Résumé

This Italian report on CD-ROM (which has a 12-page English executive summary), is the fruit of a study on the economics of district cooling applied to a virtual case study in Turin, Italy, in different scenarios. The growing demand for energy used in indoor air conditioning represents a challenge for environmental policies, in the context of energy saving and troubled Kyoto implementation. Trigeneration technologies seem promising but not yet able to enter the market with convincing commercial strategies. Nevertheless, the presence of district heating from cogeneration plants in large metropolitan areas provides an opportunity to develop district air conditioning. The preliminary conclusions are as follows: given the assumed technology and the trend for indoor air-conditioning demand, district cooling brings net social benefits from both sides of industrial figures (overall investments, maintenance and running costs) and environmental externalities. Some cautionary remarks are required in relation to the assumptions about energy efficiency in electricity production, discount rates, market prices of alternative technologies, plumbing and networking costs. Furthermore, the analysis does not encompass the distribution of costs and benefits among stakeholders.
