ENZEB: adopting the best strategies to ensure energy efficiency in condominium buildings

2 May 2023

Join us on Wednesday, 17 May at the Forum Compraverde Buygreen for ENZEB, a serious game developed by ENEA – the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development – as part of the Italia in Classe A campaign.

The workshop is designed to train future “facilitators” through an interactive experience set in a condominium building, where participants work together to achieve the highest possible level of energy efficiency.

ENZEB was developed through the collaboration between ENEA, the Agenzia Territoriale per l’Energia e la Sostenibilità di Parma (ATES), and Officine ON/OFF. The game is delivered through a dedicated kit designed to make information and training on residential energy efficiency more accessible and inclusive.

The workshop will be led by Antonio Disi, researcher at the Energy Efficiency Department of ENEA and creator of the game. Structured as a board game, the activity recreates real-life situations, allowing participants to explore the decision-making process that precedes the energy retrofitting of a building.

The challenge unfolds over a simulated five-year period condensed into one hour of gameplay. Victory does not go to individual players but to the group that successfully reaches the objectives set by the scenario cards within the allotted time, making the most of opportunities and overcoming unexpected events along the way.

Participation in the workshop is limited. To register, click HERE.

Public Food as a Climate Lever: The Rome Model Cuts Emissions by Up to 33%

School meals can become a powerful tool for climate action. This is the key finding of an analysis carried out by Fondazione Ecosistemi in collaboration with the Climate Office of Rome Capital on the city’s new public school catering contract. By increasing plant-based menus, organic products and local supply chains, the Rome model is able to reduce emissions associated with school catering by up to 33%, while generating environmental, social and economic benefits.
