Fig. 2 The SDGs related to the energy and buildings initiatives at Politecnico di Torino
of self-sufficiency. Following these premises, here is a list of the main initiatives
PoliTO is pursuing and will pursue in the next future:
– Increase energy savings
– Detect anomalous electrical loads during periods of inactivity (in particular due to
lighting and ventilation)
– Map all indoor and outdoor lighting systems
– Replace at least the 50% of the total installed power with LEDs
– Replace the remaining 40% of old windows with new high-efficiency ones
– Systematize data collection and monitoring of energy consumption of major carriers through the Living LAB structure
– Communicate achievements and engaging audience through dedicated on line
channels and national/European campaigns.
All these actions can be mapped along the SDGs 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, as
illustrated in Fig. 2.
5 Mobility and Transport
Sustainable mobility from and to the university campuses and its five metropolitan
poles means to guarantee to all PoliTO’s employees and users the availability of
various transport modes. PoliTO is not only committed to propose new vehicles,
services and systems, technologies, innovative ICT applications for urban mobility
plans, but also to promote them in mobility management activities of Turin City
Council.
Solutions including new transport modes, alternative energy sources beyond fossil fuels, the collection and the dissemination of information to help mobility are
believed to be the path for sustainable mobility actions, in collaboration with the
Turin delegated public authority, essential interlocutor when planning the public
transport services satisfying the university needs and the latest solutions for shared
transport systems.
Turin and its hinterland is the only area in Italy, one of very few in Europe, to
engineer, design and implement the various transport systems and vehicles (by road,
rail, rope, air and water), along with the relative road and multimodal control (for
road, rail, rope, aircraft) using a strong component of technological innovation, ICT,
recognizable in ITS (Intelligent Transport System).
