What is an energy audit?
It analyses energy use and consumption to identify saving opportunities and possible measures. The level of detail depends on the site and objectives.
Italian Decree 102/14 and ISO 50001
Energy transition and efficiency
Reduce operating costs and emissions. We measure actual consumption to plan projects with strong returns on investment.
The cleanest energy is the energy we do not use
With volatile energy prices and growing pressure to decarbonise (Scopes 1 and 2), energy efficiency is an essential first step for industry.
We combine engineering and management expertise to assess energy use from every angle—from procurement and production processes to heat losses and auxiliary systems.

Key services
1
Energy audit
We conduct energy audits under Italian Decree 102/2014. They are mandatory for certain large and energy-intensive companies and can also help SMEs understand their cost drivers. We build energy-consumption models.

ISO 50001 energy management system
Implementing ISO 50001:2018 provides a systematic approach to energy performance. It helps establish policies, energy performance indicators (EnPIs) and baselines (EnBs), and may exempt eligible businesses from energy audits under Italian Legislative Decree 102/14.

Monitoring plans
You cannot improve what you do not measure. We design continuous hardware and software monitoring to spot consumption changes in real time and measure savings after improvements.
Energy efficiency FAQs
Which companies must carry out an energy audit?
Requirements apply to certain categories, including large and energy-intensive companies under current criteria. Eligibility and deadlines should be checked against official sources for each case.
What is the difference between an energy audit and ISO 50001?
An audit analyses consumption and measures at a point in time; ISO 50001 is a management system for continual energy performance improvement. They can work together.
What are EnPIs and an EnB?
EnPIs are energy performance indicators; an EnB is the reference used to assess performance. Both should be selected to reflect available data and significant energy uses.
Can ISO 50001 replace a mandatory energy audit?
In some cases, a compliant and certified system may qualify for an exemption under the rules. Requirements and conditions must be checked against official sources for the specific case.
How is an energy audit carried out?
It typically collects bills and data, maps energy uses and analyses processes and systems. The work may include site visits, measurements and an improvement plan.
How can energy waste be identified?
Consumption data, schedules, loads and operating conditions can be compared to find anomalies and opportunities. Expected savings should be estimated and verified, not guaranteed.
Why monitor energy use over time?
Monitoring helps identify changes, compare periods and assess the effects of measures. Conclusions depend on sound measurement and interpretation of the data.
Which energy efficiency measures can be considered?
Options depend on systems and processes and may include controls, drives, heat recovery, lighting or cogeneration. Feasibility should be assessed before estimating costs and benefits.
Can an SME carry out a voluntary energy review?
Yes. A review can help an SME understand consumption and assess measures even where no audit obligation applies. Its depth can be proportionate to the company’s needs.
