This course concerns the basic principles and policies used in energy management. Students will learn the importance of monitoring and controlling energy and resource consumption in industrial settings and how develop and implement energy management programs and conduct energy audits. The course deals with the efficient operation of industrial technologies and facilities’ climate control. The course covers economic evaluation of energy conservation opportunities using engineering economic analysis. The course surveys the current state of energy policy with an emphasis on ISO 50001 design and certification.

Lectures will be given in classroom or, if conditions would require it, they will be available on-line or in mixed modality.

Students must attend at least 70% of the course lectures. It is mandatory the subscription to the course on the webpage on studium.unict.it.
