Integrated digital systems for building and urban processes: the integration of advanced digital technologies.

This volume is the result of thirty years of studies and research on policies and technologies applied to the environmental, energy and building sectors, with particular focus on processes and phenomena related to urban systems: research and studies carried out in some of the main academic centers in Italy and abroad, namely the IUAV university of architecture in Venice, the National Research Council (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - CNR), the Sapienza University of Rome, the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (Agenzia nazionale per le nuove tecnologie, l’energia e lo sviluppo economico sostenibile - ENEA), the National Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale - ISPRA), and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as well as United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the University of Massachusetts (Boston) and Cambridge University. The research and studies have found concrete applications in the policies of the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Protection of Land and Sea, and the Ministry of Universities and Research, from 1999 until today.
