ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Course objectives

Energy management means the promotion of efficient energy use. Who is called to this responsibility on behalf of public authorities or companies should be able to get cost savings by optimizing supplies through the opportunities offered the opening of the market in the electricity sector and actual decreases in consumption by optimizing the management of energy services, such as, for example, thermal management structures and illumination. In order to be able to operate energy audits preparatory to any type of remedial work; propose management actions that take account of best practices and projects during renovation of systems using modern technologies and techniques most appropriate; design the economic sustainability of financial interventions taking into account the formulas of third-party financing; through contracts of contract or concession of the management and maintenance of the systems ensure the achievement the benefits provided. The proposed course aims to provide the learning opportunities of those skills.

Prerequisites
Students must have a good basic knowledge on the following Engineering sectors: Heat and mass transfer, HVAC plants, heating and cooling systems, hydraulics, internal combustion engines and turbomachinery.
Books
Power point slides dealing with all of topics reported in the course program
Frequency
In order to attend the lectures the official time schedule provided by the Faculty must be followed. Besides, a visit to the DIAEE Micro generation Lab at Via salaria 851 is envisaged.
Exam mode
For all of students is mandatory to edit and submit their project work to participate to the oral exam. During the oral exam 2 wide questions will be made dealing with the topics presented in the EM course. For each question a mark will be assigned and together with the project work evaluation the mathematical mean will be calculated for the final mark.
Lesson mode
Lectures within the classroom, whereas all of topics reported in Course program are presented and discussed along with example and practical excercises
