Environmental certification is becoming the main tool for application of sustainable development principles. The European Regulation Emas and the international standard ISO 14001 both require for certification, to perform an environmental management system to prevent environmental impacts and to continuously improve environmental performance. For a good environmental performance evaluation (EPE), certification needs to use scientific methodologies and to interface with scientific research; here we proposed emergy analysis as a valid method for EPE and emergetic environmental performance and condition indicators (EPIs, ECIs) to monitor a territorial system: Ravenna province (Italy). Together with emergy indicators were selected other indicators for a deeper EPE: emitted/adsorbed CO2, energy consumptions, air and water pollution measures. The paper showed that Ravenna system has a good environmental performance and demonstrated how different indicators from the most advanced chemical research (chemical-physical, analytical, etc.) contribute to a complete EPE of a complex territorial system and are useful for environmental certification and sustainable development.
环境认证正成为应用可持续发展原则的主要工具。欧洲法规Emas和国际标准ISO 14001都要求进行认证，以实施环境管理体系，防止环境影响并持续改善环境绩效。为了进行良好的环境绩效评估（EPE），认证需要使用科学方法并与科学研究相结合；在此，我们提出能值分析作为EPE以及能值环境绩效和状况指标（EPI、ECI）的有效方法，以监测一个地域系统：意大利拉文纳省。除了能值指标外，还选择了其他指标以进行更深入的EPE：排放/吸收的二氧化碳、能源消耗、空气和水污染测量。本文表明，拉文纳系统具有良好的环境绩效，并展示了来自最先进化学研究（化学物理、分析等）的不同指标如何有助于对复杂地域系统进行全面的EPE，以及对环境认证和可持续发展的作用。
