ENEA mission on climate issue:
To understand and predict changes in Earth’s
environment by:
The analysis of in situ and satellite data and developing
numerical climate modeling of the Earth Systems and in
particular of the Mediterranean Region;
To conserve and manage natural resources by:
The development of modeling tools/technological platform to
fill the gap between RD&D results and market applications;
To meet economic, social, and environmental needs by:
Elaboration of integrated mitigation and adaptation strategies
to mitigate the effects of climate change and to keep citizens
informed of the changing environment around them;
Climate Risk
the need for more regionally (locally) detailed information of
important climate variables (e.g. temperature and
precipitation) reducing the the uncertainty of the climate
response from human forcing
when the integrated assessments is adopted the climate
policies must encompass and incorporate increasing the
complexity of the integrated system model (ISM)

Impacts in key areas
Here are some examples of the impacts of
climate change on Italy in key areas
Energy (Loading of the network)
Tourism (snow cover)
Sea Level Rise (coastal management)
Water Supply (Sanitation) and Hydrology of
Civil Infrastructures and River runoff
Terrestrial ecosystems

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM
 The technological systems, the "environmental” system,
the economic-productive and the social are strongly
interdependent.
 Disturbance to the technological systems (power grid,
telecommunications network, transport network, etc..)
such as reductions in service until blackouts, can have
significant impacts on the social system of that of the
production of goods and services, on the system
"environment”.
 At the same time, "disturbances" or events on the
environmental system, on the social and productive
produce more or less significant impact on the system
infrastructure
This interdependence requires the use of
appropriate tools for scenario analysis,
programming and intervention planning,
predicting crisis scenarios related to natural events,
the assessment of impacts of the crisis scenarios,
taking into account the effects induced by global
phenomena of interdependence between systems;
The management of emergency situations,
The decision support system (DSS),
These instruments of new generation, require the fullest
possible knowledge of the environmental, social and
productive infrastructure of a region.

Le smart cities, area…
that is an integrated approach of the city (area, region…)
functions, and related technologies for the purpose of
provide new and better services to citizens,
improve the efficiency of production systems to make
services more efficient the whole "system of systems"
through its integrated management
basically, the idea of ​Smart City is a development of ideas
and technologies on several fronts:
in the promotion, within each function (energy, mobility,
construction, economy, environment, social participation)
and efficient use of advanced systems capable of increasing
the quality and quantity of services provided to citizens in
order to increase the benefits received, also by the
integration of data and simulations.
ENEA - UTMEA
the main area of research
The City Modeling develops a model-based approach on the scale
of the whole city,
The sector Urban Networks has the objective of intelligent and
efficient management of energy networks and urban utilities
(electrical, thermal, digital services, transport….) and to offer new
services for the citizen and for the utilities of the city,
The Smart Buildings sector aims at developing an optimal design
and management of the building to reduce the energy
consumption,
The Supply Technologies sector where research is more focused on
the components and especially on components for the production
of renewable energy suited to the urban area (heat pumps, solar
energy, biomass, geothermal, waste valorisation, wind-energy….)
