The National Observatory in Italy addresses the project’s core topics with an approach tailored to the national context. Activities focus on two main areas: supporting enterprises obligated under Article 11 of the Energy Efficiency Directive and promoting voluntary programmes for non-obligated enterprises.
These topics are explored through three overarching themes: quality, support, and promotion. The Observatory aims to uphold high standards in energy audits and energy management systems, strengthen the skills, tools, and policies that support them, and promote greater awareness and adoption of good practices among all stakeholders.
It brings together a diverse and well-balanced group of key stakeholders: 13% from financial institutions, 19% from policy makers, 25% from academia, 13% from regulatory and technical bodies, 38% from trade associations, and 15% from professional associations. This broad representation ensures a solid and inclusive platform to support and improve the regulatory and operational framework related to energy audits and energy management systems.
