On July 4 and 5, 2024, HEP-ESCO conducted an "Energy Managers Course," drawing 15 participants from five major energy companies. This course focused on elevating the expertise of technical staff involved in implementing systematic energy management and efficiency measures. It targeted individuals responsible for energy management in both the private and public sectors, aiming to strengthen their capacity and skills in this critical area.
Participants were educated on EU-level energy consumption reduction goals and the integration of EU directives into Croatian legislation. The course emphasized the "energy efficiency first" principle for investment decisions in energy efficiency measures. Attendees were introduced to the ESCO Monitor system for remote reading, energy consumption monitoring, and planning. They also learned about the International Protocol for Performance Measurement and Verification and the European standard for managing key maintenance efficiency indicators.
Additionally, Sandra Maganje presented the nZEBRA project and our future intensive blended course, further enriching the participants' learning experience.
