PATRES course at the start

The PATRES training course - "Drafting effective regulations for the introduction of RES in buildings", has started off in AREA Science Park

The Italian edition of the PATRES training course started on the 2nd of February 2011 at AREA Science Park's headquarters. The course, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Environment, entails a set of ten training sessions until the month of May (four 2-to-3-day modules). The 28 participants, coming from different local aauthorities located in differemnt parts of teh country, have been selected from a list of 55 eligible candidates.The training path follows a multidisciplinary approach. It starts with a general overview on renewable energy sources (solar thermal, photovoltaic, geothermal, biomasses etc.) and then focuses on the drafting of regulations and codes for RES deployment. The main goal is to provide participants with instruments and tools to have a general overview of regulations and policies for RES deployment, so that they will be able to suggest schemes and techniques for the diffusion of RES to their administrations. Once the in-class section is finished, the 28 participants will develop a pilot action with the support of a team of experts selected by PATRES. The experiences from the 7 involved countries will be collected in a publication which will give guidelines and practical advice to public administrations.
