policy measures (energy efficiency/ecodesign requirements and energy labelling
schemes) for domestic end-uses. ENEA is strongly involved in RUE policies and
measures for the improvement of energy labelling and efficiency for end-uses
and buildings, has regional offices (CCEI) covering the whole of Italy for the
dissemination of energy efficient technologies and is member of the EnR
network. Main ENEA actions in dissemination of energy efficient labelled products
and technologies in the private/public sectors are:
- Thematic Publications on end-used and household appliances: from the consumers' point of view, ENEA published and upgraded regularly several booklets within its "Sustainable Development" series in which the energy labels are described in detail and advice is given to consumers on how to buy an efficient appliance and how to use it at best. In addition, the “Energy and Environment Report” is published annually, with a chapter dealing with energy consumption in domestic/tertiary sector.
- National training courses: several courses are at present being organised by ENEA on behalf of both Ministries for Productive Activities and Environment in the field of sustainable development for example for boiler installers and certificators and installers for photovoltaic systems.
- ENEA-CCEI
Network: CCEI is a network of 13 ENEA regional offices for assistance and
consulting to the final public and private users in the area of the energy
issues, concerning also civil sector, i.e. climatisation systems, insulation,
improving and the energy efficiency in buildings. About 40 experts are involved
