The report addresses the issue of Energy Poverty (EP), a complex phenomenon affecting a significant portion of the population who, unable to access basic services such as building climate control, lives in conditions of social hardship, with resulting impacts on the community as well.<\/p>\n
The aim of this report is to provide an analysis of the implications that Energy Poverty can have on consumers and to propose concrete solutions to the problem. The analysis primarily focuses on the impact of EP on consumer health, and therefore on the National Health System (SSN) in terms of events and costs, in order to compare the results with the costs of housing renovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1310,1305,1366],"targets":[1317],"rapporti_tipologie":[762],"class_list":["post-195884","rapporti","type-rapporti","status-publish","hentry","tag-decarbonization","tag-energy-efficiency-en","tag-energy-poverty","targets-research","rapporti_tipologie-report-en"],"acf":{"order_posts":"","dont_show_search":false,"related_posts":false,"dont_show_hompage":false,"show_on_slider":false,"single_post_data":{"titolo_spot":"","post_content":"
This report analyzes the phenomenon of Energy Poverty from various aspects, following the established RSE approach of \u201cRecognize\u201d \u2013 \u201cUnderstand\u201d \u2013 \u201cMitigate\u201d \u2013 \u201cCombat\u201d.<\/p>\n
From the perspective of \u201crecognize,\u201d which involves defining the extent of the phenomenon in society, two main issues are considered: the impact of increasingly frequent \u201csummer heatwaves\u201d and thus the inability to have adequate cooling systems, and the implications for health. Energy Poverty has traditionally and historically been identified mainly with inadequate heating of homes. However, due to the effects of climate change and evolving family behaviors and needs, it becomes necessary to extend the focus to overall building climate control.<\/p>\n
The first part of the report summarizes RSE’s estimates from 2020 regarding the phenomenon of Energy Poverty: about 15% of Italian households would be forced to incur expenses that fall into the condition of Energy Poverty to maintain a \u201cmedium\u201d level of comfort (20\u00b0C in winter and 26\u00b0C in summer) in their homes. The characterization of these households is further explored through a comparison with the characteristics of users receiving Social Bonuses, in order to \u201cunderstand,\u201d i.e., \u201cplace\u201d these households in the \u201creal world\u201d and understand their habits and needs, also in relation to the use of means to \u201cmitigate,\u201d such as Bonuses.<\/p>\n
To \u201ccombat\u201d and eradicate the phenomenon, it is necessary to fully analyze its implications. A correlation between Energy Poverty and health is demonstrated, with an increased probability of contracting respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The second part of this report includes a study of the city of Turin, extending the analysis from the previous year (2020), and further extends to the case of the Piedmont region, with the future goal of replicating the analysis across the entire nation. Frequent hospitalizations also entail additional costs for the National Health System: therefore, the costs of energy renovation of homes are compared with the (avoidable) costs incurred by the National Health System for treating the considered diseases. This comparison helps to understand which operations, in terms of cost-effectiveness and energy savings, can \u201ccombat\u201d Energy Poverty effectively, finding long-term solutions that provide a double benefit: on one hand, improving user comfort, also related to their health, and on the other hand, pursuing ambitious decarbonization goals for 2030 and 2050 through renovation.<\/p>\n","link_estreno":false,"scarica_file":[{"download_option":"download","file_name":"Download Report","download":{"ID":173259,"id":173259,"title":"21009862","filename":"21009862.pdf","filesize":2415611,"url":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/21009862.pdf","link":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/en\/rapporti\/impatto-delle-politiche-di-efficienza-energetica-e-delle-soluzioni-tecnologiche-sugli-utenti-vulnerabili\/attachment\/21009862\/","alt":"","author":"93","description":"","caption":"","name":"21009862","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":173258,"date":"2022-11-09 16:06:52","modified":"2022-11-09 16:06:52","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"application\/pdf","type":"application","subtype":"pdf","icon":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/document.png"}}],"button":{"text":"","link":""},"referente_group":false,"data_emissione":"2021-12-31","autori":"A.
