Preface Energy production based on fossil fuels produces C02, S02 and NOx, which are harmful to the environment. It is agreed, both nationally and internationally, that it is necessary to con ­ siderably reduce the energy consumption. The following two passages appear in the Brundtland report "Our Common Future": • "The Commission recommends a low-energy future, based on energy efficiency, sa­ vings, and an aggressive development of new and renewable energy sources." • "Renewable energy sources need to be given considerably higher priority in national energy programmes. In the 21st century renewable energy must form the basis for the whole of the global energy structure." Only with a strong, well-planned and well-managed effort it will be possible to promote the use of renewable energy sources and of less polluting energy sources and to reduce energy consumption, locally and globally, to a level that is environmentally acceptable according to the Brundtland Report. When conceptualising plans for improvement of the environment by reducing energy con ­ sumption the wise words from the seventies "think comprehensively - act selectively (or plan globally - implement locally)" are still useful to keep in mind. They can be phrased a little bit differently, namely that plans and means (measures) must be developed as a whole. Actors must be found and their role clearly defined - then sound technically and economi­ cally solutions will be found. The difference between different European countries politically, financially, culturally, and socially needs to be acknowledged when energy initiatives are considered for implementa ­ tion on a local as well as an international scale. This was the basis for the initiation of the project “Renewable Energy Utilization in 3 European Cities”. Three very different cities with different problems and thus different inte ­ rests got together and joined efforts to develop action plans to increase renewable energy use to reduce the burden on the environment from energy consumption in the urban and re­ gional areas. The work has been undertaken by the working group presented in appendix 3.1 thank all . who has been involved in this project for their engagement and contributions to reach our target.

  • View of Where There Are Fillings Heights As Both Maps Are Based on the Field Survey and Fill Thickness
    The Journal of Transdisciplinary Environmental Studies vol. 12, no. 2, 2013 Public Archives and other Sources for Surveying of Dumpsites and Polluting Enterprises before 1950 Anne-Sofie Fleischer Michaelsen,Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change, Roskilde University, Denmark E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In Denmark, the local environmental authorities have had an obligation to survey areas for soil contamination since the early 1980s. Through the years, detecting and locating old dumpsites and gathering historical information on them have been very dependent on old aerial photographs. As a result, the environmental authorities only have little knowledge of dumpsites operating before the mid-1950s. This study describes the utility of various historical sources for surveying of old dumpsites in the former Ballerup-Maaløv Municipality near Copenhagen. The minute books of the Council and the Health Commission in the municipality were used. In order to locate two dumpsites mentioned in the minute books and gather information on them, the fol- lowing additional sources were used: Old census papers, index cards from tax assessments of real property, income tax returns, writings from local history societies on the former villages, recorded memories told by senior citizens and jubilee publications from homeowners’ associations together with old cadastral maps, old topographical maps, and old aerial photographs plus a comparison of terrain heights in a topographical military map from 1900 and the Danish Elevation Model from 2005-2007. The minute books of the Council and the Health Commission contain information on 31 dumpsites and 15 possible dumpsites of very different characteristics. Only a few of the dumpsites were already known by the local environmental authorities.

  • European Solar Prize 2017
    European Solar Prize 2017 – Premio per la categoria Solar Architecture and urban planning al progetto Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center di Renzo Piano, proposto da Eurosolar Italia Breve resoconto dell’attività Promuovere la riuscita implementazione delle energie rinnovabili - con questa intenzione EUROSOLAR ha premiato città, comuni, architetti, società e società private, associazioni, organizzazioni e cooperative, giornalisti e, naturalmente, cittadini che sostengono attivamente la transizione energetica con il Premio Solare negli ultimi 24 anni. I pionieri ed i leader del settore sono messi al centro dell'attenzione del pubblico e illustrano come sia possibile un uso realistico e praticabile dell'energia rinnovabile e come possa contribuire alla completa trasformazione del sistema energetico. Verso la fine di ogni anno, i vincitori del premio sono invitati ad un evento celebrativo in una città europea. Precedentemente tenutasi a Praga e Barcellona, quest'anno l'edizione del Premio Solare Europeo si terrà a Vienna, coordinata da Eurosolar Austria. Per l’edizione 2017, Eurosolar Italia ha promosso la candidatura del progetto dello Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, realizzato ad Atene nel 2016 dall’architetto italiano Renzo Piano, per la categoria Solar Architecture and urban planning del Premio Solare Europeo 2017. Il progetto è risultato vincitore e verrà premiato nella Cerimonia ufficiale organizzata a Vienna per il 18 novembre dall’Eurosolar presso la Technical University Vienna (Tu the Sky). Al mattino, si terrà un simposio sul tema "La transizione energetica in Europa". I relatori presenteranno e discuteranno potenzialità e soluzioni per un sistema energetico europeo sostenibile nei settori dell'architettura solare, della pianificazione urbana, dell'energia economica e della politica energetica.
