  • A Source Book for Energy Auditors, (1987), developed within ANNEX XI of the IEA’s Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems programme in collaboration with a number of major research organisations 
  • An Energy Auditing "Benchmark Experiment" in which commercial energy audits were carried out on the same set of carefully studied buildings in order to assess their accuracy. The audits were found to be very unreliable with no correlation between accuracy and cost.
  • Monitoring and analysis techniques for both solar building components and occupied buildings. System identification and neural network analysis techniques have been extensively used at the J.R.C. in its research activities on buildings.
  • Task I DataBase  INDEEP - IEA Implementing. Agreement on Demand Side Management
  • ECOCENTRE-Ispra Project of Energy & Environment retrofit of the Joint Research  Centre of the European Commission (1992-98)
  • MONISER Project for Restaurants and Supermarkets (SAVE 1996)
  • ROTHE Project for Old Tenement Houses (THERMIE 1996)
  • BEL Project for testing Building Energy Certification schemes (SAVE 1997)
  • THEBIS Project for the development of a Database of Thermie and national Building Demonstration projects (THERMIE 1997-99).
  • Evaluation Methodology of Demand Side Management Projects (1996-97)
  • Development of a database on Electric Motor Systems EURODEEM (1994-2000)
  • BELAS Project on Building Energy Certification schemes (SAVE 1999-2001)
  • Setting up the structure and technical co-ordination of the GREENLIGHT Programme.
  • Audit Guidelines of Electric Motor Drive Systems (1999 - 2002)
  • Training Courses and Seminars for Energy Managers on Electric Motor Driven Systems (2000-2002)
  • Participation in setting up and promoting Agenda 21 for Varese Area (Italy) (2003-05)
