Energy Efficiency
Cluster project
The Cluster project - "The energy chain" is financed by the European Social Fund, the Labor Ministry and the Friuli Venezia Giulia regional government (Measure D.1) and is targeted at SMEs that want to strengthen their capabilities as regards energy, in terms of savings, certification and new regional and national policies on energy improvements.
The project is managed by a partnership consisting of:
IAL FVG (lead partner)
Udine industrial association (Assindustria Udine)
API
CATA CNA Udine
CIFRA - Centro di ricerca e formazione ambientale dell'Università di Udine (University of Udine center for environmental research and training)
Friuli Innovazione
Confartigianato UDINE (association of artisan companies)
The process is organized around a series of training meetings - there are three courses and eight seminars - and individual rounds of technical assistance (on a consultancy basis) offered to companies that want to carry out energy diagnoses and draw up energy improvement plans.
Various topics are covered by the training activities: from techniques to improve energy efficiency and in-house energy production to the energy diagnosis of buildings, sizing of photovoltaic installations and financing available for renewable energy sources.
