Synopsis

The purpose of this study is to explore the issue of energy efficiency within Italian Higher education Institutions (HEIs). Its primary objective is to identify the levels of energy consumption and their associated costs, as well as to highlight policies and strategies aimed at their improvement. The study draws upon data collected in 2022 on behalf of the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), and it encompasses a general evaluation of Italian organizations and an in-depth study of six pilot cases. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the significance of universities adopting collective behaviors and sharing practices with the aim of improving energy efficiency, with the goal of reducing both costs and emissions.
