La partecipazione alle attività svolte nell’impianto di produzione di detergenti liquidi della Henkel Italia Operations S.r.l. è stata un’opportunità per analizzare i diversi mezzi a disposizione di un’organizzazione per controllare la sua prestazione energetica e intraprendere piani di azione economicamente sostenibili, con l’obiettivo finale di aumentare l’efficienza energetica. Il miglioramento della prestazione energetica richiede la collaborazione di tutti i livelli dell’organizzazione: questo ha dato valore aggiunto al lavoro in termini di adattamento del registro comunicativo alle diverse situazioni. Aumentare l’efficienza energetica è cruciale per affrontare le sfide che riguardano il nostro futuro. L’utilizzo di energia nel settore industriale sta globalmente continuando a crescere, ma è possibile controllare questo aumento. L’obiettivo principale della tesi è capire come un Sistema di Gestione dell’Energia conforme allo standard internazionale UNI EN ISO 50001 opera e identifica le opportunità di miglioramento. L’analisi è stata condotta contribuendo attivamente alle attività svolte dall’energy team. Nella prima fase i dati disponibili sul consumo energetico sono stati elaborati per stabilire l’andamento della prestazione energetica dell’impianto negli ultimi anni. La seconda fase ha avuto come scopo il miglioramento del sistema di gestione dell’energia, principalmente tramite la definizione degli indicatori di prestazione energetica per processi e macchinari energivori ed il loro monitoraggio periodico. Per questo i resoconti che combinano i dati di produzione e consumo e permettono a tutti i soggetti coinvolti nella gestione dell’energia di capire l’attuale prestazione energetica e di intraprendere azioni correttive sono stati ottimizzati. La collaborazione alla redazione della Diagnosi Energetica, comunicando i dati necessari alla Energy Service Company che si occupa della sua realizzazione, è stata l’occasione per capire in quale contesto legislativo è inclusa l’efficienza energetica, sia a livello nazionale che europeo, e per confrontare gli strumenti obbligatori e volontari per analizzare la prestazione energetica di un impianto con l’obiettivo di individuare le possibilità di miglioramento.

Abstract
The participation in the activities of the plant dedicated to liquid detergents production belonging to Henkel Italia Operation S.r.l. has been an opportunity to analyse the various means that an organization has to control its energy performance and implement economically viable action plans with the final objective of increasing energy efficiency. Achievement of energy performance improvement requires the collaboration of all the levels of the organization: this has given the work added value in terms of adapting communication register to the various situations. Improving energy efficiency is crucial to face the global challenges related to our future. The energy use in industrial sector globally continues to grow, but efficiency measures can control its increase. The focus of the thesis is understanding how an Energy Management System compliant with the international standard UNI EN ISO 50001 operates and identifies the opportunities of improvement. This analysis has been conducted actively contributing to the energy team activities. In the first phase, available data about energy consumption have been summarized to assess the trend of the plant energy performance over the last years. The second phase was oriented towards the improvement of the energy management system, mainly through the definition of energy performance indicators for specific energivorous processes or pieces of equipment and their periodical monitoring. For this purpose, reports that combine production and resources consumption data and allow all the energy team members to understand current energy performance and to take corrective actions have been optimized.
