Process

Among the projects and initiatives of the Energy Window of Savona could be mentioned:
1.    The Provincial Environmental Energetic Program (PEAP), approved with the deliberation of provincial Council n. 4 of 23rd January 2007, presents itself as an instrument to organise actions for the promotion and the spread of the sustainable resources and the energetic saving, carrying out the Regional Environmental Energetic Plan of Liguria (PEAR). The intervention actions could be included in the following three general lines:

• Exploitation of the sustainable resources; use of the wooden biomass, installation of solar manifolds and photovoltaic panels, realization of Aeolian and hydroelectric plans;

• Promotion of energetic efficiency. Introduction of high efficiency equipments and technologies and actions for the application and the improvement of normative instruments, as the energetic certification in buildings and municipal energetic regulations;

• Spread of a correct energetic culture. Information and training activities, as refresher and vocational training courses, camping of making aware and the definition of volunteer accords;

2.    The Sector of Environmental Protection of the “Provincia” of Savona every year from 2006 have been calling the Heating Plants Camping. With the campaign “The checks of heating plants is love for the environment” people responsible of the heating systems of any power (both low and high than 35 Kw) could certificate the occurrence of the maintenance of the boiler, avoiding on that way the burdens provided for in case of check. This allows not only to be in order with the law  (D.P.R. n. 412/93, following D L.gs. 192/05, modified and integrated with the D.Lgs. n. 311/06), but overall to guarantee the security of the building, avoiding the emission of dangerous discharges. The campaign constitutes the concrete engagement of the “Provincia” of Savona towards the implementation of the Provincial Environmental Energetic Program (P.E.A.P.) which has as objective that of reduction of energetic consumptions. In the provincial territory of Savona every year 1480 1480 GWh/year of energy, of which the 54% only in the civil sector, are consumed. The improvement of efficiency derived from the programmed maintenance of the heating systems would entail a changeable energetic saving until the 20 %. Tecnocivis S.p.A. is the company, of which the “Provincia” of Savona is part, which will check the performance of the heating systems also during the winter seasoning 2009-2010, task that have been already carrying out from 1999. Tecnocivis S.p.A. has high technical competences in the energy and security field and among its tasks there is that of being an operative instrument to support the Administration of Savona.
