SMART
ENERGY EXPO
THE FIRST
INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND WHITE-GREEN ECONOMY
Veronafiere,
with the
technical partnership EfficiencyKNow,
present the first international trade show on energy efficiency.
From 9
to 11 October,
at the Fiera di Verona, making their debut are Smart
Energy Expo and
Verona
Efficiency Summit.
Smart
Energy Expo is
the first
international event on energy efficiency and
white- green economy.
The aim of
the Smart Energy Expo is to become a National
and European reference point for
technology, solutions and products based on a modern rational energy
policy, from production to distribution, to the smart use of energy
A brand new
showroom at the trade show, which aims to feature the new
requirements related to the world of
rational and efficient use of energy,
offers a set of issues with a high technological content essential in
the light of the European Union’s ambitious targets in 2020;
reducing the primary energy consumption by 20 percent, achieving a
quota of 20 percent for final energy consumption coming from
renewable sources and at the same time reducing their greenhouse gas
emissions by 20 percent with respect to 1990 levels.
The October
2012 National
Energy Strategy has
identified a path and its priorities: energy efficiency is
potentially the national "primary source" of energy that
can be developed immediately.
The decrees
of 28 December 2012 have
established that incentives will be given for the production of
thermal energy from renewable sources and small operations of energy
efficiency. The measures also led the national quantitative targets
of energy saving that electricity and gas distribution companies will
have to seek from 2013 to 2016 and those relating to the expansion of
white certificates mechanism.
Energy
efficiency conveys an engineering approach to the processes that
utilize energy in its various forms to make them efficient and that
favor a utilization of renewable sources that are cost-effective and
environmentally friendly. The whole industrial sector will be
featured in a transversal and complete manner, not only photovoltaic
but, systems for monitoring and intelligent management of
electricity, heat and water, building insulation, high efficiency
cogeneration, biomass and electric cars. The layout of the trade
show’s pavilion will be color coordinated into 6 commodity
macro-categories: energy generation, building efficiency, plant
efficiency, energy&home ICT (information & Communication
Technology), smart cities and communities. These categories then
overlap, with the key sectors in which they can operate in:
agriculture, building, industrial, commercial, public administration
and residential.
Smart energy
Expo, therefore, is characterized as a B2B expo, an exclusive meeting
point between supply and demand, as demonstrated also in its choice
of working days. The event will be a showcase for the sector’s
professionals and operators but will also be an open event where
final consumers, industrial, private citizens and public
administrators can go to understand, evaluate and choose tools and
undertake concrete and convenient actions in order to be efficient.
Veronafiere
put forth a smart and innovative high-tech matching tool, Catalog
2.0: a tool, which gives the opportunity to business’ and visitors
to build close relationships before, during and after the event, all
thanks to a QR code on the stand and electronic totem, allowing one
to create on their smartphone or tablet a personalized catalog, with
a guided path ad hoc profiling at the same time buyers as a further
guarantee of the quality of the visit. Finally, the Catalog 2.0,
allows business’ a perspective of sharing and provides a system to
take advantage of the whole energy industry.
The trade
show has already received endorsements, not only from GSE (Gestore
Servizi Energetici), but also from the University of Verona and
Padua, the province of Verona and the Italian Ministry for the
Environment, Land and Sea.
The trade
show also avails itself of its collaboration with a prestigious
Scientific Committee, composed of: Dr. Edoardo Battisti, Prof.
Massimo Beccarello, Prof. Roberto Benato, Prof. Luigi De Paoli, Ing
Tullio Fanelli, Prof. Arturo Lorenzoni, Ing Alessandro Ortis, Ing.
Marco Pezzaglia, Dr. Fausta Rosaria Romano, Prof. Federico Testa.
