Today, cities allocate about 50% of world's population, and it is expected that this number will increase up to 80% in the upcoming years. The urban territory responsible for a high percentage natural resources consumption waste generation, therefore resource efficiency critical promote local global sustainability. characteristics morphology growing trend toward transformation give enormous leverage respect. A Smart City could be an answer improving energy efficiency, human living...
This study presents some preliminary results of an on-going European Project, RePublic_ZEB [1], where analysis is conducted for identifying the cost optimal levels existing buildings, towards nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) performance. The applied to reference building office in five different countries: Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Greece. evaluation tool uses a new optimization procedure based on sequential search- technique considering discrete options [2] will be presented...
Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEBs) have received increased attention in recent years as a result of constant concerns for energy supply constraints, decreasing resources, increasing costs and rising impact greenhouse gases on world climate. The EPBD recast directive [1] requests all new buildings to meet higher levels performance than before, by exploring more the alternative systems available locally cost-efficiency basis without prejudicing occupants' comfort. To this end, after 2020,...
Abstract Zatrephina lineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a phytophagous insect, mainly of plants the genera Ipomoea and Mikania. The objective was to study development, survival describe life stages Z. fed on leaves pes-caprae. Biological observations were made daily with aid stereoscopic microscope instars this insect identified by exuvia left between one moulting next. duration development egg, larva pupa first, second, third, fourth fifth nymph stage differed, but not sexes insect....
