Rationale (starting point, challenge, objectives, initiator(s) and stakeholders involved):
Since 2005, Bolzano (Italy, 104,000 inhabitants) has developed an ambitious investment plan for large scale urban refurbishment in collaboration with both public and private stakeholders. The work undertaken in SINFONIA is part of this plan, and aims to achieve 40% to 50% primary energy savings in the demo sites and to increase the share of renewables in the district of Bolzano SW (South West) by 20% Context:

Implementation Modality / Methodology:
Focus was put on: 1. BUILDING REFURBISHMENT 37,000m² of social housing from the 50s-70s will be retrofitted to achieve high energy performance and improve interior comfort while ensuring cost effectiveness and minimal impact on tenants. Measures include:
Investment for refurbishment: ~ 450 –500 €/m² Investment for additional floor: ~ 1500 €/m² (Reference price for new buildings of the Province of Bolzano: 1420 €/m²) Investment per flat: ~ 45.000 € 2. DISTRICT HEATING & COOLING The district heating & cooling network will be extended and optimised to reduce both the CO2 and the nitrogen equivalent emissions. Measures include:
3. ELECTRICITY GRID Bolzano will implement an Urban Service-Oriented Sensible Grid (USOS-grid) system in the South West district for improved energy distribution control. Measures include:

Strong features of the tool/measure:
The success of the project was ensured by a strong planning phase. The SEAP elaboration was a stage prior to the project but ensured its success. Weak features and criticalities of the tool/measure: |
||||||||
From the starting, did you apply any change in design and implementation? Any corrective action? | ||||||||
What are the lessons learned for your region? For other regions? What would be conditions for potential transfer?
One project should reach for one goal but for several co-benefits (any socio-economic and environmental positive effect related to the execution of a project, exceeding the primary goal, regardless if intentional or not). |
||||||||
What are the next steps/follow up actions? (if applicable): | ||||||||
