About 50% of Italian households’ overall energy consumption is satisfied by natural gas, mainly for space heating, leading to substantial CO2 emissions. In Italy’s mild climate, fourth-generation district heating (4GDH) networks coupled with renewable sources (RESs) could represent a viable option reaching the ambitious decarbonization objectives set EU. this paper, such pathway, consisting in centralized heat pump (HP)-powered 4GDH network, and without addition distributed PV plant, assessed compared individual gas boilers-based reference scenario. A cluster buildings, comprising 200 dwellings, representative common households Rome, has been chosen as case study. Starting from cluster’s hourly demand, semi-dynamic MATLAB/Simulink model developed size technological components evaluate their performance respect outdoor environmental conditions. The scenario comparison carried out means techno-economic indicators: levelized cost (LCOHE), emissions, carbon avoidance (CAC). Moreover, sensitivity analysis address uncertainty regarding main economic parameters, namely electricity price HP DH investment cost. results show that 4GDH-based layouts significantly reduce at expense LCOHE. highlights how significant reduction both network capital are required achieving parity fossil-fuel based

In this era of perpetual advancement and innovation, the term “smart” is frequently misused. Linking smartness to a city should reflect solve multiple problems with single solution. A city, district, or area can only be smart when it contemplates different development axes rather than having just strength. This work an effort make Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India, by concentrating actions on five principal axes—Environment, Energy, Mobility, Community, Economy. Practical indicators have been selected well formalised obtain output value that support methodology rank each action its executable manner. Software like ENVI-met (to simulate greening pollution) PVSyst rooftop solar PV) used proposed, detailed discussion for result has presented. The involves creation model based morphological, structural, environmental data, as using SWOT analysis community feedback identify key areas intervention. results demonstrate effectiveness proposed interventions, notable reductions CO2 emissions, improved air quality, significant energy savings through implementation Nature-Based Solutions, PV systems, electric mobility.
