Il Sustainable Energy Manager - A new approach to energy management in Italian universities

July 12, 2022, day dedicated to the figure of the energy manager at the Politecnico di Torino, at the Sala "Emma Strada" in Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24

Energy transition is the answer to the current energy and climate crisis scenarios. The RUS and its universities have chosen to take this path, focusing on the role of University Energy Managers and their actions in energy conservation and development of renewable sources. The event is organized by the WG RUS Energy in collaboration with the Italian Federation for the Rational Use of Energy (FIRE) and under the patronage of the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

It was be an opportunity to take stock of sustainable energy management, an area of great interest to the entire Public Administration.
