In fact, our country pursues an important goal: the reduction of 39,7% final energy consumption within the 2030, as defined in the National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) and the improvement of the energy performance of buildings plays a fundamental role in the contribute to this result. Suffice it to say that our country's housing stock contributes to the annual final energy consumption of around 40% and produces around 36% of CO2's annual emissions. Furthermore, the 70% of buildings was built prior to the first standard for containing energy consumption dating back to the 1976 (Law n. 373 / 1976).
The Smart & Efficient Buildings initiative is therefore perfectly in line with Eni's gas and light mission which intends to transform the relationship between people and energy, to use it less and better. For
this company has long pursued the strategic goal of evolving, from a gas and electricity supplier to the customer's energy advisor, to accompany it towards a more conscious use of energy.
