Nowadays, changes in global environmental conditions, such as pollution and global warming, have put major challenges to governments, industries and societies which are often charged of being the sources of these problems. The growing awareness of the protection of this topic has encouraged the development of environmental management systems (EMS). This work aims to build a methodology that is able to assess energy consumption and support environmental management systems within a research centre certified according ISO 14001 Norms.

Abstract
Nowadays, changes in global environmental conditions, such as pollution and global warming, have put major challenges to governments, industries and societies which are often charged of being the sources of these problems. The growing awareness of the protection of this topic has encouraged the development of environmental management systems (EMS). This work aims to build a methodology that is able to assess energy consumption and support environmental management systems within a research centre certified according ISO 14001 Norms. Four types of energy consumption have been selected and a critical index has been associated to each activity in order to define a ranking with respect to the energy impact.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
