In compliance with art. 7 paragraph 8 of D.Lgs. 102/2014, companies that implement an energy management system ISO 5000, large companies and companies with high energy intensity that have fulfilled their obligation to carry out an Energy Audit by December 5th 2015, shall report to ENEA by March 31st 2016 the energy savings achieved in 2015.

As clarified by the Ministry of Economic Development in May 2015 “The obligation lies with the companies, and is referred to all of their production sites, including those excluded from obligation of energy audit due to the clustering process. The savings to be reported are those aroused both from efficiency improvements in the production cycle and from any other changes, even behavioral, in the management of the production cycle itself. The savings should be reported […] only if greater than 1% of the previous year’s consumption.”

MR Energy Systems will participate at the most important convention on building sustainability, Greenbuild, for the first time in the Euro-mediterranean region with the Greenbuild Euromed in Verona.

MR Energy is part of the official conference program with two speeches from its consultants, with a booth in the exhibition area (Pavilion 4, Booth C3.3), and presenting a tour of the sustainable buildings in Venice.

Greenbuild Euromed interviewed Mauro Roglieri, founder and General Manager of MR Energy Systems. Click here for the complete interview.

Buildings in which we work and live, are responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. This is due to energy consumption for lighting, summer air conditioning, winter heating, but also to the use of natural resources and building materials which create additional greenhouse gas emissions while being produced and disposed at the end of their life cycle.

Welldom, with Biocasa_82, commissioned by Claudia and Enrico Moretti Polegato (President Diadora, VP Geox), demonstrated how a building, in this case a residential house, can achieve the highest standards of respect for the environment throughout its entire life cycle, resulting at the same time an extremely comfortable place to live.

Biocasa_82 is compliant with the international standard of sustainability LEED for Homes at ‘Platinum’ level, but Welldom wanted to calculate analytically the reduction of GHG emissions throughout the life cycle, compared to the construction of a traditional building in Class C. This study was commissioned to MR Energy.

On 14th September 2015, the project will be presented to the public at EXPO Milano 2015.
