La valorizzazione dell'architettura storica palermitana attraverso il miglioramento delle prestazioni energetiche
2014
L'obiettivo del miglioramento energetico, come superamento dell'attuale regime di deroga, si pone anche per l'architettura storica palermitana, elencale ed aulica, e richiede la conoscenza delle sue prestazioni per individuarne potenzialità e carenze e per delineare opportune strategie d'intervento. Bisogna dunque analizzare le caratteristiche geometriche, materiche, costruttive che influenzano il comportamento energetico e ambientale di questi edifici. Inoltre l'individuazione di costanti tipologiche, come ricerche europee evidenziano, consente di definire le possibili modalità d'intervento sull'architettura storica in base alle esigenze più o meno restrittive poste per la sua conservazion…
STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AS A SOURCE OF FINANCE FOR REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: MEASUREMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGIONAL POLICY WITH TH…
2008
The present paper analyses spatial distribution of EU financial support for territories, where environmental protection is of high importance, and tests the measuring method based on the t‐statistic of sign frequency in order to apply the R. Fisher function's arcsin transformation. The measuring of EU fund distribution is based on the analysis of sign frequency in sample groups with sign frequency in all the municipalities of Latvia. There are 530 municipalities in Latvia, and in 100 of them environmental protection is of high importance. The author has concluded that Latvian municipalities with high environmental protection levels have significantly higher possibilities to obtain EU funds …
Network Dynamics of an Energy Supply Chain: Applicability of the Network Approach to Analysing the Industrial Ecology Practices of Companies
2006
Currently firms face environmental challenges, which require more emphasis on inter-organisational environmental improvement efforts. A field of study of industrial ecology offers some novel approaches for inter-organisational environmental management. It emphasises symbiotic linkages between firms or other organisations in which waste of one actor is used as raw material by others. The industrial network approach has been suggested as a possible framework for developing managerial implications for industrial ecology. This study analyses an example of an industrial ecosystem with notions of the network theory, and concludes that the industrial network approach is useful in analysing and des…
