    Smart water and soil salinity management in agrowetlands - LIFE Agrowetlands II - LIFE15 ENV/IT/000423

    The main aim of this project is to develop an innovative system for water and soil salinity management in agricultural wetland ecosystems. This system will integrate a soil water and salinity Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) with a Decision Support System (DSS) in a web environment. It will save irrigation water, maintain agricultural Productivity, minimize soil and water quality degradation by salinization and allow the sustainable development of agriculture, particularly in the surroundings of valuable wetland habitats. It will contribute to the European Soil Thematic Strategy against soil degradation (COM (2006) 231, 22.9.2006), to the Habitat Directive (92/43/CEE), to the EUSAIR Strategy (Pillar 3 Environment Quality

    An optimization model for energy saving in the heatingof buildings

    No full text
    The use of optimization techniques has been recently advocated in order to improve the energy performance of the design of buildings. The objective function in our model accounts both for the heating cost and the cost of insulation materials so that its minimization, with respect to a meaningful set of technological and architectural variables, yields a sequence of designs of decreasing "cost", converging to that design which ensures, for the weather conditions of the site of the buildings, the optimal balance between the cost of additional insulation and the related energy saving
