The per-capita consumption falling from 87 to 42 kilowatt hours, the €10 million the city stood to save in the first year, the €38 million A2A would invest over two years: all of it was said in September 2014, before a single lamp was counted, and all of it is written in the future tense in the report it comes from

Operator/official, read in full: '136.000 apparecchi installati nel territorio cittadino', 4000°K, 50.000h, 100lm/watt, 'nessuna emissione verso l'alto', 'ridotto di oltre il 50% il consumo di energia elettrica corrispondente a più di 11.000 tonnellate equivalenti di petrolio risparmiate all'anno' and 'evitata l'emissione di oltre 23.000 tonnellate di CO2'. The page carries no publication or update date, hence date: null. It says nothing about remote control, control boards, dimming, scheduling or fault detection. Previously cited at a2ailluminazionepubblica.eu, which now redirects here.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
