摘要:Operations to quantify the CO2eq emissions of a given territory encounter critical issues that make the
matter more complex because they are rooted in political/economic/social options carried out over time
and in other locations; options that “come from elsewhere and far in time” and therefore make partial the
technical solutions that are proposed today. Each intervention must therefore be “contextualized in space
and time” otherwise the technical initiative in progress, not well understood, can create the
misunderstanding of being proposed again, in other territorial contexts with deep and different
connotations, with consequent results that are only partially positive. Moreover, each intervention, for an
obvious economy of scale, must be correlated at the same time with similar ones and, in any case, all of
them must be placed coherently within an economy that today goes towards industry 4.0. through
digitalization. This case study precisely because it is placed “today” and “within” a specific context
possesses such specificities that it allows (even foreign entrepreneurs, as well as national) to operate
adequately. Following the analysis of the most suitable tools for measuring environmental impacts – on
the building and urban scale – the carbon footprint procedure has been defined, the working methodology,
the technical operations carried out and the calculation methods for quantifying the CO2eq emissions
produced by the energy consumption of buildings and transport are illustrated through the indicators for
the case study under examination, analysed at 360°. Finally, the proposal for the overall reduction of the
calculated carbon footprint is illustrated and concludes with the results achieved and their possible further
developments.
