Undersecretary of State for Defense, Mr. Gioacchino Alfano, signed two collaborative framework agreements with the University and the Inter-Institutional Stress Consortium at Naples University "Federico II"Technological Development and Research for a Seismic and Safe Sustainable Building - concerning the definition and implementation of research activity projects, technical-scientific consultancy and training in the energy sector.
The agreements were promoted by the Energy Project Structure, established by Sen. Roberta Pinotti, Minister of Defense, to coordinate the activities of the Armed Forces in the energy sector. Collaboration with the Campus University will enable a wide range of cooperation areas, including energy efficiency through the use of so-called smart grid, Consistent with i Smart military district And the promotion of research, development and transfer of new low emission technologies or "zero emissions" (such as Near Zero Energy Building - nZEB), aimed at identifying Best Available Technique (BAT) and the enhancement of the Best Practice (BT), Where IOT paradigms stand out (Internet Of Things), Whose use is already being configured in the idea of e-campus University at the Aeronautical Academy of Pozzuoli. In the Campania region alone, more than twenty million euros are invested for the energy upgrading of properties, also under D.lgs. 102 / 2014 for the Power Regeneration Program of the Buildings of the Central PA (PREPAC), and the retraining of the Pozzuoli Air Force Academy and of the Naples Nunziatella Military School was carried out.
So the signatories to the agreements, at the end of the signing of the agreements:
Gioacchino Alfano: "the Defense is very attentive to the need for environmental sustainability, so much so that it has set up a dedicated structure, the SPE (Energy Project Structure). In this regard, I take this opportunity to thank the work done with excellent results by the Director of the Gen. Isp. GA NOTO Ing. Francesco M .. The agreements signed today are in the wake of other collaborations already in place with other Italian Universities and Research Centers. When two agreements were signed in Campania, the importance and the extent of the scientific and academic contribution that the Federico II University and the Stress Consortium will be able to give to the interinstitutional initiative becomes more important. "
Prof. Gaetano Manfredi"Understanding with Defense is a very positive example of institutional collaboration. Applying new technologies to improve the sustainability of Defense Complexes will help to reduce the environmental impact and implement cutting-edge applications to be transferred to other areas of our society".
Prof Ennio Rubino"Stress's contribution will be to bring the experience gained in terms of design, construction and management of technological demonstrators for energy requalification, carried out in coordination with the PA, in the context of industrial research and technology transfer projects. These actions will also serve to develop training courses on the issues of energy requalification of the built environment"
