefore, larger renovation rates, renewable heating, and related reduced pollutants [3] are actions enhanced by automation and smart controls in [4]. At present, the increase of open data availability and its inclusion in countries policies for renewable energy assessment [5], and to improve the energy performance of the building stock and data collecting of operational phase [6].…”

Electrification of the built environment is foreseen as a main driver for energy transition for more effective, electric renewable capacity firming. Direct and on-time use of electricity is the best way to integrate them, but the current energy demand of residential building stock is often mainly fuel-based. Switching from fuel to electric-driven heating systems could play a key role. Yet, it implies modifications in the building stock due to the change in the temperature of the supplied heat by new heat pumps compared to existing boilers and in power demand to the electricity meter. Conventional energy retrofitting scenarios are usually evaluated in terms of cost-effective energy saving, while the effects on the electrification and flexibility are neglected. In this paper, the improvement of the building envelope and the installations of electric-driven space heating and domestic hot water production systems is analyzed for 419 dwellings. The dwellings database was built by means of a survey among the students attending the Faculty of Architecture at Sapienza University of Rome. A set of key performance indicators were selected for energy and environmental performance. The changes in the energy flexibility led to the viable participation of all the dwellings to a demand response programme.
