Complex efficiency of sports facilities Multicriteria and financial analysis for swimming pools
2015
The multicriteria analysis aimed at verifying the complex efficiency of investment projects must necessarily take place even in a historical moment in which the evaluation criteria are primarily of a financial nature. Especially in the field of public works and those with civil purpose, the preservation of the social and environmental profiles remains essential. It is widespread in the bibliography of the 80s and 90s the presence of tools and methods to compare and prioritize analysis profiles resulting from conflicting interests. Combined use of multicriteria techniques (MAUT) and typically entrepreneurial approaches (DCF) can help to better interpret the phenomena under study and to prepa…
Enhancing values of roofs albedo for lowering cities’ air temperature and electric demand of buildings: a simple economic evaluation
2019
Abstract In cities vegetated roofs are becoming more popular because they can mitigate Urban Heat Island phenomena by decreasing the outdoor air temperature in summer. This decrease reduces the electric energy demand for climatization of buildings, which, in front of a milder climate, will recur less to mechanical tools for guaranteeing thermal comfort conditions to occupants. Cities can registered another indirect positive effect: the reduced cooling energy demand, limits the heat released by the climatization systems’ external unities toward the urban open spaces, thus lowering the outdoor air temperature. Therefore, the outdoor surface temperature of green, as well as cool roofs, can be …
