The Italian Energy Audits model: A “cocktail” of best practices that lead to success
Italy is at the top among the virtuous countries in the EU to actuate the energy audits in large enterprises and energy consuming companies. In March this year, I wrote about the how the Italian model could unlock the great energy efficiency potential in the countrys SMEs. While energy audits are mandatory for large companies, Italy requires them for certain SMEs as well. 2016 data reveals that 20% of the total energy audits received were performed by SMEs, and shows that potential savings between 0,8 Mtoe and 1,1 Mtoe could be achieved with a payback period equal or less then three to five years The secret of the Italian success is to find in the innovative approach that includes a mix of best practices that lead to success, where the main ingredients can be identified as Technical, Financial, and Communication and Awareness, says Antonio Panvini, according to ENEA. The scheme gives a complete overlook of energy performance of the energy carrier (electric, thermal, vapor, for every energy carrier.
