Sustainable energy governance in South Tyrol (Italy): A probabilistic bipartite network model

Balest J; Secco L; Pisani E; Caimo A (2019)

At the national scale, almost all of the European countries have already achieved energy transition targets, while at the regional and local scales, there is still some potential to further push sustainable energy transi ...

Evaluation of natural-based internal insulation systems in historic buildings through a holistic approach

Bottino-Leone D; Larcher M; Herrera Avellanosa D; Haas F; Troi A (2019)

Historic buildings are defining elements of city centres but also responsible for a large share of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce their energy demand, it is important to improve envelopes’ thermal transmittance ...

Municipal transitions: The social, energy, and spatial dynamics of sociotechnical change in South Tyrol, Italy

Balest J; Secco L; Pisani E; Garegnani G (2019)

With the aim of proposing recommendations on how to use social and territorial specificities as levers for wider achievement of climate and energy targets at local level, this research analyses territories as sociotechnical ...

Can we hope for a collective shift in electric vehicle adoption? Testing salience and norm-based interventions in South Tyrol, Italy

Della Valle N; Zubaryeva A (2019)

Electric-drive vehicles (EVs) are a promising technology for containing environmental problems of the transport sector. However, to be effective on the environment, these need to be purchased by consumers in large quantities. ...
