European Project EMTEU – Energy Management Technician in Europe

The Renewable Energy Institute’s technical expert Marco Buoni, participates, as a representative of ATF, in the EMTEU European Project, Energy Management Technician in Europe. The training on Renewable Energy offered by the Renewable Energy Institute is designed on the EMTEU project and aims to create highly skilled and quality Energy technicians in Europe, please see below the beneficiaries and the objectives.

The protection of the environment, global heating, energy saving and the use of alternative energies are issues that worry both the UK and Europe. One of the European Union’s priorities is the application of guidelines and legislation geared towards using all resources to reduce energy spending and to improve the application of renewable energies. The objectives addressed by the project are to provide qualified technicians in the management of energy, their training and the certification of efficient installations.

European Project QualiCert

Marco Buoni secretary of the Association of Refrigeration Technicians (It), director of Centro Studi Galileo, vice-president of the European Association AREA and a director of REI, is part of the High Level Steering Group (HLSG) for the QualiCert European Project.

QualiCert stands for “Common quality certification and accreditation for installers of smallscale renewable energy systems” and launched in July 2009. In the initial 30-month-period, it developed a common approach to accreditation and certification of installers of small-scale RE systems for 5 EU Members States (i.e. Austria, France, Greece, Italy and Poland).

In line with an obligation for all Member States, arising from article 14 of the Directive on the promotion of the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) (28/2009/EC) to develop certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes for installers of small-scale renewable energy installations, QualiCert proposes a concerted action among different Member States regarding certification and accreditation of installers of small-scale building-integrated renewable energy systems. The project precisely addresses the RES Directive’s requirement of certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes in each Member State that obey to a set of similar criteria and recognise each other’s certification.

To guarantee broadest possible support to the future accreditation and certification scheme, QualiCert.. [read more]
