This contract with the University of Padua confirms our commitment in the Veneto region, following the contracts won with the Universities of Trieste, Udine, and “Ca’ Foscari” and IUAV in Venice.

The rehabilitation of the thermal power plants, centralized temperature control systems and the regular maintenance of power equipment will contribute to savings of 25% on primary heating.

“The cooperation with the University of Padua, while being a confirmation of trust from a prestigious cultural institution, is also a virtuous example of partnership between a public institution and a private company, where energy efficiency, along with innovation, represent a concrete driver in the energy transition. Undertaking actions for the optimization of energy expense and the reduction of consumptions, means generating, together, public and social value,” said Olivier Jacquier, CEO of ENGIE Italia.

“For the first time we have entrusted a global project to a single and well experienced partner like ENGIE, a choice that will permit a more efficient management, also thanks to the innovative technologies now available,” stated Giuseppe Olivi, architect and responsible manager for the property assets of the University of Padua. He continued: “Among these technologies is the GEOMAP system, a web application, designed by ENGIE, that will permit to track the entire property assets and plants of our University, through an information system, and to manage the programming and registration activities of maintenance, greatly facilitating the maintenance process.”

Our collaboration with the University of Padua adds a new reference to our extensive portfolio of services to the Italian universities. In Italy, ENGIE manages more than 300 energy installations for 18 universities: “IUAV” and “Ca’ Foscari” in Venice; the Universities in Trieste, Udine, Rome – “La Sapienza”, Ferrara, Milan, Florence, Perugia, Macerata, Teramo, Catania, Bari, Salento, Istituto Universitario Europeo in Florence and Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa.
