Our services aimed at the PA

SGR Efficienza Energetica helps its customers to optimise consumption and implement specific solutions to improve energy efficiency and promote the use of renewable energy sources. It takes on the role of an all-round strategic partner in implementing decarbonisation strategies and policies. The energy management team offers a wide range of specialist services, providing consultancy, technical, managerial and financial support at every stage of the efficiency drive, from initial energy auditing and diagnosis to regular checks and reports on performance and results achieved by implementing identified actions to improve energy efficiency, namely: Energy audit: analysis of consumption, definition of forecasting models and performance indicators, benchmarking, appraisal of efficiency-raising measures, measurement and monitoring plans. Monitoring of consumption: real-time data measurement and analysis, energy baseline construction, validation of models and energy audits. Actions to raise energy efficiency: sizing and design of actions, assessment of incentive schemes (tax instruments, calls for tenders, etc.) modernisation proposals with alternative financing methods (EPC, PPA, etc.). Measuring performance: analysis and quantification of results, regular reporting of performance and consumption, evaluation of corrective actions.

With a decade-long experience in the design, creation and management of different kinds of energy systems, both traditional and state-of-the-art, SGR Efficienza Energetica stands out for its ability to offer highly specialised support with a stable structure for the sizing and performance of actions to raise energy efficiency and generate energy using alternative and renewable sources. Our expertise in engineering services focuses on creating reliable and innovative solutions, and supporting our clients at every stage of the process, from the selection of technologies to design, implementation, testing and commissioning of energy systems, such as: High-efficiency condensing technology-based production systems (using gas and biomass). Heat pump-based and hybrid systems. High efficiency HVAC systems. Solar thermal systems for the production of thermal energy. Renewable source-based electricity installations (photovoltaic, hydroelectric, etc.) for self-consumption in situ or aimed at Renewable Energy Communities. Systems for the combined production of electricity and thermal energy (cogeneration and trigeneration).

Monitoring energy use using an advanced analysis and management system is the first step when launching an energy efficiency project.

The intention is to respond to the period of transition we are currently experiencing, with a strong involvement in Research and Development projects related to the Circular Economy and the development of energy carriers from renewable sources.

Our roadmap is focused on the progressive decarbonisation of energy systems and on turning climate- and environment-related challenges into opportunities for different sectors of the economy, with the aim of supporting a transition that is both effective and inclusive.

Over the coming decades, the future of energy, particularly in the transport sector, will increasingly involve new gaseous and liquid energy carriers from renewable sources. Among these, biomethane, methane of biological origin that is already being produced, can play an important role thanks to its potential to deliver measurable reductions in CO₂-equivalent emissions compared with fossil fuels.

SGR Efficienza Energetica has embraced the challenge of improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impacts by integrating new technologies and expanding the range of services available to its customers.

Among the solutions for distributed energy generation from renewable sources, photovoltaic technology plays a key role. We provide comprehensive support throughout Italy, covering every stage of a plant’s development and operation:

• Initial consultancy
• System sizing and design
• Installation of advanced technologies in compliance with applicable safety regulations
• Removal and disposal of asbestos roofing
• Testing and commissioning
• Administrative procedures, including grid connection and, where required, energy withdrawal
• Performance monitoring
• Scheduled maintenance

Our experience in this sector, supported by a dedicated team of designers and analysts, enables us to develop innovative, tailor-made solutions for a wide range of requirements, from small residential systems to large-scale installations for energy-intensive industrial companies.

Solar thermal power is one of the simplest and traditionally most adopted renewable technologies, capturing, storing and using solar energy to produce hot water. It can be used for civil purposes (air conditioning in the winter and sanitary uses) or in industrial processes. To optimise the contribution of renewables and maximise energy and economic savings, it is important to consider a few key points: choice of the most suitable technology according to use and location (e.g. flat or vacuum systems, natural or forced circulation); correct sizing of the system in terms of capturing surfaces, orientation, storage capacity and operating logic; interfacing and correct integration with existing systems. It is thus essential to rely on people who can offer specific expertise, who know how to design, build, manage and maintain installations in such a way as to ensure their long life and constant savings over time.

The current trend towards the electrification of consumption is helping with the spread of alternatives to combustion generation systems, such as heat pumps and hybrid systems. Heat pumps are devices that use electricity to transfer heat from an external source (air, groundwater, waste heat, etc.) to an indoor setting, partially or totally satisfying the needs for space heating or cooling and/or the production of domestic or industrial hot water. If they are designed, built and operated correctly, these systems can be more efficient than traditional systems, especially if they are integrated with renewable sources, enabling part of the electricity needed to run the heat pumps to be self-produced on site.

Simultaneous production of electricity and heat through reliable and widely deployed technologies may prove to be a winning formula for distributed generation dedicated to self-consumption, providing the conditions for its proper deployment are met. Cogeneration systems, such as endothermic engines or gas turbines, can produce electricity by recovering the 'waste' heat generated during transformation. This heat can be used for a variety of applications, such as domestic hot water production or high-temperature process use, depending on temperature levels and the heat-carrying fluid. The complexity of the technology in question and the initial investment costs require the correct sizing of the system, assisted by models to simulate the energy balance. In order to construct facilities that operate under optimal working conditions while maximising energy, economic and environmental savings, a correct engineering phase is therefore required. This stage requires: characterisation of the heat load, in terms of quantity and temperature levels; choosing the most suitable technology according to the application; estimating energy and economic savings compared with separate production; evaluating incentives on the market (HEC white certificates, tax deductions, regional calls, etc.); drawing up a draft business plan. SGR Efficienza Energetica has extensive experience in combined electricity and heat systems, and offers services ranging from initial feasibility studies to implementation, operation and maintenance throughout the lifetime of the machinery.

Lighting can account for a considerable share of energy consumption, especially in settings where installations are switched on for long periods, such as in production or process facilities, retail stores and street lighting. Regardless of the specific sector or application, entailing unique aspects and requirements that need to be carefully considered, measures can in any case be taken to improve energy efficiency. These actions aim to reduce consumption and optimise lighting levels. One of the most common strategies is 'relamping', which entails replacing light sources (particularly incandescent or fluorescent lamps) with high-efficiency alternatives, typically LED technology. This intervention can lead to significant savings in lamp power consumption while also improving the lighting level and adapting it to specific needs or regulatory requirements. To maximise savings, the lighting system can also be equipped with an advanced dimming system. This system can regulate the switching on of light sources and modulate their brightness thanks to ad hoc sensors, such as presence detectors or illuminance meters. SGR EE has extensive experience in the field of lighting systems and related efficiency. Expertise has been acquired thanks to a group of companies that have been operating in the industrial, tertiary and public lighting sectors for years.

SGR Efficienza Energetica offers innovative solutions for optimal energy performance, thanks to the revamping of existing installations and to the Genesis BMS system. After conducting an in-depth analysis of facilities and performance, our technicians are able to identify all critical issues and inefficiencies that cause excessive energy consumption in an installation. They then design an integrated plan, with the installation of state-of-the-art hardware and software components, capable of giving new life to each facility, with immediate benefits in terms of lower consumption and greater reliability and comfort. The advantages are clear to see: lower consumption compared with non-optimised facilities, and a significant drop in maintenance costs, thanks to round-the-clock monitoring.

A well-structured maintenance plan is crucial for optimising expenditure, enhancing performance and prolonging plant life. Thanks to a scheduled intervention calendar and integration with AI-based management systems, we are able to schedule maintenance work only when strictly necessary (most alerts are managed remotely from our operations centre), guaranteeing significant energy savings and up to a 20% reduction in maintenance costs.
