Both the courses, or part of them have to be previously approved by the Regional Sustainability
Sector.
Every Apulian professional order or college has an internal Sustainability Commission, appointed
by the Board, that has the task of updating the list of their accredited members, following the
instructions and evaluation criteria contained on Attachment 2 to DGR n. 2751/2012, but also to
organize events, courses and seminars on sustainability issues. Periodically each Board approves
the updated list and send it to the Regional office in charge of keeping the Apulian Regional List
of Sustainability Certifiers.
Each Sustainability Certifier has to maintain the requirements of authorized persons to issue
certificates of sustainability of buildings under LR 13/2008, by demonstrating a lifelong formal
or informal learning.
ZEMCH 2015 International Conference and Technical Seminars
In this general framework the ZEMCH Network, the Professional Associations of Architects P.P.C.
and Engineers of Bari and Lecce Provinces, selected together a series of topics in addition to the
high cultural and scientific profile of the International Conference in order to offer to Apulian selfemployed architects and engineers both an interactive intellectual discussion forum, and an
opportunity to improve their competences as authorized sustainability certifiers.
Speakers from all over the world together with the most representative authorities of the Apulia
Region, the professional world, and invited keynotes speakers of international and national fame,
compared experiences, procedures and construction techniques related to sustainable design, in
a broader international scene during the entire last week of September 2015.
The topics developed during the ZEMCH 2015 Technical Seminars, held on 21st , 22nd and 25th
September 2015 in Bari and Lecce, were adequately selected in order to encounter the high
scientific profile of the International Conference and the cultural needs of regional authorized
technicians who decline sustainability during their professional practices:
• September 21st Polytechnic of Bari – “Urban sustainability and building design for the
implementation of DRAG Puglia guidelines”
• September 21st Polytechnic of Bari “Energy efficiency and renewable energies in historical contexts”
• September 22nd Polytechnic of Bari “Holistic design. The design according to Design for All
