Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) 2012 will take place from 27 – 30 March 2012 at Fiera Milano Exhibition Centre. Innovation, comfort, attention to energy efficiency and saving issues will be the main topics of the four MCE’s areas: Heating, Cooling, Water and Energy.

In 2010 the international building exhibition SAIE will have a new format and will offer new services and new opportunities to meet the 170,000 industry professionals in attendance each year in order to discuss building solutions, projects and technologies for building architecture. SAIE brings together various players in order to offer integrated solutions for a changing sector, assuring greater attention to the environment as well as greater energy efficiency, safety and provision of services.

From September 23 to 25, 2010, the exhibition district of Bolzano will welcome the third edition of “Klimaenergy”, the tradefair and congress devoted to the commercial and public use of renewable energy. Among others the tradeshow covers the categories: biofuels, biogas, biomass, cogeneration and regeneration, financing, fuel cells, geothermal, photovoltaic, solar heating and cooling, wind and water power.

This document, prepared by the International Energy Agency, comes as a follow-up of the 2006 seminar “Renewable heating and cooling – from RD&D to deployment technology and policy” aimed at exploring guidelines and policy initiatives to boost technology development and market deployment for renewable heating and cooling (REHC).

This is a study assessing the market potential of small scale Combined Heating Cooling and Power (CHCP) in several European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland).

The study is one of the final deliverables of the PolySMART Project (POLYgeneration with advanced small and medium scale thermally driven air-conditioning and refrigeration technology), an integrated project partly funded by the European Commission under 6th Framework Programme.

Following the tradition of the Solarpraxis conferences in Germany and Spain, CIS-IT 2011 is a conference covering photovoltaics and solar thermal issues. The 3^rd edition of CIS-IT in Rom will again become a major appointment for those doing solar business in Italy and across its borders. This event provides the opportunity to meet key players from the industry, expand your business networks, collect first-hand information, and gain invaluable insights into the development of the Italian solar market.

More detailed market figures can be found in this year’s ESTIF booklet: The 16-page market report is going to be published at the Intersolar Europe in Munich. For the first time, the report will include a map showing key figures as well as articles with background information on solar cooling and large solar thermal systems. Source: ESTIF

Everything revolves around the sun: 17 European countries participate in the 3rd edition of the European Solar Days from 1 to 16 May 2010. Around 6,600 events are planned for this year’s campaign, involving several hundred thousand citizens at a local level.

This report, produced within the ProSTO project, presents solar thermal energy in the Italian region of Lazio.

The document outlines the Italian legislative framework on energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources and explains how to implement a solar thermal ordinances at local level. It also details how to accompany the implementation of solar thermal ordinances with flanking measures such as financial incentives and communication activities.
