BUILDING ENERGY DIAGNOSIS

Course objectives

The energy diagnosis of buildings is the fundamental tool to draw a picture of the actions and investments necessary for the determination and possible reduction of economic, energy and environmental costs related to the management of the buildings themselves. An energy diagnosis must be conducted with considerable accuracy and completeness, so as to allow the identification of interventions aimed at improving the income statement of the company and / or the citizen. The energy diagnosis is regulated by legislation, but, however, the technical skills that allow the drafting of energy diagnoses that faithfully reproduce the real energy status of the building are not yet highly developed. In fact, the energy diagnosis is erroneously understood as a simplified instrument of energy certification and economic evaluation. When the diagnosis is carried out in a qualified way, it can and must act as an instrument that helps the building owners to correctly identify and manage the interventions to reduce the expenses related to energy consumption.
