The EU Directive 2002/91/CE, regarding
building’s energy performance was transposed into national
law in 2006, recently updated by Legislative Decree 118/2013
which substantiates: Energy Certification System of Buildings
(SCE), Regulation of Energy Performance of Residential
Buildings (SHR) and Regulation of Energy Performance of
Commerce and Services Buildings (RECS).
This points to an evaluation of energy performance of
buildings based on the thermal behavior and efficiency of the
systems, and in the installation, operation and maintenance of
technical systems. The TIM (Installation and Maintenance
Technician) must perform several maintenance activities
related to buildings and technical systems, including:
maintenance management; planning; recording occurrences;
details of tasks and operations; and other actions and
documentation necessary for that purpose.
The RECS establishes rules to be observed in building’s
maintenance, to promote energy efficiency and indoor air
quality. A maintenance plan must: be initiated at the design
stage; be put in practice after the completion of the installation
of building systems; and to be accomplished during the
building’s lifetime.
This paper proposes to present a working methodology, to
be undertaken by TIM, leading to compliance with legal
requirements for maintenance of Commerce and Services
Buildings in assessment of the energy performance.
