Values and core business for the European electrical contractor

One Profession | Linked Sectors | 4 Markets > One dynamic Profession - in constant development

Our installers are dedicated to provide safe, comfortable and performant solutions to all sectors and markets they are working on. The advisory expertise of the electrical contractor is a vital part of delivering efficiency and quality. As a result of his involvement from the design and installation to commissioning, testing and maintenance, the electrical contractor has a significant contribution to make in achieving best value for clients especially in providing cost-effective design solutions that best meet clients’ needs.

• Energy services and standardisation: advising customers on energy efficient solutions to best respond to their needs, providing reliable energy through safe electrical networks in accordance with the highest demanding electrical EU standards and measurements.

ICT, smart and new technologies: the Web and Ethernet TCP/IP are being more and more integrated for better electricity distribution control and management. ‘Smart’ automation is not just a luxury item, but a reliable comforting tool too for example for elderly and disabled persons, in buildings or for industrial processes.

• Renewable Energies: stimulating use, optimalisation and correct installation of photovoltaïcs, heat- pumps, combined heat and power (CHP).

•

Training and Education: the increasing complexity of technical installation and the constant develop- ment of new technologies in the sector requests a dynamic approach towards education and training, stimulating the educational level towards new technologies and regular upskilling.

Monitoring and benchmark the different EU educational systems leading the trainees to highly skilled and competent installers.

> promote the electrical contractor as an expert advisor of energy efficient solutions > create awareness about new business opportunities for the electrical contractor > monitor and influence EU key legislation and ISO and CENELEC’ standards > contribute to energy demand management and comfort thanks to ICT and active control systems > promote safety of the electrical installations > stimulate installation of new technologies > improve sustainable energy together with renewables > be an information and coordination platform/network in Europe

AIE’s added value:

Monitoring the EU agenda/Directives relevant for the electrical sector, the AIE points out the key strategies and main priorities for the modern electrical contractor. With the increasing complexity of technical installations, the private consumer and house owner as well as the contracting authority or purchasing official are becoming more and more dependent on the knowledge and creativity of the electrical contractor. He is an expert adviser who is able to explain to the client the possibilities and advantages of new technology in a technical and environmental way.

Please visit our website: www.aie.eu or contact us at info@aie.eu

In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the mission of AIE is: • •

•

To co-ordinate and promote the common interests of European Electrical Contractors.

To monitor and influence the legislative and consultative process of the European Union relevant to the businesses of European Electrical Contractors.

To facilitate the exchange of relevant information between members and EU law implementation.
