## **About the Editors**

**Carlo Roselli** is an associate professor in Engineering Thermodynamics and Energetics at the Department of Engineering of the Universita degli Studi del Sannio (Benevento, Italia), who received ` his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II in Energy Engineering and his Ph.D. in Energy Engineering at the Universita degli Studi del Sannio. His main interests ` are focused on the dynamic simulations of energy systems, energy efficiency, microcogeneration, micropolygeneration, ground source heat pump, desiccant cooling, geothermal energy, energy efficiency, renewable energy as well as solar heating and cooling. He has been involved in different national and international research projects. Among them, two have been promoted by the International Energy Agency (Annex 42, Annex 54), and another one (GEOGRID: Innovative Technologies and Systems for the Sustainable Use of Geothermal Energy), especially focused on the geothermal sector, has been supported by a local Italian Institution (Regione Campania). He has co-authored more than 110 papers (international journals, chapters' books, conference proceedings) (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4423-8147).

**Maurizio Sasso** is a full professor of Engineering Thermodynamics and Renewable Energy Technology at the Department of Engineering of the Universita degli Studi del Sannio (Benevento, ` Italia), who received his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II. He received a research grant from ENI (ENERGETICA '87) on the topic: "Study of the applicative possibility and design of a medium-power geothermal convector" 1987–1988. He has been involved in different national and international research projects. Among them, two have been promoted by the International Energy Agency (Annex 42, Annex 54 as a subtask B leader). He was a member of a research group supporting Campania Region for developing the 2001 Regional Energy Plan (PER). His activity has been focused on the guidelines, planning and programming of geothermal energy in the Campania region. He had the scientific responsibility of a research group involved in the project "GEOGRID: Innovative technologies and systems for the sustainable use of geothermal energy", PO FESR 2014-2020. His main interests are focused on: applied thermodynamics, thermoeconomic analysis and the optimization of thermal systems, energy efficiency, microcogeneration, micropolygeneration, ground source heat pump, gas engine-driven heat pump, desiccant-based HVAC systems and geothermal energy. He has co-authored more than 190 scientific papers and two books (https://www.unisannio.it/it/user/396/curriculum).
