Mostra Convegno sulle Fonti Rinnovabili e l’Efficienza Energetica nel Mediterraneo Napoli – Mostra d’Oltremare – 11/12/13 aprile 2013 Energy Saving in the Home and Daily Life at the Centre of the Sixth Edition of EnergyMed In the first two days of the Exhibition visitors have shown great interest in products with ‘total green’ solutions to apply in everyday life in order to contain both management costs and pollution Naples, 12 April – From bioclimatic architecture to organic deodorants for rubbish bins, from sophisticated lead batteries to the mini-backpack that charges computers and mobiles: all this on display at the sixth edition of EnergyMed, the ConferenceExhibition on Renewable Sources and Energy Efficiency in the Mediterranean, organized by the Naples Agency for Energy and the Environment (Anea) to be held at the Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples until 13 April. At the ConferenceExhibition there is room for everything that can make daily life more ecological and sustainable. Virtuous homes with zero running costs, inspired by personal well-being and the pleasure of living freely at home, such as for example, the ‘active’ house promoted by Sonepar: zero emission energy, water and solarization to optimise the relationship between energy and the natural local environment. And then - under production - the Promo EcoLiving initiative, a house built almost entirely of wood (the Promo ActiveHome), which has a healthy microclimate, humidity rates of between 40% and 60% and excellent sound-proofing. But domestic needs, too: for those who forget to turn off the TV or the light, or to turn on the oven, the solution is KNX, the kit for home use proposed by Schneider Electric, a system able to control and manage all the appliances that normally function separately and independently. Just touch the Apple devices to ensure energy-saving, simple management and safety in your own home. Room too for the new high-performance (17%) solar panels with cells in poly-crystalline silicon and prismatic glass which can also be used with inclinations of not quite 30 degrees, or not completely south-facing. And for waste products from electric appliances, tyres, oils, batteries and various products which, once used up, cannot be generally sorted in domestic rubbish bins. Thanks to an innovative maintenance process, one company regenerates all types of lead batteries, re-suppying them with an efficiency ranging from 75% to 100%. At EnergyMed there are also lots of total green solutions to apply to everyday life. Among these, for example, the photovoltaic backpack to recharge mobiles and computers and the electric or partly-electric bicycle. Soaps and detergents on tap - with Detersfuso which this year is adding new fragrances and all of 70 more outlets in Campania - confirm the trend towards intelligent consumption. To make refuse more sustainable and scented, here is Deotrash, a patented device from Biomeco: no battery, no electricity. It is enough just to lower the lids of the bins - at home or elsewhere – to activate the spray that disinfects the contents, preventing the spread of germs.

Putting efficiency and energysaving in first place means achieving a virtuous use of energy and materials and drastically reducing environmental impacts”.
