Systemic Energy Networks, Vol. 2. The practice of macro and micro case studies (Volume 2)

The energy affects the lives of individuals and their various combinations, as for example the companies and their external/internal exchanges of resources that determine largely their environmental impacts. The theory of Systemic Design, explained in volume 1, gives a scientific way to find how the output in a territory can be considered and used as input in other activities in the same place. This theory applied to Energy sector gives interesting results supported and validated by real case studies, deeply described in this second volume. The cross analysis of the case studies is crucial to find interesting results and have some reflection on the topic. Eight case studies have been chosen for their approach, size, and experiences. This analysis aims to turn the theoretical knowledge into pathways of change suitable to the needs and capacities specific to regions or localities, and to replicate this model of systemic energy networks.
