The funds made available by the government will be allocated for constructing new schools and upgrading existing ones. The works will start when the school year ends, and have been made possible by unlocking the stability plan for 2014 and 2015 (ministerial decree dated 13/06/2014 and ministerial decree dated 30/06/2014) and by allocating 510 million Euro to the "School Plan" by CIPE (Inter-ministerial Committee for Economic Programming). The overall 1,094,000,000 allocation will be used to support the provisions of the plan, which includes three areas: New Schools: about 400 building sites – either ongoing or about to be opened – for new construction and substantial maintenance of buildings, which absorb about 244 million Euro. Safe Schools: about 2500 buildings will undergo work to be made safe, with an allocation of 400 million Euro. The projects have already been approved and will be initiated after the decision approval procedure. Beautiful Schools: about 7800 buildings will be the recipients of an overall allocation of 110 million Euro for minor maintenance, decoration and functional renovation. A further 300 million will be released next year.

The National Archaeological Museum of Naples will soon inaugurate the renovated area that holds the Egyptian Collection, which ranks second in Italy by importance after the one in the Turin’s Egyptian Museum. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples, one of the first to be set up in Europe between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, housed in a monumental Seventeenth century palazzo, boasts the richest and most valuable collection of works of art and artefacts of archaeological interest in Italy. On April 1st, 2015 the Egyptian Museum of Turin showed its new layout, stemming from 5 years of design and construction work and an investment of 50 million Euro. The outcome is considered to be outstanding by all the world’s leading experts. The collection of finds is spread on an overall surface of 10,000 square metres, up from the previous 6,400, over four floors, connected by an escalator system that mimics an ideal journey upstream the Nile, designed by scenographer Dante Ferretti. A true cultural jewel, which is already expected to attract long queues of visitors from all over the world. The second museum by importance worldwide, after the one in Cairo. Sabiana took part in these important renovation projects, supplying Carisma and UTA fan coils for air conditioning the buildings.

The Council of Ministers approved yesterday the law decree prepared by Minister Dario Franceschini for the protection of the cultural heritage, cultural development and boosting tourism, including a 30% tax credit applied for hotel renovations. The Law Decree implements the intention declared about a month ago by the premier Matteo Renzi to introduce incentives for building restoration and energy upgrades of hotels, through tax credit mechanisms and short amortisation up to 3 years at most. This is a good opportunity for Sabiana, which is able to offer innovative, high energy efficiency conditioning equipment, that assure extremely high standards in indoor air quality thanks to the Crystall filter. These features allow hotel owners to upgrade their facilities to the top of their range, while taking advantage from the government’s bonus.

Sabiana SpA announces that the Arbonia Climate Division, of which it is a part, will be acquired by Midea Group, once the competent authorities give their approval. The future entry into the Midea Group will be a strategic move that will mark a new chapter for the company, which will be able to expand its product offerings and explore new markets. We continue on the path of growth and development with renewed commitment and the usual attention to the needs of our customers and partners.

According to the international GERIE study, published on the European Respiratory Journal, the elderly guests have trouble breathing in residential care homes in half of Europe due to the poor quality of the air they breathe. The study gathered data analysing the ambient air in 50 residential care homes in 7 countries, including Italy, and monitoring the conditions of 600 elderly guests, to look for the relationship between air quality in the residence and breathing health of the guests. We measured the concentrations of inhalable dust such as PM10 and ultra fine dust such as PM0.1, as well as formaldehyde and irritating and polluting gases, i.e. nitrogen dioxide and ozone. Furthermore, although it is not exactly a pollutant but an air quality indicator, we have also analysed the quantity of carbon dioxide, which tends to rise if the rooms are poorly ventilated, says Giovanni Viegi, coordinator of the survey and director of the Institute for Biomedicine and Molecular Immunology of Palermo’s CNR. The analysis highlights – with no significant differences between the various countries – that the facilities have rather high concentrations of all the pollutants analysed and that only one guest out of five is able to adequately change the air of their room. As the room smog increases, so does the elderly guests’ respiratory discomfort. "A number of sources are responsible for the pollution found in residential care homes,” – says Viegi. “The most significant ones are ingress of external pollutants, gas produced by kitchens and boilers, organic substances released by construction materials, furniture and cleaning products. Tobacco smoke should also be included, if the smoking ban is not observed or if it is allowed to smoke outside the building.” The elderly are very sensitive to “dirty” air because their immune defences are lower and if they live in residential care homes they are forced to remain in indoor premises, with a lot of other people and few opportunities to move: all elements that increase exposure and worsen the general respiratory health.

AIISA, the association of hygienists of aeraulic systems, highlights how some systems of "active sanitation" of plants and air are actually found to be commercial and that they have many negative aspects that must be taken into consideration. As already anticipated by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, these systems should be tested in real conditions of use and not in laboratory hoods to demonstrate their effectiveness and, to date, we do not know how harmful are these oxidizing agents they produce, therefore the ISS indicates its use, combined with appropriate filtration systems, only in the professional sphere and in NON-occupied environments (Covid-19 Report No. 12 of May 2021 on Sanitation).Sabiana has always offered systems to improve air quality and reduce the risk of contagion from airborne pathogens based on highly efficient filters and maximum environmental sustainability, with very low management and energy costs. The Crystall Sabiana electronic filters are today one of the most valid and sustainable solutions to drastically improve the health conditions of the air we breathe in our living environments.https://urly.it/3g-d_

The Abdullah Gul University in Kayseri and a futuristic residential complex in the centre of Ankara: two important contracts that Sabiana has been awarded in Turkey. Two batches of 3820 Skystar and Maestro appliances, the Sabiana fan coils with extremely high performance and low energy consumption, higher than the supply for Europe’s tallest building, Torre Pelli in Milan. An even more significant result in view of the fact that Turkey is unanimously viewed as a strategic market for expansion towards some important neighbouring emerging countries. Not coincidentally, the turnover for fan coils in Turkey has increased by 88%, in contrast with the German and French market, which conversely show a 10% decline. Sabiana’s results have been underlined as significant by various media outlets.The Abdullah Gul University in Kayseri and a futuristic residential complex in the centre of Ankara: two important contracts that Sabiana has been awarded in Turkey.

The crossing of the roof, especially when in wood, is one of the most critical points in the construction of the chimney for biomass appliances, from boilers to stoves.The industry of chimneys and flues, in recent years, has developed specific and SAFE products, which allow us to respond to the numerous requests of designers and installers. Thus avoiding often complex calculations, which otherwise must be an integral part of the declaration of conformity DM37 / 08.
