Minor historical centres constitute a historical and urban architectural heritage. In this context the theme of urban lighting is gaining increasing interest. There are many aspects to consider since it is necessary to implement strategies that aim at energy saving, reducing pollution and degradation, safety, historical context enhancements, as well as their conservation and attention towards contemporary users. Therefore, this article illustrates a multidisciplinary methodology aimed at identifying strategies and best practices for upgrading lighting scenarios in historical contexts of value. The research is organized into four steps, the first of which is the cognitive process, the second is critical synthesis, the third is the definition of strategies and project scenarios, and the fourth step is related to development of the life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) and CO2 estimation. The framework is verified by applying it to a case study in the Abruzzo Region, Italy, identifying three scenarios with different strategic objectives. In the Italian case study, from an economic point of view, the LCCA made it possible to demonstrate the economic value of the investment, in addition to the fact that the optimal configuration of the lighting scenario redevelopment project leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions of almost 6 tonnes per year compared to the existing situation. Moreover, this research contributes to implement the 2030 Agenda and, in particular, Goals 7 and 11. Finally, it has put in place the foundations of theme of urban lighting in value context and it has helped to bring research gaps identified.

Shifting from fossil to renewable energy sources is a major global challenge, and in this context, the European Union has promoted sustainable and environmentally friendly growth as early as the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. To date, European institutions have promulgated a series of environmental regulations and directives aimed at promoting and imposing adoption by member states of internal regulations. This paper is focused on Western Europe, and it explores, for each state under analysis, energy policies adopted, the results achieved and recommendations for the future growth of renewable energy. The results show that in countries where energy policy is not fragmented, the yield in renewable energies has been higher, and also in the states where more and various forms of subsidies are foreseen, growth seems to be greater. Finally, the paper provides useful recommendations and future policy implications for states that have not met the 2020 targets.

The use of Key Enabling Technologies (KET), in the definition of innovative systems, is a crucial point for smart industries and sustainability. The proposed work combines innovations from different fields, including industrial sustainability on the one hand, and smart electronics on the other. An innovative multifunctional panel is presented, produced with waste resulting from the industrial processing of paper and cardboard; the panel can be used for the control of safety in processing factories and for the monitoring of environmental conditions in the area, as well as the energy improvement of the building envelope. Several sensors are embedded in the panel for monitoring temperature, moisture, and localization by means of an RFID tag. In addition, the panel is battery–free, thus enhancing the installation and realization of the system. The power supply is provided by the tag reader as irradiated power, thus realizing a very low power application. Panels have been already realized and experimental tests have been performed in the laboratory.

In the cities of the future, public administrations play a key role both because they implement political and legislative choices, and because they must represent the virtuous example to follow. Related to the planning and prioritizing of public buildings energy retrofits, public administrations must support a transition process. In this viewpoint, authors proposed an approach by defining three postulates, or pillars, based on the concept of transdisciplinary, that is knowledge, planning and sharing of the city. These pillars could have a significant impact and positive effect in a number of areas and could bring to economical, social and environmental sustainability. It also encourages the development and transfer of knowledge and technology in the main topic of the cities of the futures.

In the European Union, about 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions come from buildings; therefore, the improvement of their energy performance is a strongly focused issue. In particular, the energy efficiency of the building envelope is a very important element to pay attention to. Many studies have been conducted on this field of research, and the study illustrated in this paper also belongs to this topic. In particular, this article presents a multidisciplinary method to find sustainable solutions for energy efficiency in Italian climatic contexts using the Life Cycle Cost Analysis approach. In detail, this paper defines the reference scenario and then deepens the methodology used to determine the economically optimal thickness of a specific insulating material—hemp fiber—applied to a specific type of wall—uninsulated cavity walls made of hollow bricks, which are very widespread in Italy. The analysis is developed in relation to three different regions—Piedmont, Abruzzo, and Campania. The results show that the economically optimal thickness is different for each region analyzed and demonstrates how energy efficiency strategies must be carefully weighed according to the specific conditions of the site.

The enhancement of energy performance of historic buildings is not a completely resolved theme because both the tools and European directives available to the designer are mainly designed to meet the needs of the new buildings. To improve the energy efficiency of this buildings built without technical installations and designed to exploit the climatic characteristics and local resources, it is necessary to investigate the key parameters that constitute the building envelope. This study presents a multidisciplinary approach allowing to compare the optimum insulation thickness determined from the transmittance values of historical walls measured in situ with the one calculated through literature data. In detail, the methodology includes a preliminary analysis of the historical envelope needed to carry out the in situ measurements of the thermal transmittance and an analysis of insulation material and its thickness to determine the optimal combination between the energy performance of the building and the investment cost for thermal insulation and environmental impact through the life-cycle cost analysis. After applying the methodology to a case study located in Italy, the results revealed that the exclusive use of literature data for the preparation of an energy recovery project for an existing historic building can lead to significant errors.

The main result of the research that we intend to illustrate is the connection between the contents of 4.0 Industry (Ciribini 2018), and the information sharing with BIM design (Lucarelli 2018), through the insertion into a single data container (black storage box), of all the sensors inherent to the entire building process, to monitor the building from the early construction phases and obtain a precise history about it. The goal is to create an "As Built" model flanked by the interactive digital building book, capable of an automatic upgrade depending on the variation of the monitored data during the useful life of the building.The aim of this project is to exploit the use of IoT (Gabriele 2015), for the data communication to the black box (Smart Monitoring Building Box – SMBBox) installed in the building from the beginning of the construction site, in order to initially monitor the status work progress and safety management on site, and subsequently, thanks to the combination with the BIM model for data management, it will be possible to digitize the physical and functional characteristics of the case study object.The methodological approach is based on the following steps: BIM modeling; sensor design and installation and data container; data collected updating; "As Built" model creation; Interactive building Drafting. This method is being carried out on a restricted building located in the historic center of L'Aquila, subject to seismic improvement as a result of the damage caused by the 2009 earthquake.

The BEP, acronym for BIM Execution Plan, consists of the information management plan created by the design team to illustrate how to meet the requirements defined in the Employer's Information Requirement (EIR).The big amount of data will have to be organized a priori both for the professionals who will use that piece of information and for the stakeholders who will have to receive only the right information and use specific worksets. Just at this stage, the heart of the BIM method, there are different advantages compared to the traditional process, in which these informational steps were omitted, causing errors, delays and therefore an increase in active and passive costs. This paper explores the methodology applied to the mapping process of the management of a recovery site. For a better understanding of the result achieved, the stages of the process have been explained, from the acquisition of data, through the scan to BIM process up to the construction phases. In addition, the phases (Identify BIM goal and uses, Design BIM Project Execution Process, Develop information exchange) and the steps (Investigation, Identification and Strategy) necessary to achieve the objective have been analyzed. This is the Lean construction and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), methodologies and systems that allow the improvement of the building process thanks to data sharing and communication between stakeholders before work begins so as to eliminate any possible delay.
