Γ-convergence is a variational convergence on functionals. The explicit characterization of the integrand of the Γ-limit of sequences of integral functionals with periodic integrands is by now well known. Here we focus on the explicit characterization of the limit energy density of a sequence of functionals with non-periodic integrands. Such characterization is achieved in terms of the Young measure associated with relevant sequences of functions. Interesting examples are considered.
