Models, tools and strategies for the rational use of energy and the improvement of energy efficiency in end uses
The objectives of reducing consumption and enhancing renewable energy resources within the company place the need for careful and conscious management carried out by professionals who are experts in the administration of energy.
Law 10/91 established in Italy the high profile figure of the person responsible for the conservation and rational use of energy, called Energy Manager, thus creating a network of managers in large consumer companies.
The Italian Federation for the Rational Use of Energy (FIRE) has been managing the appointments of Energy Managers since 1992 on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development in accordance with art. 19 of law 10/1991 and promotes its role. In the productive, industrial and similar sectors, the subjects obliged to appoint a manager are those with annual consumption exceeding 10,000 toe (a TOE is a ton of oil equivalent and corresponds to 5,300 kWh of electricity or 1,200 m³ of natural gas, to mention only two matches), while for the civil and tertiary sectors the limit is 1,000 toe.
Even subjects not subject to the legal obligation can appoint an Energy Manager to whom they can entrust all the activities aimed at optimizing business processes with the aim of increasing energy efficiency by reducing costs.
Therefore, not just a way to fulfill legal obligations, but an important opportunity for companies that reach high consumption thresholds, as in the case of energy-intensive companies.
The EPS team is mainly composed of Expert Engineers in Energy Management (EGE) certified according to UNI CEI 11339.
We propose to companies, obliged or not to appoint the Energy Manager, to make use of qualified EPS professionals for the observance of the obligations established by Law 10/91, able to support you in identifying and planning energy improvement interventions, and in procedure linked to the appointment to be forwarded to FIRE by 30 April, avoiding incurring heavy administrative fines ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 euros.
