CSEAB

CSEAB mission concerns:

- tests on available renewable energy technologies and energy saving systems in order to measure their real performances and to analyze possible application problems and future improvements;

- studies on the environmental problems connected to human and industrial activity, including air, soil and water pollution and treatment technologies;

- dissemination the resulting information to the local community.

CSEAB CSEAB is taking advantage of the large experience that AIB

(Associazione Industriale Bresciana, the main shareholder) has been developing over the last 20 years in the field of environment, occupational health and safety and energy issues.

In the field of energy efficiency CSEAB has developed activities for the assessment of the energy status of local companies and in particular of AIB members; energy audits have been implemented in some local companies with important improvements.The main projects under realization are:
