Padova (IT)
Capital of the Padova Province, the City of Padova lies in the north-east of Italy next to the Bacchiglione River. Its population of 211,985 inhabitants is spread over an area of 92 km2 (2,304 inhabitants/km2). Padova has long been famous for its important University, founded in 1222, housing many historic, cultural and artistic monuments attracting tourists from all over the world. It is an important agricultural, commercial and industrial centre, and a central economic and transportation hub of the Veneto Region. There are many industries, mainly machinery, tools, textiles, tanneries and food processing. The town is active in combating climate change and promoting energy efficiency; Padova is twinned with Freiburg (Germany), with whom they work together on energy topics.

1. Replacement of installed thermal plants in public buildings owned by the Municipality of Padua, converting 65 generators from diesel fuel to natural gas 2. Interventions for the retrofitting of around 10 municipal buildings for energy saving (replacement of frames, thermal insulation of walls and floors, etc.) 3. Interventions for energy saving and efficiency by final users, promotion of renewables: distribution of hundreds of high efficiency bulbs, setting up of guidelines to professionals and general public on new materials/technologies for RES and RUE, grants for €200,000 for the installation of solar panels Planned 1. Strategic re-examination of most energy demanding operational municipal sectors: public lighting, including distribution lines; traffic lights; heating and electricity consumption in buildings and transportation. Completion of further steps of the Energy Efficiency Plan, including traffic lights, public lighting and old vehicles of the municipal fleet 2. Strengthening of collaboration among stakeholders in order to achieve common objectives, in particular with administrators of private blocks, thermal plants maintenance men and professional categories (orders of engineers, architects, qualified technicians, etc.). Project of involvement of block administrators, in collaboration with ANACI and ENEA for the energy retrofitting of at least 3 buildings of ANACI associates 3. Adopting tools for strategic planning & monitoring of the carried out activity and the definition of medium term objectives. Definition of the Municipal Energy Plan |

- Increase of RES contribution to energy supply in Padua, through at least 12% RES penetration of local energy use by 2010 |
Communication and dissemination materialThis part describes the way how the communities promote the actions concerning BELIEF. It aims at informing a wider public in order to raise awareness on sustainable development among them.
Furthermore it is the most visible part of the project for the citizens and should not be underestimated.
