P. Faggian, G. Riva, Estimating degree days, Annual Conference of the Italian Society for Climate Sciences (SISC) Cagliari 19-20, Ottobre-2016. Poster Power System Research
The energy request depends closely on surface temperature variability (with maximum energy requirements correlated to temperature extreme values). The effect of temperature impacts on heating/cooling energy use have been analyzed by considering heating (HDD) and cooling (CDD) degree-days.Two methodologies to compute such indexes (JRC/MARS-EUROSTAT and Giannakopoulus) have been considered to assess the sensitivity of the two procedures applied over Italy.The daily temperature input have been provided by the gridded data E-OBS and a sub-set of seven ENSEMBLES models at 25 km spatial resolution. The first data-set allowed to investigate the annual degree-days from 1961 to 2014 against the national data provided by JRC/EUROSTAT, as well as their spatial distribution; the model simulations let to estimate the changes expected in the next decades.Moreover, as the energy demand is strongly correlated to the building dimensions to be heated/cooled, the population distribution has been considered as proxy data to improve HDD and CDD national average estimates. As the urban areas are not distributed homogeneously over Italy, significant differences has been found in the new values.On the basis of models results and in accordance with previous studies climate change will result in reduction in demand for heating and increases everywhere in demand for cooling.

P. Faggian, D. Ronzio, Climate Changes and Fire Risks in Italy, II International Conference on Fire Behavbiour and Risk 26-29 , Maggio-2015. Poster Power System Research
The effects of climate change on the fire risk have been characterized by analyzing the Fire Weather Index FWI obtained under combination of global-regional climate model simulations. In line with previous experiments fire risk is expected to increase over Italy.

P. Faggian, F. Apadula, G. Decimi, S. Maran, D. Heltai, Climate Change projections at regional scale, Annual Conference Climate Changes and Water Security in the Po River Basin 27 , Giugno-2014. Poster Power System Research
Since March 1989, RSE has been gathering measurements of the greenhouse gases at the Plateau Rosa, a monitoring station of the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Programme. Some future projections have been elaborated for Italy on the basis of ENSEMBLES data-set. The web-site CLIMED has been developed to disseminate such results. In the framework of ACQWA Project an investigation about Climate change affecting hydropower production has been done.
