in industrial energy efficiency and environmental projects. She has a strong background of
energy engineering with managerial and economical expertise and has accompanied several
projects on energy efficiency in the industrial and building sectors and on climate change
issues.

▪ She has Twenty four years of experience in leading teams towards effective energy efficiency
and Demand Side Management campaigns in industrial, tertiary and residential sectors.

▪ Her career included her responsibility in the National Energy Conservation Program:
Practically the responsibility lies on every aspect of the project from the managerial to the
technical part.

▪ Product design for energy/ Energy conservation in industry building: energy audits, analysis
of energy systems/Cogeneration systems analysis / Demand side management
(DSM)/Energy efficiency/Energy measurement and verification /Energy accounting systems/
Life cycle analysis/ carbon balance.
 ▪ Since 1985, he has been involved in several international projects funded by various donors
as World Bank, EU, AfDB, UNDP, FAO, and some development Partners (Technical
Cooperation, GTZ, etc).

Positions held:
1985-1992: National Agency for Energy Conservation (ANME):
- Head of energy efficiency Division
 - Responsible for business development of the energy efficiency in industrial and building
sectors
- Project manager of national and international consultancy and development projects with a
special focus on energy efficiency and flexible mechanisms.
- Responsible of management and monitoring and periodic mandatory energy audits for
existing projects, and provided technical assistance to businesses in the implementation of
action plans for energy efficiency. She managed well, development projects using
technologies and efficient processes in different economic sectors. Including residential and
tertiary sectors,
1992- today: Expert on energy efficiency/ Renewable Energy and clean production, carbon
balance (Bilan Carbone ®):
Mrs. AMMAR, Chartered Engineers specialized on Auditor Auditor Leader in Energu
Management Sysyem (ISO 50001) and Carbon Balance ® also assists in the implementation of
action plans.
Having a wide experience in energy diagnostic allows her to optimize and secure the crucial phase of
data collection in order to better supply and use the tool ADEME (Carbon Balance ®)
A Strength is to provide lighting economics and accounting from an analysis of physical flows from
the Carbon Balance ® which allows to implement corrective actions in mastering costs and
identifying potential return on investment.
Tunisian private cement industries are involved in standards and labeling that relate to sustainable
construction. They work in partnership with other players in organization such as WBCSD. She has
to establish the mensuel carbon balance for the SCE with GIEC methodology.
Energy audits for more than 40 companies:
- Energy balances and efficiency analyses of the most significant machines
- Technical and economical evaluation of the energy savings potentials
- Development of an action plan
- Accompaniment and technical assistance
Cogeneration:
Study for five ceramic companies in the field of use cogeneration (12 MW) and textile unit (6,5 MW ):
- Feasibility study
- Engendering study
- Accompaniment
Project ANME/PNUD: Task force Audits in Industrial sector:
As part of the project (Boosting energy efficiency for industrial that they never had an energy audit)),
this mission covers the technical audits conducted in each company. The target was to conduct the
technical audits at 20 installations screened from the industrial sector. And release more than 70 %
potential energy identified.
In this intervention an inspection of power plants and energy sites where done in order to determine
any factors that cause energy losses or inefficiency in energy use. The main component of this
project is to develop an energy management program and also to establish methods for energy
conservation. This mission presents an auditing report, giving a first action plant on energy efficiency,
get à program contract between ANME/Company and assist the company to release this action plan:
Obtains an adequate knowledge of the existing energy consumption profile of the site
Identifies the factors that have an effect on the energy consumption
Identifies and scales the cost-effective energy saving opportunities
evaluating the present energy consumption
identifying of energy saving possibilities
Reporting: Provide a detailed analysis of energy usage, the savings that can be made, and
the cost of achieving those savings.
Project ANME/PNUD: Accompaniment and technical assistance in Industrial sector:
Twenty factories are concerned by the accomplishment of their action plans with financial and
technical accompaniments.
Clean production
Focal point of CPRAC in Tunisia (The Regional Activity Center for Cleaner Production
CP/RAC) in order to develop an international cooperation with Mediterranean countries on
development and innovation in the production sector and civil society, based on more
sustainable consumption and production models. The activity is developed under
the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) for the protectionand development of the
Mediterranean basin.
Clean production in the UNDP program of clean production in Tunisia in collaboration with
Sweden office Sofies for twenty companies in industrial field.
