Energy Management Expert (EME – UNI 11339 – Lgs. Decree 102/2014)

Context

The issues related to energy and energy efficiency acquire an increasing importance in European and international areas. In Italy, the “Energy Efficiency” Decree 102/2014 established the obligation of Energy Diagnosis for energy companies and large companies, and has set challenging objectives for the Public Administration. This decree requires certified figures, whose requirements are covered by recognized skills.

Furthermore, the circular issued by the MiSE in 18 December 2014 re-qualifies the figure of the Energy Manager for companies, subject to appointment, requesting in practice new and updated skills, perfectly compatible with those identified by the UNI 11339 standard for the Energy Management Expert.
